This series is all about Mechanical Keyboards, talking from switches, caps, DIY kits, hand-wired, cases, plates and more. If its about Mechanical Keyboards, we'll probably talk about it! As a sub-series is also the Mech Market Report, a weekly look at prices from the second-hand market on the MechMarket subreddit.

Valley Pacific Mechanical - Plumbing, Heating & Gas
We’re an experienced team with over thirty 30+ years of combined experience in mechanical new installations, servicing, maintenance, and design-build applications. We specialize in residential, commercial, industrial heating, boilers, gas fitting and plumbing new installs and projects of all sizes.
When talking about the built environment, we would do well to remember, "We shape our buildings, and afterwards, our buildings shape us." Therefore, on each episode, we'll discuss the latest trends from IAPMO in plumbing and mechanical safety, sustainability, and resiliency. Join me, your host Christoph Lohr, and together, we'll explore the ways we can make our buildings shape us for the better.
