In the UK you can't even buy that many at once 😆 without a prescription at least - paracetamol and ibuprofen are usually 16 per pack and they don't let you buy more than one of each

This is in Llandudno in Wales - cable hauled tramway up The Great Orme, which is a big coastal promontory hill thing which also has the UK's longest cable car up it

We all have a bean hall in our houses, building regs say you have to

This wasn't where the ice buildup was - I guessed maybe they left the door open at some point and an animal had a nibble

Nah I've got something similar - not exactly like this but the glass tube with heat exchanging mesh and space underneath for a burner is pretty distinctive - then searched "Stirling engine heart arrow" and tons of these came up

Its great to hold! Very chunky in the hand. Functionality wise I only gave it the on/off, volume and input selection from the media devices, and then it talks to another esp32 base unit that controls some lighting over WiFi, but as far as actually driving the media controls I shamefully just use the Google Chromecast controls, I'm not savvy enough to set up a FOSS alternative yet

Weird coincidence - I had a really good Mexican dinner 2 streets away from there last month

I did something similar a few years ago as my first built-in project.

What I found helped was using glue as well as hardware to attach the framework to the wall, and tying them into more than one side of the alcove. Structurally they were some strips with a plywood box built around them and some nice facing on the front.

Tools were really just a tenon saw for the frame pieces and a bandsaw for the back of the plywood where it's scribed into the uneven wall, but you could use a hand coping saw for that just as well.

Diall 8mm universal wall plugs, 7 per shelf (3 on the back and 2 each side)

(The framework doesn't span the whole way cos I was trying to save money and just use one piece of lumber per shelf, probs a false economy)

Good luck!
