Dumb to managed switch conversion
This is cool: Dumb to managed switch conversion. The author takes a cheap switch and upgrades it to support VLANs.

You can see I still have my Xbox power cable plugged in. We’re not sure exactly what that does. In addition to an electronic fuse maybe an RCD or maybe an arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) or maybe all of the above.

Toilet light cover
I had to replace the globe in the toilet light:
But when I did I managed to snap off the tabs that hold the cover on. So I glued and bolted them back on:
You can see the screws I used are way too big. I had 6mm and 18mm in inventory and had to use the 18mm ones. Realising this gap in my inventory I have just now purchased some 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm ones to flesh out my collection.
