Very very nice transformation! Are those Dyne Audio floorstanders? The Sub looks petty impressive too. Nice cable management!!

today was an aweful day.
The day started off bad at 6am when my pc wouldnt load QB to print out a change order/form. Googled one and 45 minutes behind schedule finally left. I then went to HD to treated my self to a couple new bits & a shielded wire stapler. I also picked up plywood to build a mount for the IC subs to support the weight because the ceiling material wont support them. Had the cashier (she was cute) sneeze all over me, like WTF? proceeded to crack a few jokes and went off to the job site
Arrived on jobsite late only to find out that the temporary plywood floor was removed under the covered patio. Asked the customer if there was a HD/Lowes near by and proceeded to give me directions. Went off, following his directions exactly ended me up in the outskirts/deep ghetto of trenton. Watch a cop take down two guys single handily take down two guys running. Meanwhile thinking the whole time thank god my truck isnt lettered right now, Finally got back on track and ended up at lowes. Cashier crashed the computer system and took 15 minutes to get it back on line. found a chick-fil-a and ate, only to find out that they screwed my order up (their spicy chicken sandwich is awesome) and got a nother sandwich, instead of saying anything i just ate and went on my way.
3 1/2 hours after i had left i came back and found that my parking spot and all access to the backyard was blocked by three huge tanker tractor trailers filling the pool. Carried 6 sheets of ply wood at least 1000ft from the front yard, get my gear and start to proceed. My circular saw decided to kick the bucket and all my cutting had to be done with a jigsaw. Finally got that done and everyone and their mom decieded it would be a good idea to start asking me questions and telling me about what i already knew.
Installed two self made sub woofer brackets and run wire, clean up and come back. Its rush hour by this time, heard on the radio that there was an overtuned tractor trailer on the highway. I bearly got off before the wall of traffic hit. Hit every light, everyone was getting off. Traffic was terible. Finally start making some headway and a storm hit and took out all the lights. I about recked my van 7 times because of idiot's. a trip that should have taken 45 mintutes took 2 hours Finally got home to find that power was out, my phone was dead and i somewhere lost my key to my house today at the jobsite.
7:45 and i am finally writing this with wendy's and a beer in my right hand.
Ohh, i forgot to mention that it was 97 degrees with 70% relative humidity. And i didnt get even close to finishing pre-wiring this cover patio. I also found out that i have to be back in two weeks to finish the wiring for the surrounding pool speakers. I had to cancel my vacation plans as to not hold the project up.
Today sucked.

Those fronts look like Totem Forests, I didn't know they started offering them in the high gloss black. They look really hot like that.

Today sucked. Sorry to hear that B. This is one reason I don't miss living in N.Y.; really, the only reason. I will often stay working 'till 7-8PM just to avoid traffic. I get few more hours worth of work, and only arrive home half an hour later than if I left the jobsite at rush hour time and was stuck in traffic.
