When I built my house, I took a Matterport scan before the drywall was put in, and again after. Best decision I ever made. It's like X-ray vision for walls.

It's handy to know where wiring runs are, how many studs are between windows when mounting tv's, and a dozen other electrical, ac, or plumbing issues. I used it once a week initially and probably once every two months now that we're settled.

Also recommend a Dymo Rhino 5200 cable label maker with heat shrink tubing. I print the label on some heat shrink, attach it to a wire, and never wonder where anything goes again. Great for vehicle wiring harnesses too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LcUQeTzIo4&t=66s But I'd recommend the 5200: https://www.amazon.com/DYMO-Industrial-RHINO-Label-1755749/d... - non-affiliate link.




When you post an affiliate link it would be nice if you stated so.

This has the affiliate tag of: pmg097-20

Without any affiliate link it is: https://www.amazon.com/DYMO-Authentic-Industrial-RhinoPro-18...


Sorry, here's the source on the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LcUQeTzIo4


Interesting - why do you say it would be nice if the posted stated that it was an affiliate link? Do you feel it takes away an option from you or reduces the link's value?


It reduces the link value to me since now the poster is financially motivated to post it. So do I trust that it really is a good product or is the poster just posting an affiliate link so that they can earn money or is it somewhere in-between.


You appear to be linking to heat shrink tubing for the printer, rather than the printer itself.
