It will look even better when we get around to putting some of Adam's pictures on the walls.

Who's the giant in the orange shirt?  Beautiful children, Peter. And the speaker install looks first rate, too.

Everything(and everybody)is looking good, Peter, but watch those suggestive titles for your posts; BigJohn may be lurking.

Speaking of first-rate speaker installs, when I first sat down on my couch after I finished the installation the left speaker looked higher than the right speaker. I knew I had measured (and measured again) from the ground up and the ceiling down to be sure the brackets were at equal heights on the wall, but then I was second guessing whether I had ensured the brackets were at equal heights on the M22s. I had used intersecting diagonal lines drawn across the backs of the M22s to determine the midpoints -- maybe I made a mistake? So I measured from the ceiling down to the top of each speaker and discovered that they are well within 1/16" of each other. Whew!

I am happy to hear that I am not alone with the whole OCD thing...

But doesn't it bug you that they don't LOOK even....even if they measure well? Sure would bug me. I'd be starin' at it all the time. wow. too bad the install wasn't up to snuff.

Actually, once I had ensured that the speakers were, in fact, even, the illusion collapsed. Knowledge is power. I should really buy myself a laser level that sticks to the wall, though. I'm making do with a "construction orange" colored overly-long mason's level (the kind with three spirit bubbles in it -- one for horizontal and two for vertical).
