He said their 1080 installs start at 1800. I'd definitely look into buying your own and paying someone to install. Just don't hire an electrician.
Maybe I'm thinking of something different. I don't even really know what my furniture is to tell you the truth.
Here's a pic of what I'm working with- I had to hold most of the 4x4s in place while swimming / standing in mud- so it's far from perfect, will be a challenge getting it squared up, will have to put some cross braces underwater. I want to install some LED stip lights under the outside edge of the dock, then sink some LED / Fishing lights at the 2 far ends as finishing touches.
We have this and like it: http://www.havertys.com/furniture/amalfi-sectional Microfiber, feels high quality, has held up well. Stains clean easily with a damp cloth and/or resolve. We use a lint roller for dog hair. I'd recommend a darker color, but my wife insisted on the light cream color. It's surprising not been as difficult to keep looking nice as I thought. I like high-end leather, but this was a good compromise; I'm not at the point in my life where I can drop $8-10k on a sectional of that size.
This is what our kitchen is going to be similar to. We're doing dark shaker style cabinets with light colored granite. Wish that house was finished.
That looks like the Cindy Crawford metropolis. Spoiler We have it but in a different color from Raymour and Flanigan. Best couch we ever had. Talked my cousin into the same couch. 3 pieces make this so flexible. My only caution is every other week my wife rearranges the living room. http://m.roomstogo.com/product/Sect...-Metropolis-Espresso-3Pc-Sectional/1209165P/#
I got both of these brand new for $800 total. HH Greg has the absolute best prices for appliances. Home Depot, etc price match so at a minimum, start at HH gregg. We got an absolute steal of a deal. The day after we bought them, hh gregg started a 'no haggle' policy and also jacked the prices up.
it is indeed the cindy crawford collection, we got that one and then a 3 piece set for the formal living room
This may be the wrong thread, but the new place has an outdoor tv and speakers. The wires run to the garage. Do I need a special av receiver to be able to survive the heat and cold in texas? Water won't get in, but it'll get well over 100 in the summer and under 20 in the winter.
If you don't want to deal with the mortar, I used this and it works really well. http://www.lowes.com/pd_555605-65158-555605-W_0__?productId=50141955 Peel, set, grout
I would just run it even with the underside of the cabinets all the way across. Good looking kitchen BTW.
electronics and 100+ degree heat with no circulation don't mix well. Is there a way you could re-route the home run to an air conditioned space? Regardless, as a staunch Sonos endorser, you should look at using Sonos
I wouldn't think you need anything special. I used an old receiver I had replaced to power my outdoor stuff. One of the things I am considering is upgrading it to a new one. The new receivers have apple AirPlay built in and being able to control the music from my iPhone is pretty attractive.
Could I use Sonos for two surround sound speakers? I am pretty frustrated I can't get wires to the back of my living room.
Without more details on your setup... yes you can use two of the Play 1's for surround sound but they still require power and I believe you need the Sonos soundbar as well
Would you go across the sink and onto that little space of wall also? .... I think so To the right of the stove the wall goes into a corner then comes back up 5 feet or so and runs into the fridge, I'm not sure I'd want to do that area? I have a TV in the corner so it'd be a way to hide the break from backsplash to wall, or just do all back splash around in there.
You could, I didn't on mind and just blocked it off but either way would look good. I will take a picture of mine this evening and show you how I did it to give you a better idea. Can you take a pic of the fridge area, too?
Its probably more expensive than regular ol trowel on mastic, so you probably wont find many contractors thatwill even try it
I did this myself two years ago and can assure you it is a pain in the ass. These were stick built cabinets from the 50's or 60's, so built better than most anything you could buy today, but still... The only easy part was changing cabinet/drawer handles and pulls. Otherwise, caulking that shit, prepping, and painting was a huge pain. In addition, you need to do at least 3 coats. I did 2, and while it's holding up OK, I think I'll need to do the fascias again in 5-10 years.
Did our walk through before closing yesterday. Apparently the sellers didn't cap the washer when they left, so water leaked into the living room. The hardwoods and 2 walls are destroyed.
And that is why you do walk-throughs before you close. Look at the bright side. New hardwood floors! When we did our walk-through there was a patch of carpet missing in one room because they removed a built-in unit that had been carpeted around. When we looked at the house they had a piece of furniture over it we never saw it. There was no disclosure. Our real estate agent called their agent and they cut a check for us for about 25% of the cost to recarpet the room. We have since covered it with our own furniture rather than recarpetting.
We got them to pay us 4500 for it. Not sure it will cover everything, but it's a small space. We were in a tough spot, since we scheduled movers for today and we have to be out of our current place in a couple of weeks.
Should I not be a cheap skate and have an inspector do his thing on my brand new townhome? Everything is covered for the first year and nearly everything is covered for the 5 years after. 10 years for structural.
