    HGTV Teaching Bad Practices

    Another one I forgot to mention, the other night they were of course taking out a wall in an older home. Pretty sure the plan was to refinish the original hardwood floors. Once they knocked a hole in the wall, they literally threw the 12lb. sledge through the wall and it landed on the floor...

    HGTV Teaching Bad Practices

    I watch most of these show regularly because that's what she likes to watch. I actually enjoy making fun of all the inaccuracies and dumb comments from the "homeowners". The worst one to date, we watched last night: Flipping Virgins. The couple had absolutely no idea what they were doing...

    What do you use for sound in your garage/shop

    Purple hue at center of flourescent

    I added some more lights in the garage this past weekend and did the same thing. Let them fun for a while and the purple went away. I gave up on local radio a long time ago. Best method we've found for reception (I'm in the residential A/V business) is a piece of cable coax to the house attic...

    Entertainment wiring help please

    Here's a simple breakdown: Satellite: RG6 wire. Will need to run to satellite receiver. Depending on what kind of TV you are putting in the garage depends on what goes from the SAT box to TV. Most likely HDMI cable if its HD. Speaker Wire: 16/2 speaker wire will work for each speaker. 16/4...
