Comment on If only the person who did this ceiling had their tools even half as well calibrated as I do
krashmo@lemmy.world 1 day agoWhat does the electrician need to get up there for? It looks to me like that is already done. I’m not saying you’re wrong just that I think caulk is the best you can do to finish it out from this point both in terms of finished look and ease of removal in the future. Of course it would be better if you had a square and plumb room to work with but that ship has long since sailed.

There’s some cheap LED lights installed under the cabinets, but they’re wired from above. There’s a hole on top of the cabinet that the wires run through, and they’re plugged into an outlet inside it. If I permanently enclose it, those lights become impossible to replace without destroying the caulking when they inevitably fail in a year or so. My reasoning with stuff like this is that it’s just a matter of time until someone needs to get behind there, and when that day comes they’ll be thankful it’s only held on by screws.
I work as a handyman and have to deal with so much inconsiderate craftsmanship from other people that I don’t want to add to it myself.

Ah, that makes sense. If only straight lines were the norm 😁
