Kind of.

Making something out of UL registered components (UR) does not make it UL approved, but makes approval much easier and quicker. You could make a Spinning Knife Electrocuting Machine of Death (TM) out of all UL registered components - UL may still choose to not certify it (their loss).

CE is different from UL. CE is the pirates code - more like guidelines. A manufacturer can self certify their product CE. No one has to verify it, but the manufacturer is potentially liable if there is an issue. I

Find the studs and screw into them through the drywall w long wood screws. Lots of YouTube vids will show techniques to find studs. Once the shelf is in place it will be treated like any other solid piece of furniture, so IMO just using drywall anchors is insufficient. Unless you want to hang a sign off it saying “please be careful this is only secured to drywall” 😆

As an electrician, I guarantee that I can build an outlet box with greater safety standards than half the shit you can buy on Amazon.

And those are often cheap pieces of garbage. At least this way you can ensure some amount of quality if you know what you're doing.

What you describe is a drop outlet and it exists/is for sale commercially

Molly bolt

Recently installed some of these. Went very smoothly

I believe you're talking about toggle bolts?

can hold load

What you have on you wall is concrete board many brands make it hardi-board or dura rock ect which you can skim coat with concrete (mix to the consistency of drywall mud) to make it smooth. Or you can go right overtop with drywall and construction adhesive.

I cut an old bicycle rim in quarters

Isn't UL approved like CE approval in that if you only use approved parts then the end product is OK as well?

Just an idea put back the devices you replaced and see if it goes back to working correctly

Safety smafety

What is scope creep?? I’m lost

Pulled paneling off in a breezeway/and the garage to find electric lines not counter sunk behind studs. Didn’t have to but felt compelled in case my kids take the house and because I’m likely to “forget” where the lines are behind drywall! Had to upgrade the flooring because it was carpet that coming loose and would be a terrible idea in a gym/shop floor for everyone to trip with power tools and weights on the shoulders. These are things we didn’t think of till after we started. And since this is are first seems like don’t think about that stuff till after we’ve already dug in and done reconstruction. Our next big project is a remodel of an old bathroom in the basement. Wish us luck!😂😂

If your going to make these in the future you really need to use a gfci outlet usb combo but kudos for the innovative gift

Values all work, all new rads have had new valves fitted.

Used squeeze offs on the plastic pipe so didn't lose much water at all when fitting.

Is this post UL approved?

I’m in construction and especially for small projects like this an impact works great. If there’s a neighbor or friend with an impact they can borrow to drill four holes in brick or concrete it doesn’t take but a few minutes to do. If you need to drill hundreds of holes, definitely go buy a quality hammer drill or root hammer. Depending on the hardness of concrete, or if there’s rebar involved, yes, you should get the heavier duty drill.

You can get high load drywall anchors in metal which fold out like an umbrella on the backside of the drywall. If the drywall is thick enough they can hold a lot of weight.

I like the idea but hate those outlets. If you need to use a USB port; you almost always needs to unplug one or both of the regular plugs to do it.

And the cost is insane.
Rather one of these: better design; cheaper, UL listed, with surge protection built in

I got nerve damage in my hand from drilling a concrete floor with a hammer drill. It took months to heal. The next time I had to drill concrete, I got a rotary hammer. The job was so much faster and easier and no nerve damage.
