Blast from 2024 - New Server Rack

Here is another Blast from the Past - part of the damage to the flooding (see previous post) happened in the garage so drywall and 1 cabinet needed to be fixed. After the drywall was done, I tackled the cabinet.

A few years ago, I took down a bunch of sad shelving in the garage (made with 2x4, 2x6 scraps over the years) and put in built ins. Unfortunately, I never took pictures. It was impressive in that I have never had to buy 2 large piles of plywood before. My estimation on what I would need was very close and I didn't have any extra full sheets. Good on me!

This cabinet was replacing one which had the worst damage from the leaks. I decided to design it to hold our server and network components in a proper rack. I have wired our house to have ethernet to nearly every possible location so that's why there will be so many wires.

I did make sure the replacement pipes, fixing the busted pipe, were insulated and had working shut off valves which I shut off before winter starts every year.
