Any handyman out there that can help with a DIY question?

[skyguy918]

Anyone ever done gutters (more specifically downspouts, diverters, etc.) on their own? Trying to figure out what pieces and tools I need to make some adjustments to my system.

Any led strip with color, what's the question?

it was wired in before the cabinets were put in. i'm pretty sure he cut off the power source and wired it himself. i guess it just need to figure out how it was wired

Gotcha. Check the power reading with multimeter to make sure it works for whatever new strips you buy.
For colors your going to want a controller in between to allow control.

This is what I found
Thos wires go through those holes to the strip lights

Probably pays to replace all the wiring with what comes in the box of what you order.

Promotion is that it goes through the walls

You can use their wiring that shouldn't be a problem, just gotta to reattach the wires to the power supply. If your lucky and the lights you get have the same volts and needs equal or less amps then you can use the same power supply.

Any ideas how to set up a non permanent partition to separate part of room that blocks the lighting?

Any creative ideas?

I'm thinking like a tension rod with some sort of curtain but not sure it will be strong enough across the room about 12 ft

2x2 sukkah board frames with blackout curtains stretched and stapled.

Portable mechitza?

Won't be tall enough I don't think

2x2 sukkah board frames with blackout curtains stretched and stapled.

Interesting idea. I'm not sure how portable that is it's not like a curtain I can slide over. I would need to make a door too etc.

I'm thinking some sort of system with poles and a curtain but just haven't found anything in my searching. Ideally the height and width would be adjustable

¾ inch EMT conduit as the frame. Very versatile

you could just put in hinges to basically make it

that are tall enough

How many light sources are there and what type. Can you just tape a few pieces of room darkening shades to the ceiling

How many light sources are there and what type. Can you just tape a few pieces of room darkening shades to the ceiling

It's on light source in middle of the room and I'm closing off one side

[Something Fishy]

I need to attach a light transmitter to this ledge. The bottom is wood, the side is paper-covered foam board:



My challenges are that the light protrudes about 3/8" from the bottom support. In addition, it needs to be removed periodically, so it can't be permanent - but it needs to be fairly snug as the whole contraption will be moved around somewhat regularly. I also want to add a heat sink between the light and the side wall.

I was thinking using a pair of offset brackets for the bottom and standard l-brackets for the top (both red). The bottom bracket will be screwed into the wood, and the top glued onto the paper backing. I'd run a velcro cable tie (blue) from the top to the bottom, giving me a snug and removable closure. Two glued i-brackets (green) will go behind and out to help dissipate heat.



I think this will work, but it's kinda messy. Anyone have a more elegant solution?

[Something Fishy]

My original plan was a lot simpler, as the light I really wanted as way too big so I went with a smaller type that was flush to the support. But in between starting this project and now they actually came out with a way smaller version of the light I originally wanted, but that is what gives me the problematic 3/8" protrusion. Still worth it, but a bit more complicated now.
