      @xoxo2008oxox C'mon now, we all know Fischer sneaks in and has YT contacts. Heard of Lock-picking lawyer? I'm sure our man knows a few tricks to get in and out of his neighbor's locked shed, location of security cameras, and can possibly Ocean 11 his way into the house and out.
      I just think it's simpler to go down the block, 2 to 3 city blocks, to my local HD or Lowes. Although I'm willing and prefer to drive to 3.5 miles to my closest Menards.

    When you said you said "I had to go slab hunting and for that I took a trip over to a place called...", I fully expected you to say, "my neighbors garage". At least you "borrowed" his extension cord for the wiring. What a good and generous neighbor you have. I also hope you get those hernias taken care of soon. You are a fine craftsman and a comedic genius.

    Nice work, Drew. While that crack may not grow, it might collect dust - but, since you use cleats to hang it, you can always take it down and epoxy fill those cracks on another video.

    The waiting for the batteries to charge is a harbinger to all those who have EV's attempting to travel beyond their fifteen minute city. Sometimes the ol' "umbilicus electricus" is a good thing for grinders. Beautiful results, Drew. When stud finders lie, (it happens) I find the outlet along the wall which is usually attached to a stud, tap on the wall to locate which side of the receptacle the stud is located, measure from the wall, transfer that measurement upwards. Same process applies to nailing baseboard.

    Just to add the obligatory “you should’v” comment, it would’ve looked nice to leave the bow ties proud of the surface & round off the edges to give it the pillowed look. But il save that for my own projects instead of projecting my ideas.

Batteries are like clamps you can never have too many 😂
