The hydrangeas are just now coming out in full bloom in upstate SC.

In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.

I planted my first ever hydrangea yesterday. Don’t know what the PH of my soil is, so I won’t know if they will be blue, purple, or pink. We’ll found out later this year.

My wife planted a couple rusty nails under some blue ones and the flowers are now purple. Very cool.
I did my back room of our house when I was near death + I had JUST done a floor tear-up and then put down new 1/4" luan(sp?) plywood and new linoleum, one new toilet in my neighbor's master bath and new faucets in every place that had old ones. I thought I was going to just fall over on either floor remodel.
I want to tell you to go ahead and try finishing that closet but you know your limits.
You did a lot more than most could ever do!
Congrats on a job well done!
I know about the back tightening up. Takes a day or three to loosen up.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
I found this a little funny. Music Direct uses "NHT" Now Hear This and thier ad does not feature a single NHT model. Just a little chuckle.
Yeah, that kind of stuck in my craw, too!
On the bright side, Ken Kantor has a pretty active presence at Flikr (not too much hifi, but some nice images).

I have 2 pairs of NHT's he designed. VT2's and VT3's. Wonder what happened to him on AK. Hasn't been around in a long time.

The salmon colored shelves were built when I lived in Baltimore. The black ones are from Ikea, we added metal feet and a masonite back. Here are some early photos when we first moved here showing the transplant shelves after we repainted them.

My wife photoshopped a representation of what everything might look like. We ended needing two more of the Ikea shelves to fit the records. Plus several other record shelves that we also brought from Baltimore.

So, viral plagues, recession and other goings-on are nothin' -- here's real evidence that humankind's days are numbered...
Thanks Mark!
I'll stick it on the shelf, next to my Grimiore.
Between these two & waving chicken bones, I may get this Dual to behave.
I dont ever want to do this again.
Knee pads are a must. Cheap and so nice for the knees comfort.
Yes I did. Finished the 1/4 round trim today. All done with clean up and about to move furniture back in.
After a ice cold beer and and hour in the pool of course.
You did a great job!
