I would have to call BS on that one. Be persistent with your builder. Why wouldn't he want you to be happy? Surely he's not going to miss that much $$ if you pull your own wires.

The furnace and water heater are on my basement level (a walk-out basement) in their own room with a proper drain. The sub-basement (where I'd like to put the HT) is 1/2 flight below that. Because of the way the house is laid out, the sub-basement is not any farther below ground than a typical...

So, I bought a California Split with an unfinished sub-basement (aka HT). Anyway, the sub-basement has a drain in the middle. I want to finish the room as and HT, but what do I do about the drain (and the fact that the floor sinks in around it)? It wouldn't bother me (I guess) if the...

one question How can Network Administration be shipped overseas when the network is physically in the US? It seems to me, that it would be foolish to totally give up IT while we are still in an economic "funk". That said, if you can't find one in IT, you have to have a job in something!

On this cool site, called Google :wink:, I searched for "curved stage construction" (Google) On the first page of results I found this(tedwhite.homestead.com). It's a pretty good description of the stage. Images can be found here.

They are Berkline's. I'm guessing it's the same fabric. The dealer must have just been calling it something else.

Is the micro fiber the same stuff they call "NuSuede"? I saw some with what the dealer called "NuSuede"...I liked it better than the Leather (esp. b/c of the cost!). Thanks for the input.

I'm not an expert, but I believe the low frequencies will not be greatly affected by carpet. Carpet vs. Hardwood makes less of a difference than Subfloor vs. Concrete slab (I think).

I ask, because I am looking at building a theater 13x19. I think the seats you have are the same model and configuration that I want to put in my theater. In my configuration, the seats will be centered so that the left and right side have the same traffic space. I wonder, do you think...

Very nice!! What are the dimensions of your room?

I'm not telling you to do this with your phone! @ work, we had a guy spill grapefruit juice all over his laptop. Anyway, a couple of weeks later, it was opened & soaked in rubbing alcohol. Then, the alcohol was drained & the computer was left to dry. When complete, the system ran! As far...

I, too, couldn't believe that they didn't obviously say, "scratch here for your code". In fact, I ended up calling TS & felt like a dumb-ass when they told me to scratch the foil like a lottery ticket. Anyone with Microsoft experience would have expected the key to be printed on top of the...

I believe XBox is a Windows based system. Can you give it a 3 finger salute? Try rebooting? :)

If your ISP only allows you to use 1 MAC address, you can buy a router that will spoof the MAC address. I have a Netgear RP114 that can do it.
