    Yeah, it’s 2 months shy of 10 years older than me.
    I have been asking an HVAC tech friend of the family for assistance with this as I diagnose what we need and this is what he said.

    Nice use of space. Looks like maybe you have a watch charger or two. I consolidated my watch and alarm clock in to 1 using this. It works great and allows me to hide wires since i dont need to move them.

    oh I do like that! I have a fitbit and she has an apple watch lol.

    she's already ordered me a new alarm clock because she hates mine, and I'm weirdly old fashioned and like having an alarm clock...

    We are almost done with our laundry room remodel. It was just a 6x6 and we bumped it out into the garage 4' so its a 6x10 now... We have baseboard down now and 2 cabs above the washer dryer and a 6' cab in on the wall opposite the washer in the add on. I used walnut for the exposed beam to cheat on the transition so I didnt havr to get everything perfect... Someone once said a carpenter is just like a cat; they cover up their crap... Oh I'm also build a folding shelf that will go from the tall cab to the breaker box

    I was too, but the watch functions just the same with snooze and off buttons. Plus it goes dark when you don't want to see the time. Touch the night stand and it'll sense the vibration and light up.

    I like it. I want to build a mid century wall shelf unit but walnut or teak is crazy expensive. I wonder if birch plywood would give me a similar look...

    Bunch of stuff
    I built a new shed/small shop so I could have more storage and also divide some of the workspace between here and my garage so I don’t feel so cramped in my garage. It’s 12x16 with 10’ walls. Still have to add all the trim pieces and build doors for it. Ran a 50 amp sub panel in it So I could have a dedicated area for my 220v air compressor and plasma table.
