So the thing about knee replacement is that in the future they may need to do a revision surgery, sometimes only to replace that white plastic part.
So I hope someone out there is working on a procedure to arthroscopically remove and 3D-print that plastic part in place. 🙂

4 weeks post knee replacement: I got to 128 degrees yesterday. Every day is leg day 😅. I still get tired easily, am not sleeping great but overall doing well and starting to get more work done.

Later I will address the mess inside the panel but now I can shut the door again.
(No, I did not paint, just bad lighting today.)

I finished installing the heater. I would change a couple of things if I had it to do over but it's up and running, doesn't make a lot of noise and was raising the temperature pretty steadily. If we have any cold mornings left I'll see how it does.

Progress. There's a cover plate for the ceiling hole with a hole for the conduit connection that I should get on Saturday so I'll finish up the heater then.
Also some CAT5 to run.

I made another hole in the wall to make it easier to route the large cable (which I'll cover with a blank plate.)
I'm still waiting on a few parts so for now I buttoned up and spackled some of the bad spots.

Drones don't have to fly to be useful - they are good remote cameras. I was in the garage below watching to see where the drill bit emerged.

Enough talking, I finally cut some holes and pulled some wire from near the panel to the ceiling where the heater will be mounted.

As expected all the runs go straight up and I'm not likely to run into anything if I run left through the stud and up.

I'm going to move some of the internet-related wiring behind the wall, then add a circuit for this heater.

The goal for today was just to move things out of this corner so I have room to work. The bread proofers are running today so I won't cut power and peek inside the panel yet.
From the attic space above it looks like all the runs go either straight up or right and up but I want to see.
