Duct tape will lose its stick over time and come off.
Try a hot glue gun, or construction adhesive that comes in a tube you put in a caulking gun. Cut a really small hole so you can run a really thin bead. You could probably even use regular painters caulk or a silicone caulk, those should work fine as a glue since the amount of weight is almost zero.
I hope he spends money on REALLY GOOD internet service!!
Lights like a bordelo
Mr. B says: Gorilla glue! He loves that stuff. I hate cleanup after his gorilling with a passion. That stuff sticks to anything. Better living through chemistry. B-)
Yeah, H has used Gorilla glue to repair holes in a redwood fence and glue in dowel pieces.
No, gorilla glue expands if not clamped into submission, and if the strips aren’t flat it will show.
They go under counter. No one will see the strips. Just the blinking lights. 
I would hate to cook in that kitchen!!! We do have an over the island hood with LED lights around the edge. Came with the hood so no remotes or special install needed. Is it cool? Yup. Is it something I can live without? Yup. Would I install an undercounter LEDs? Nope.
Forget the Sputnik light, go with lava lamps throughout this '70s esque bordelo
I wonder how he missed this hood (which is what Mr. installed in our kitchen):

(Edited - this is the island version)
He bought a round hood. He missed out on that blue LED light hood!!
It is not just blue lights… they can be set to change colors! Daaang. He definitely missed out! And that hood, as you can see, is not cheap. 
Right up his alley!!!
But it is super silent and is perfectly matched to our stove. Those were two biggies why we went with $$$.
Oh gosh, I’d love a silent hood. Ours makes noise like you wouldn’t believe. If I’m watching TV while I use it, I have to turn the TV waaaaaay up.
$3900 for a hood??? Holy moly.
I guess you’re notrichenough.
Well, I think yesterday’s issue we found beats anything that has happened to date. The owner finally purchased the wall mount button plate that flushes the wall toilet in the main floor bathroom. My carpenter goes to install it and sees a small drip of water coming out of the drywall. Guess what!!! Even though we had a thorough discussion with the drywall lead about the wall toilet systems i n the wall, some IDIOT put a drywall screw through the plastic water tank in the expensive system. We are livid!!! Did not find it until we tried to fill the toilet for the first time. Could’ve figured this out a long time ago if we had the part needed to finish installing the toilet system.
So… first thought is we are going to have to pull out the water tank and put in a new one. Get on the phone to Gerberit technical support and Nope… water tank is fused into the surrounding metal support system. Cannot replace tank. So, we open up all the drywall and investigate. It is just a pin hole in the tank. Spend an hour researching the internet and plumbers recommend several plastic weld patching products. I bought a bucket made out of the same thick plastic and bought 3 different types of plastic weld epoxy stuff. We did an experiment with all 3 products on the bucket and had to wait to make sure they hold up for 2 days watching the bucket. All of the products worked but we chose the gnarliest epoxy mix stuff to repair the tank. We now have it on the tank and are checking to see if it holds for many days before we can close up the wall again and test the toilet.
Definitely called the drywall guy and laid into him. I am forcing him to send his crew back to do all the drywall repairs (and more that we have around the house!) Here’s a link to the tank system so you can see what we are dealing with
Oh man… that would have been a very expensive boo boo!! Glad that you were able to fix it.
We had a similar issue with a siding nail shot through electric wire… luckily the wire was disconnected, and only when Mr. tried to revive the outlet he discovered (using his in-wall cam) that there was a nail shot through part of it.
Maybe his 20 yr old GFs will have fun playing with the lights. The fireplace and shower, of course. I doubt they are going to be doing anything in the kitchen. B-)
ETA: Catching up on the last few pages of posts has given me a headache!
We will have a virtual champagne toast when you finish with this redo. This guy is seriously a nut.
How much has he spent on ridiculous, extraneous, and unneeded things?
I do not know how much he is spending on most of the stuff because he buys it and it gets delivered. I never see any prices or invoices. For him, that’s a mistake because I keep very detailed records for my clients and submit weekly accounting spreadsheets with all receipts attached. So, the spreadsheets are not accurately reflecting the costs, his receipts are all over who knows where and he has ended up with a pile of stuff in the garage which he is going to have to return himself because I don’t know where it came from and don’t have any receipts to use to return
He is an idiot. Most stuff has very limited return window so he is probably SOL with some returns already (that’s why I like HD with their generous return policy on most in store stuf…)
