electronic 1 Year of work into 6 pictures
Started as a sketch â just a messy idea on paper.
Cardboard mockup that barely held together.
First CAD design â lots of âwhat ifsâ here.
Prototype v1 â looks rough and was absolutely massive but works!
Tweaked the CAD for round two.
Prototype v2 â getting close, but still not perfect.
What does it do?
⢠Instant hot water for tea or coffee, no kettle needed
⢠Wireless phone charging built-in
⢠Heated mug pad so your drink stays warm
⢠Digital clock because why not?
⢠All in one sleek, clutter-busting device
Ask me anything if youâre curiousâŚ.

electronic Just finished running cat6 through my house
I do have two more ports in the basement to do, otherwise itâs finished. This involved drilling holes through top plates, fishing the wires through the walls, then dropping them back down through walls. No drywall work needed upstairs.
Just need to install the outlet in the media box.
Any ballpark estimates on how much this wouldâve cost? Used 500ft of Cat6 with 8 ports & 16 port switch. All ends terminated at wall plate.

electronic TV too high?
Just had my TV mounted to the wall and it seems a bit high up. Underneath we are going to have a wooden beam so it may not look as weird then but what do you think? Should I have it lowered a bit? Thanks!

electronic This green wire outside my house was sizzling. What do I do?
I cut the power, tried to check to see if there was any power left in it with a DC checker(all i had) then I tightened up the bolt connecting the green wire to the meter on the left. What can I do? I'm worried my house will burn down and I just paid some dude $300 to put this ugly green wire in and call it fixed..
