I don't think either are particularly exciting and I didn't take pictures, but I'm proud of them.

After years of putting it off, I've finally cobbled together a gaming PC, it's not a powerhouse, most of the parts are about 10+ years old salvaged from my wife's upgrades over the last few years, and I still need to find a keyboard and mouse I like

I don't really have space in my home for a desk, the spare bedroom/office is home to my wife's computer and don't really have room to squeeze in another, so I built it in a HTPC case, and it's pretty damn cool playing on the 70inch TV with surround sound and the hue lights synced up to it

The other is the cabinets above our fridge. We got a new fridge that's a bit bigger than our old one, and there's a bit of a weird bump at the top that prevented the cabinets from swinging open fully.

So I moved the hinges to the top of the doors instead of the side, and added some gas springs so they stay open, they have enough clearance to open that way.

The measurements the springs came with to tell you where to mount them are total bullshit. Took a bit of trial and error to figure that out, but my cabinets now have DeLorean-style gullwing doors.
