The people doing the work are professionals. I just write the checks. I will mention this to them, however.

I'm replacing both doors on my house, and repairing the mud sill on the south side. The problem is that there is a concrete patio in front of it, which is the roof to a bomb shelter (yay cold war era houses!) The patio is not graded properly, and water collects between it and the house. In order to fix this, we have to jack up the house a couple inches. The concrete is for footers, and the lag bolts are to attach huge steel beams to the side of the house. This job keeps expanding in scope as we find out more about how the house was built. I just learned that the original front door is framed incorrectly, and there isn't room for the new one to be hung correctly without serious modifications to the entryway. I also have to clear off a 20 foot section of wall space in the basement. All of my lighting equipment happens to be in that spot.

Two Brosco exterior doors ($550 each new), got the pair for $400 27 lag bolts + washers 3 12' sprice 2x6s 880 lbs of concrete 30 feet of rebar a bunch of other small items too trivial to list 70+ man-hours of labor (so far) -- why I won't be spending any money on audio in the foreseeable future

SERIOUSLY DUDE WHAT THE FUCK? Not remotely safe for work. Possibly not safe for home. Definitely not safe for cake.

I work with lasers that have a comparatively tiny output (5-50mw) and I carry a pair of 532nm safety glasses in my kit. I make it a point to never scan the crowd with anything above 15mw (scanning) and keep all static beams 5 feet above the audience (DJs are scum and should know better.) I don't normally have to wear the goggles (they look like funky yellow shades), but they are there if I need them. I'm already blind in one eye, so why fuck around?

Next thing you're going to tell me someone else designs your amps. ... I'll get my coat.

That Justin is one multi-talented fella.

x2. I like it.

I paid entirely too much for this disc, after nearly seven years of searching.

I suspect I will get pelted for this, but the guy who sold me my GLite + DPS owned an R10 (US version, I believe) and said that combination worked very well together. He also said he preferred the HD-650 to the R10, out any amp, so take it as you will. IIRC, the R10s are pretty low impedance cans, and the GLite has minimal output impedance. He initially offered to sell me the R10 (for $2500, IIRC) but ultimately ended up selling it to his former girlfriend. I'm not sorry I didn't get the R10, but I wish I'd taken a stab at some of his C-J gear.
