I once bought (on big sale) and dragged in to my shop a 300 lb. planer jointer---alone, 'cause no one could get here fast enough to help before I would have been busted. I can see why the sub in living room wouldn't have qualified for that method.

Oh, and as for asking here for your specific advice; If any of the guys who hang around here know better than you do how to please your wife, I'd be extremely suspicious ;-)

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
