This has been driving me crazy all night. I have a new samsung BD-P1500 connected to my old pioneer elite 35TX receiver via optical. On blue ray and on DVD media, if I hit the audio button on the blueray player it displays DD5.1 or DTS5.1, however my receiver won't click out of pro logic. If I...

Mine isn't used any longer and I hate to throw out working equipment if someone can use it. The serial cable is around somewhere, I'm still looking for it. How about 20 bucks + shipping w/o the cable? If I find it I'll toss it in.

Seems like the ones in mine are. Today I found 75 or 100 2-3" rocks in my front yard that they decided should be thrown there after the last snow storm, I wondered why I had all kinds of holes in the snow. Last time one of them ran his bike into my car leaving a nice gash that surprisingly no...

curious how your employer handles the taxes on the commission if you're base + comm.

Here's a bid I got: install 2 new sprinkler zones for the back yard, and run the drip line to the back of the yard so I can plant vines in the fence and keep them watered - 640 Install 165' of french drain, 4 tons of pea gravel my back yard is a muddy swamp, this is a MUST - 792...

I ordered an AV3/s kit along with prebuilt cabinet, and in the past couple weeks waiting for the cabinet to arrive decided to go a different route that will match my DIY mains a little closer. It'd be nice to recoup the costs on this speaker, I'll finish building and test it, I had planned to...

Happened to wander by because I'd been considering one for the bedroom, they're on sale for 99.99 with free shipping if anyone else was kicking it around.

It's time to replace the crap vinyl that came with the house (it was free, too $$ to upgrade the flooring with the builder) so with 2 dogs it's probably going to be pergo, but the cabinets are a bit of an off color and I'm having a hard time finding something. darker than the cabinets won't...

I've had my sod down for oh, about 2 months now. It's nice and green, it seems to have rooted nicely and there's no sign of the sod lines anymore. I've been using a new seed/sod fertilizer, and it REALLY greens it up for about a week, I get a good growth spurt, then the next week it's like...

I thought I read someone here mention it means something is wrong with the wiring, but I'll be damn if I can find it again. Anyone know or remember?

Ok, just want to make sure I'm not being unreasonable, maybe I am who knows. simple, my front yard is dirt, and the neighbors are allowing their kids to play in the dirt, well, MY dirt on my property. I don't like it, and don't like them that close to my driveway where they can leave toys or...

or a search engine to find it? heard the song on the radio and it's been driving me crazy, not a metallica fan.. but i've heard it recently in a movie I watch a lot but can't freaking find it. They fade out the part where he's saying master over and over, anyone happen to recall?

So 2 weeks into my new place and I'm gearing up to piss off the new neighbor already :emoji_thumbsup: The day I closed I was working on the garage and the lady next door dropped by to BS and was talking about getting a fence built and blah blah I wasn't really paying attention because I was...

I picked up some shelving materials and screwed it all on, but on second thought I didn't find the studs and simply screwed the vertical support rails into the 1/2" chipboard they used along the back of the garage. I'm sure the 2" screws I used penetrated all the way through this chip board, but...

my 1 week old house keeps blowing bulbs in one of the recessed lights, the first one lasted about a day, I got a new one today and it lasted like 4 hours and popped. Is it dumb luck, or do you suppose I need to get the electricians back to check it out? the damn bulbs are almost five bucks...

Thinking about it and was wondering how you handled the trim work, I know they sell quarter round, but I'm not sure how to handle doorways, and around kitchen cabinets.

I'm looking for some ideas to organize my garage after I move. What type of shelving do you use? Currently I've put up some boards with metal L brackets from home depot, and they work OK but I don't feel they really maximize the space available. I was thinking of some sort of gorilla shelf...

I keep going back and forth on this, in my new house I'll have to run wires to my speakers, I can either cut the wall, put in old work boxes and terminal plates, and run the wires up the wall, through the top plate, through the attic, and back down, or I can get a fish tape and try to fish them...

Picked this up used for my bedroom, everything seems to work perfectly, except for dolby digital mode. I've got decoding mode set to auto (of PCM, auto, and DTS, it clicks into DTS just fine when a DTS disc is played) Whan I play a dolby 5.1 disc through the digital coaxial input, I can't...

None of the major news sources are carrying it yet http://www.comedycentral.com/standup...ch_hedberg.xml

So, the house that is still being built and I won't close on until early may.... I noticed one of the other houses had a nice walk in shower in place of a tub in the master, I wish I had considered this (I really didn't even know it was an option) so, I'm thinking it wouldn't be so bad to get...

Once I move I'll need to do my backyard, it's not big, and I don't want anything fancy, but neither of us is really good at coming up with ideas, or executing them either but that's another thread. So I was wondering if anyone has used some sort of landscape designer, what it cost, how it...

Not a lot of info in a search, I'm trying to decide betweent he GR A/V-1 and the kit51. guess it's so short it's hard to search for.

I'm trying to decide where to put the surrounds in a new house, and I'm not sure what I should do. The floorplan shows where the monitor and seating will be, but I'm undecided about the surrounds, I can put both on that back wall, either side of the loveseat, or I can put one on that wall, and...

they did the drywall this week, and in one of the bathrooms (spare) they used the green aquaboard all around the tub and behind the sink... in the master bath, they only used the green aqua board above the shower on the end with the shower head, the other 2 sides above the tub surround it's...

so we have a dyson thread, how about a roomba thread? the new place is one story, no stairs, so I'm considering one of the self charging discovery models to wander around and clean the place... but don't know if they're worth 200 bucks or not.

man this dog is killing me :angry: aside from the little behavior quirks which people seem to think she'll grow out of... she seems to have some urinary problems, like she pees, a lot, and often. Like every 30 minutes she rings the bell to go out, and it seems like when she has to go it's...

I tried one of those automated machine things at walmart, and the lower of the two pressures was like 110 :eek: anyone know how accurate these things are?

I've had a lot of dogs in my life, but none as difficult as this one :angry: My pup, about 7 months old just refuses to learn. Most annoying is her habit of jumping up on the counters and grabbing things... not just the counters, the desks, the tables, anything. If it's paper she brings it to...

This might be kind of long... but here goes. I stopped by my mudpit-to-be-house today to find they've laid out the forms for the foundation, YAY. Now I'm pondering my fencing options. I want to erect (heh heh, he said erect /butthead) a typical 8 foot cedar privacy fence to keep my puppies in...
