since our hous was damaged, today the last piece of carpet gets put down and we no longer have to share our house with reno guys.

I can't wait to set up my system again. The carpet "layers" if we can call them that will be running 14awg under the base boards before stuffing the carpet in to the rears....yipee we had 18awg can't wait to see if it'll make a difference.
No more dust going into my gear I'd clean and 1hr later I could run my finger on the gear and leave a clean mark...damn dust !!

we will be changing the locks on the front door ...sorry about going on to some may seem like nothing but we will finally have our house back to ourselves. we have owned it for 6 months but only been able to enjoy for the first three.....

    I dont know what they did or why there is so much dust, but if it sheatrock dust of any kind what-so-ever

    Expect to see that for a year, if not more...

    Its been 10 months and I STILL get quite a bit of sheatrock dust...

    Wood dust isnt as bad as sheatrock but still sticks around quite some time...

    Congrats on getting ur house back! What happened to it?

    that's a long time.. 3 months with out your own house.. sorry to hear that. I never imagined it would take that long.

    What do you upstairs neighbor have to say? THey they ever appoligize for the huge problem they caused?

    Can you get them evicted.. so that doesn't happen again?

    well we clenaed like I never cleaned before, all windows screens trim baseboards have all been cleaned. the only dust we have is the new carpet fibres. I am so happy to be able to walk through the house and not have to wear shoes !!

    the fish well the didn't inhale any dust...and never will they are stuffed and mounted now :D just kidding

    the neighb. came down after 2 months and said Im sorry you can use my kitchen if you want. In my head I thought you A$$ our kitchen is done now I don't need your help now...maybe 2 months back when you saw us cooking spagetti on the BBQ you could of offered your damn kitchen..


    But the system sounds better now the upgrade to 14awg for the rears..WOW my wife even said it sounds better....and the cables are tucked under the base boards...looks clean

    Man, what happened to your house? I never heard about it. Sounds pretty bad, though. Glad you've got it back.

    The upstaires (we live in garden homes) neighbour's aquarium leaked about 10 of it's 100 gallons and destroyed our kitchen. this took about 2 moths to complete about 1 week before it was completed we got the tail end of that hurricane and it wrecked over 13K worth of construction. the fish tank caused 7K so for the past 3 months we have ad contractors in and out....and a grand total of damage of 20K..... thank god condo insurance paid for it all !!
