I've got issues with the ones who paint beautiful wood things black or whatever. Jackasses...

those shows bug me because it never fails that someone says something like "you can change pretty much anything, except whatever you do, DON'T paint the room brown!" And sure enough, before the "designer" even says it, you already know they are going to paint the room completely brown!

Now the episode of trading spaces where they had $100,000 was pretty darn cool, especially with all the free donated electronics equipment.

And my wife watches that Extreme Home Makeovers, or something like that with that Ty guy...that is pretty cool and they do some amazing work on some of those places.

I'll try to post an update on Monday. The floors are done (and look great!), the walls and ceiling are patched and painted, and I've been working today to get my StudioTech cabinet put together and get all my gear in it and wired up. I also hope to finish making my speaker cables this weekend. I've nearly finished, and then my hair drier blow out on me, so I've got one end of heat shrink that needs some heat, and then I'm done. They turned out quite nicely! I'll post pics of them in another thread.

Nice looking place spiff! I love the "Early Cardboard" decor puncutated by the distressed walls. Extra storage space opportunity???

On a serious note, great digs. What I am REALLY waiting for is a set of pictures showing a splendorific HT set-up.

Hmmm, I tried to Google your condo, but there are no results. So much for the housewarming gift!

I did post one pic of the tv/rack/speakers. Did you miss it?

I love newly refinished h/w floors. The most painful thing is the first time you drop something on it...or someone walks in the house w/ a rock stuck in their shoe...

Shoes come off at the door! Even before we had hardwood floors, shoes were a no-no.
