    Hello from TN!

    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...

    Hello from TN!

    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...

    Hello from TN!

    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...

    Our gig

    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...

    Never played Guitar before

    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...

    Audio options?

    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...

    My poor wireless speaker

    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...

    My poor wireless speaker

    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...

    My poor wireless speaker

    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...

    Wireless Speakers

    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...

    Aluminum Fence for the pool

    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

    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...

    lovingHDTV

    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...

    lovingHDTV

    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...

    Sean, I would be honored to play drums on a theme song...Now if you want me to play guitar on it too...It would sound like Green Day cause all I can play is power chords!!! Kevin, Thanks for the kind words about Tennessee...I am originally from Newnan, Ga. but moved here in 1985 and haven't...

    drumr

    Matt...LOL!! I am a huge Rush fan. When practicing I always work several Rush songs into my regimen. I'm not even close to Neil Peart talent wise, (I'm humbled everytime I walk into a drum store in Nashville just listening to other folks trying out stuff). The Rush tribute band I was in did...

    Aluminum Fence for the pool

    I work in an aluminum extrusion plant and these are common shapes. The wall thicknesses look fine and should be worry free. I would find out if they powder coat these or use a wet paint line to paint the extrusions. We have a wet paint line and paint all of the colors that are on their...
