Well guys I live there.

We are going to sleep there tonight.So many boxes I'm gonna lose my mind.Man I can't believe how much stuff we have.It just doesn't end.

Cleaning up after the builders cleaners looks like an easy task.They did a pretty good job.My wife doesn't think so but hell everything is brand new,just dust here and there.

I'ts late and I'm at the old hoouse where I have my fax,phones and Comcast high speed still working so I left the desk top hooked up here.I won't have service over there untill the 14th........o that sucks.But hell I got service here until then so it's cool I guess.

We have so many things to do.I have to hang up the HDTV dish,trim out the rest of my plates,install all the speakers and unpack.........man and to think I have to go back to work tomarrow is painful.I had of last week up untill today.Got a ton done but man moving just sucks.My back even hurts.......O waaa.

Pic's to come once I find the damn digital camera.

    good deal, Dan! get the gears setup first so you have music to entertain you and the family during unpacking...blast off everything must go by Steely! :)
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    I feal your pain and DO I have a story for you.

    After all the furniture was in place it was time to empty the large number of plastic tub's in the garage. The wife put a serious dent in the full tubs so now they are stacked in groups of about five. What am I supposed to do with ALL the plastic tub's? (I'm asking myself...)

    After we gave tubs ta friends and finally new neighbors, I asked the wife how much we payed for the tubs???... When her reply was 8 bucks a tub I nearly **** in the street!

    WTF is that about??? she could have at least sold them on ebay??? GIVE THEM AWAY when I need cash for Tubes!

    A todler trashing HT speakers and a wife giving money away at a rate of 40 bucks a clipp? ****, I figure I CAN'T WIN but I'll never trade them in.

    I love my family

    Twin:p

    Congrats Dan. I just moved last week myself. I also wondered when the hell I got all this stuff. I've got a left front and a center hooked up so far. ;)

    Congrats Dan. Moving sucks plain and simple. We moved into our townhouse at the end of July and it seemed like the boxes never ended. Once your settled in it will have all been worth it.

    Thanks guys......

    It's been very tuff.Madmax the new house isTechnically 1.5 years old(took all that to build,and waited another year to start building)).7 days to us so yeah it's time to get it out and get a new one.......LOL\

    Pic's are coming I found the box where they are but there about 4 rows back........

    Man I used the jucuzzi for the first time last night after a long day and man it's now worth all the effin money we spent on it.Very cool.

    Basically as soon as we are fully moved in and no leaks...I'm getting started on the theater.For now the gear will stay packed but Tivo and Xbox.Sad as I'm dying to just sit down to some Steely Dan.

    polkatese,
    I prewired the entire house.Inwalla,Keypads,Via panels,Network,Phone,Dss and cable everywhere.Outdoor speakers.The Basement is unfinished and when we get it in construction,I will prewire the basement.The theater,office,playroom,familyroom and laundry room.More house music in the basement locations.I'm using Elan Z series system.Speakers are a mix of Polk inwalls and Niles.

    thought you were MIA, Dan! don't forget the backyard landscaping! ;) I hear you, moving it's a pain. Took us a good two years before we can say it's over, and still, it's not over...
