Hejsan! Jag är amerikan men bodde jag i Sverige några år sedan. Tack så mycket för dina råd. Det kan var lättare i Sverige för sådana saker, tror jag.

I mean I could just spray a hose up there, couldn’t I?

We had the roof replaced two years ago. I believe they redid all the flashing at that point. So there’s a chance this could be old? If the leak is resolved, which I’ll verify, do we have to do anything to the wood or are we good?

Oh interesting. I thought electrical tape was the only thing. I also like to do “code plus.” I’ll get some friction tape.

Yeah once the micro is plugged in this never gets touched. And it’s on its own circuit.

Thanks for the tips. That’s just what I’ll do. Do you think it’s important to mount it to the stud or will an old work box do?

Holy shit

It’s an IKEA cabinet with a melamine backing. I’m going to pull the micro and cabinet out and we’ll see what that shows us

Aha. Great question. Nope.
