Went for dinner to friends,

0f the girlfriend who is a builder to also see his completed build which took 3 years to build, 236 speakers in the house I was shocked, the cinema room is damn impressive and all I was interested in was the plant and comms room, sad really.

Not sad at all.

236 speakers?

Beats our local pub !

So do they have an intercom ..or is that too old fashioned .
..We often resort to calling each other on mobiles when anyone is enjoying their music at home !

No photos of the plant room the house is 2300 m2 and 260 m2 is underground. Dodgy shot from the garden, any Arsenal supporters here?

 

[Squid]

The two main concrete pillars finished when poured had Douglas Fir shuttering to live the fibres in the concrete which then where cleaned out to leave a pattern. The finish on the walls and ceilings is liquid bees wax.

Sauna took 1 man 3 weeks to complete the wood work.

We have a lot to thank the ---- industry for. it was ---- that kick started online payments systems, video streaming and a lot of other things.. Was this guys first name James? if so im sure he won a long drawn out legal dispute with the council jobsworths over his licenses and what went on in his premises... i recall reading about it when in the forces based in London, im sure you can imagine the things a bunch of squaddies get upto in London

Sounds fancy,but this is old fashioned spin
When i bought my first property,the description,listed the petrol station at the rear,as a "minor detriment".

Some years later,properties on the same road,were said to "benefit from easy access to a mini-mart..."

Day was,when the cheapest shuttering,was done with low grade fir ply,it left a bad finish,but a pressure washer would blast out the fibres...
You could help removal,by using a mould release agent,which internationally available product proved to be bee's wax.

I think of these circular fashion returns,as a draw my endangered animal-skin curtains,sit down and drink my panda milk...
