Good news Shelly!
I spent the day with my Cousin. She and I always have a good time. She's been helping me with a big decision, and today it all started to feel real.
Great day!
I do not miss cassette tapes. I would buy the highest quality Nakamichi metal tapes, and store them well. Even so, in a few years I'd notice dropouts. $1000.00 Nakamichi three head deck and $12.00 blank tapes (a lot of doe back then), and still such a limited shelf life.
Looks like an average day for me.
A couple of things in Mikey's favor are the sheet vinyl and cove base. Much easier to remove than tile.
My guess, from the picture, is that patching the floor sub-floor will be all that's necessary. I imagine the floor joists are OK?
Let me know if I can help in any way Mikey!
I heard that the Pono Team is planning on using Yoko Ono as their first release. Pono Ono should be amazing. Then the next album scheduled is U2, so Pono Bono should be something to look forward to as well. After that they're going further back to do some 50's albums, and I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to Pono Mono. I certainly hope they'll consider applying this technology to vinyl. Pono Phono would be incredible!
