Mike, I didn't do any research before my purchase. When we had a bad experience at Pool and Spa we went right over to Watson's and got great service and bought the pool right away. I also did not know any better about pumps and filter so when they told me bigger is better I took it hook, line...

venusflyer, When we bought our pool, the pool and spa depot in Cookeville did not exist yet, but I have been there to get pool parts a few times. I have butted heads a few times with the manager (he is a cool and knowledgeable guy from England) over the BBB way of life because they are a Baq...

Hey Venusflyer..I am right up the road from you in Gordonsville. I have a 24'x52" round pool that I bought at Watsons. I was pretty happy with the install, I had a few leaks around the skimmer and returns and they had someone out the next day taking care of it. That was 7 years ago and my...

Well our gig went fairly well last night. The sound mix on stage was pretty bad, but sounded good out front. I spent alot of energy trying to hear what was being played rather than hearing well and concentrate on playing. We were the 2nd of 3 bands playing on this small stage and the...

sevver, Congrats on your first successful gig!! I remember my first gig. I was brand new at drum playing and bought a cheap set of Pearl drums. With these drums I also got a cheap drum throne (seat). Before playing that night a rather large man was helping me tune my drums. We played for a...

If you have a reputable pawn shop in your area you may check with them. I just bought a nice pioneer receiver with 5 surround sound speakers for $50. I already had some KLH indoor/outdoor speakers so I just mounted them to the side of the house, and for a music source I have dish network so I...

haze, LOL!! That is funny!! They run off of a wall wart power pack or you can put batteries in them. I had them plugged in with the wall wart......BUT... Now neither speaker is working!! I don't know if it is the transmitter or the speaker. The one that didn't die in the pool incident is...

Thanks Dave, I think I got the water out of it (I still haven't figured out how to get it apart) so I took a hair dryer and blew it in any of the openings I could find and it tried to come on for just a second then quit again. I don't have access to a drying oven, we have one at work we keep...

After bragging on my new Acoustic Research AW871 yesterday in another thread my wife calls me at work and told me a big gust of wind came up, broke the umbrella, knocking the table over, sending one of the speakers right into the pool!! :x I just got these things 3 days ago!!! :shock...

I just bought a pair of the Acoustic Research AW871 wireless speakers and am pretty impressed with them so far. It takes them a minute to find the signal, but once they do they sound good. I think they are 10 watts each which is plenty loud for my deck. I bought them off of ebay for a total...

I wouldn't have a problem with going with any of the colors in a powder coat, it tends to coat better. I know from where I work we only do wet paint, and black, unless it is a low gloss, is a very hard color to cover up any problems with the extrusions. Our hunter green stuff usually looks...

Godiva, I was reading in my post that your husband is the church drummer and you and your kids are musicians as well. That's fantastic! I wish my family was interested in playing instruments, but they would rather just play. I understand what your husband is going through at church with the...

I ran a projector setup before the plasma. I had one of the early panasonic pt-ae100 wide screen projector on a 100" screen but only around 700 lumens and in a fairly light room it was all but washed out in the daylight even with super thick curtains and all. I also got bad advice on screen...

WOW! What an awesome setup!! I was just curious what that projector runs and pulled one up on ebay at the tune of $7000!! I can see why you love your HDTV!! How about sound? You have to have a very nice sound system to compliment your video..... JD

Hey there lovinghdtv, Just wondering what kind of HDTV set up you have..I have to say I love my HDTV too. I have a 50" Philips plasma with a Dish network 811 hd receiver, and a small rca silver sensor for my OTA channels. I can get all of our local channels OTA with the exception of PBS and...
