Not a fan of cold welded connections?
Not really, but to be fair I have spent a fair amount of time wiring tractors and monster trucks (I.E. Stuff that bounces and vibrates a lot). Even with my reservations against cold connections, your cabinet is looking awesome!!!!

Very cool! And thank you! I'm not a fan of using wire nuts outside of junction boxes, and the door is on hinges. I needed to make sure all the connections could withstand a small tug if for some reason the slack I left doesnt prevent that. I'll also check everything with a multimeter before it's put into service.

It's this darn engineering brain of mine. Blessing and a curse!
I know how that goes, I have one too. I am looking for a house then I can start my permanent build and make everything exactly the way I want. However, I'm not sure I will ever be as organized.

Sure you can be. Dream it up in your mind, then put those thought down on paper. If you have a plan and a process, you can be even more organized.

Just two more common neutrals to run, then wiring to the junction boxes, and the wiring is complete! Calling it a day for today though.

So do you do house calls to set up aquarium systems?? Lol Put me on the waiting list!!
I wish! If I could make more money doing this than my day job, I would in a heartbeat! I'd also have to step my game up a little too. Wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't offer anything but the absolute best
