Today I'm hanging new tiles in the basement. I had to rip the old crap off when we had the ducts put in for the new furnace. Ripping the old stuff down was fun, but taking out eleventy billion staples wasn't.

Here's what it looks like now. I have one box put up and a few more boxes to go.

Got 2 more boxes done.

The basement is on a straight shot from the furnace and the bulkhead for the upstairs ducts runs through the basement. When the heat kicks on my basement gets toasty. Looks like i'm going to have to tape the whole fugger up because there has to be a massive leak somewhere.

Lets see Indy's working on the basement, Mike slogging through the snow to feed the horses, Brian roasting his ass off waist deep in beans...
Im drinking coffee out back by the waterfall watching the sun come up with the ole lap top. God I love California some times.

come on down, we'll get a group together!

Chuck, road trip!
I won't be heading out that way for a few months, but when I do I'll let you guys know. It'll be to help my mom move from Vegas to St. George, so maybe a co-ordinated herf at Fuente's

So I jacked my own thread...

BTW, Ceiling isn't finished yet. I took a break!

I found some 8" drivers & crossovers from an old Bose 601 on ebay last night. Looks like I'm going to be wall mounting them in the basement. I better hurry up and run some wire in the ceiling before I finish up the trim.
