We've debated what we would do. Hard to know if it helps or hurts selling the house. (Which is not on the horizon at this point) You do recall that this kitchen renovation project started in 2018. Is that a thing to do? I'd imagine wood movement will crack the glue. I think I'd put a dot of silicone and let its weight hold it in place. Or else drill little mortises into the quartz and add some corresponding tenons to the frame to keep it from shifting

At the bottom of the feet there are cutouts for adding leveling blocks to compensate for floor variance. I put the cabinets in place, level them with shims, measure the spaces with feeler gauge blocks and then plane down small pieces to fill in the gaps.

Not in CT as far as I can find. But I haven't looked in a few years.

BB is in short supply around here. I got the last 4 sheets of 12mm from the local lumber yard a few weeks ago and they told me they were unable to get more for the foreseeable future

With a ladder, but it wouldn't fit more than half in the shower. So reaching the corner was awkward

I love tile, but I dislike almost all the tile you can actually find. Good tile is rare. Also, the tile is heavy, getting a ladder in the space is impossible so everything was weirdly cantilevered, and vertigo.

Here's the tile w/ grout. It's a quite small bathroom. We had to tear out tile that was done in the late 1920's, which was very sad, but the pipes were leaking. We did preserve the plaster crown, but it was otherwise a total gut. And I'd like to say that tiling the ceiling is probably the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life.

Which was delightful when it came time to grout it.

Maybe you are using the wrong amplifier ...

That was Colin's project.

Happy birthday! Hope you have a great one!

This is a year old, but I missed it at the time. RIP Kellye Nakahara.

These are disposable/unrepairable headphones. Replacement drivers are built into the price. I'd clip out the metal screen and solder them in place as that's less likely to cause failure. This works with hide glue, but probably not so well with PVA glue (the ubiquitous yellow wood glue). PVA is impervious to water - it's basically plastic and is designed to last in underwater applications. This is why antique furniture is repairable, but mid century furniture, and newer, generally isn't.
