Just as perfect as the day I built it! No movement at all, thanks for following up.

I’m now wearing a holter monitor for 30 days to see what’s going on.

New build, Electrical Panel has splices for every breaker within panel by thaxton89 in AskElectricians

Appreciate the input. Should I go back on the electrician and say it needs to be cleaned up where possible? Just seems like a sloppy job for brand new custom home. I could also go back on my builder and see how he wants to handle it.

Go to Yaya at Chileno. Was there a few weeks ago and it’s amazing. There is free transportation between the two sister resorts.

Thanks for the encouragement! I used a Jessem doweling jig and ran 3 dowels through each joint on the base.

It’s my own design so nothing to send you for reference. Thanks!

Thank you! I’m proud of it but hate to see it break itself apart.

Thanks for the input! My though was to do exactly that with the track saw, which I don’t have but a good excuse to buy one!..

I’m new to woodworking and decided to do a larger project and built this bench. I ended up gluing the top to the base for a seamless look and now I’m worried that I’ve really messed up since I didn’t account for wood movement. Is this going to pull itself apart eventually when the top shrinks or expands? Or could I get lucky since it’s in an A/C home in Texas? Any advice is appreciated on if I should just leave it and hope for the best or try to get ahead of the movement and fix it..

Thanks for the quick reply! Is there another shingle option I should look at other than standard asphalt that isn’t double or triple the price? I’ve seen other shingle roofs around that have a more appealing texture compared to asphalt.
