2 sheets of drywall need to be replaced. It was still soaking wet up there and it spread. Going to leave it open so stuff dries up then they'll come back. Insulation actually doesn't look too bad. Water mostly sat between vapour barrier and drywall.

PCBs came in. Fitment is more or less perfect. Actually was 1mm longer than I tried to measure for but turns out I could have gotten away with making the board about 2mm longer as it's ok if it goes past the edge of the enclosure, it closes fine, and actually closes better that way. Also should have marked the resistor values or at least the IDs then print out BOM list. Same with diode/LEDs should have marked the +. Live and learn, that's fairly minor as once I have one board done I'll just use it as a model then do the others. This is a short BOM list anyway so won't be too involved to solder. I think if I was doing a more involved board I would opt for the assembly service though, depending on cost. Have not priced that out yet.

Somewhere an electrical code book just caught on fire.

My electrical panel doesn't have physical room for a 60 amp feeder so my garage sub panel is getting 120v 15a for now and I'm plugging it in the washing machine outlet. Eventually going to upgrade the main panel then I'll cut it in properly. Need to do server room too.
