Ricky's Audio Video Barn Build Project

[cbmmm3]

BTW, how are you making out with your Audio/Video dealer? Any progress in that department?

ironic that you ask Ralphie ----

On Wednesday this week I had a meeting with Dealer A. Dealer A is the one that had a pompous attitude and a problem 'finding' time to meet with me.
We actually had a really good meeting.
And then today, I drove 40 miles to meet with Dealer B ( Dealer B ghosted me previously. He called last week and apologized - family vacation, yada yada et cetera )
Meeting today was incredible.

Both have my 'road map'. I've asked for a Proposal from both.

It will be real interesting to see how this plays out.

I remember a meeting with my dealer some years ago. He said: flash your lights twice, honk your horn once. And there he was.

Maybe the knowledge base here in QQ could be 'Dealer C' - document what home theater equipment you want in your home theater setup here in QQ and possibly other QQ members could help enough with the installation configuration that a home theater installer wouldn't be needed.

I seriously considered this but looking at the overall project, its big, and not sure if there is enough time and ambition on my part to pull it off.
Here is the overall plan -
Serious Atmos system and Video Projection in barn
5.1 system in barn garage ( doing this one myself )
Video in 4 places in house with lower family room having in wall and in ceiling 5.1.2 Atmos lite system also
Structured Wiring and dedicated home network in barn and house
Install, Set Up and CALIBRATION of all the above
Service after the sale

And Im General Contracting the whole build project. Plus working my other day job ( for just a wee bit longer btw )

Lets see how Dealer A and Dealer B respond.

I remember as a kid that we would blow on the fuzzies and loved watching them spread all over the place. Then mom would pick them and make us eat the nasty bitter tasting leaves. Then I was rescued by Weed b Gon. LOL

Dandelions are the bane of my existence.

I try to dig mine up before that happens. Looks like you have an impossible job.

Easy to get rid of if you can get a hose out there. Just get a few Ortho Weed-Clear sprayers and you'll get rid of 90% of them on the first application. Of course that makes sense for a lawn around your house, for an open field it might not be practical.

Why can't the grass grow like this? No, it's all the stuff we don't want that grows. My problem is moss. It is also my solution because it is the only thing that will thrive in the shady places. Better to just go back inside and play Who's Next in Atmos.

those areas without shingles will get metal roofing. Note to the astute - we ran out of Ice and Water Shield. Yes those areas lacking it will get it
