Update-Cabinet Outlet

Update-Cabinet Outlet

Love it or hate it, she’s done.

Thanks again for the encouragement and input last week. Shifting to a different color than the white was a game changer.

Notes: yes, the outlets are GFCI protected by the next outlet upstream; yes, I know this is code questionable; no, this will not be inspected; placement is 7” below counter top due to drawer on the front face.

Feedback on Cabinet Outlet

I’ve been picturing adding an outlet at the end of this cabinet. The 6’ stretch between this end and the oven doesn’t have any wall outlets because the brick is the back of the fireplace in the next room. I have the electrical already ran, just need to terminate everything. I’m getting ready to cut the opening for the outlet and I’m hesitating because it’s so low to clear the drawer depth. Context. There are 4 other duplexes in the kitchen at countertop level.

Does this look dumb? Is the utility of the outlet worth it looking kind of funny? Should I just leave it clean and deal without the power? What do y’all think?

EDIT UPDATE: Thanks for the feedback everyone. The code notes and matte color match tips were very helpful!

Looking for Sunshine quilt pattern (Hawaiian shirts with collars and buttons)

Does anyone happen to have this quilt pattern they’d be able to share with me second hand or know of a place I could purchase it? I can’t find anywhere online that has it for sale still since it’s an older pattern. I’m happy to pay for a scan of the PDF.

Overgrown Rhododendron Advice

I inherited a few overgrown rhododendrons when I purchased a house this spring. These two are out of control, they’re standing over 6’ and the tops are completely shading everything below. I cleared out all the dead branches yesterday and was planning to just cut ~30% to open it up, but now I’m considering cutting everything back down to the new fresh stuff near the base. I’ve never done this before, so it makes me a little nervous, but it seems like the right thing. Any advice from folks who have more experience with these than me?

New quilting room in progress

Moved into a new house last month. Finally getting around to actually unpacking and settling in. Proud of how my cut station turned out and I need to share it with someone! Bought this pan hanging rack two houses and many years ago, but never got it hung up. Happy to have finally found a home for it!

Rebar mesh for tomato cages

Looking to see if anyone has partial rolls or cut end of wire mesh rebar like this leftover from projects. I’d love to snag some to make a few tomato cages. The minimum needed for one is about 80” length, so cut offs much shorter than that wouldn’t be helpful. Figured I’d check here before going out and buying a roll bigger than what I need.

Tall painted wood cabinet

Sturdy painted plywood cabinet. Dimensions in photos.

Primarily built from 3/4” plywood and used indoors. Good for a storage or linen cabinet.

Pickup in SW Portland, it is stout, I’m happy to help load but it will take two strong people to lift into a truck.
