that is pretty slick.

what are you controlling with your android app that feeds your receiver, out of curiosity? :thumbup:

Here's what I'd think the minimum starter set would look like for starter homeowner: 6' ladder (often on sale at home depot, etc.) 2' level with ruler markings, plastic (same) budget 1/4" socket set (like the $10 kobalt set) philips and flat screwdriver small set (HF(the decent ones, not the...
