Step 8House the project
....what?? you're asking me, the guy who had to add an extra jiffy box because he misjudged the size of the project and got a box that was too small!
Just a couple of notes here, make sure whatever you do that there is no chance that any of the mains power will ever in any way come into contact with any other wires. For me this involved having the mains veraboard as far away as possible within the project housing and to tie up all the wiring, and a dash of hot glue here and there to hold down the wiring. Basically keep it neat and tidy.
For the front panel I made a stencil of the LCD/Keypad shield of the arduino and drilled/cut to get the front panel to fit, and then with some nuts and bolts bolted on the keypad shield onto the front. You can also see that I drilled holes for the buttons.
