Matt I know you said you want to “grow up” about sharing your new house, but I know many of us love your house content and your thoughts and actions with “OGing “ a home.
Totally agree with the share. I swear so much of my decision making has come from incorporating your ideas. I'm a total jacker lol. But that's what makes OG so great right? This is the brand, and the value you always speak too. We get it. @@ObsessedGarage
You should consider doing a home theatre channel or series that explains all terminology and tech explanations through to product reviews and recommendations for those of us who are clueless but want to learn. An OG theatre series if you will
Man, your home is beautiful!! You’ve given me so many ideas that I intend to complete! Especially when I retire in 4 years! Great video!! Great equipment! Great home! Looking forward to more!
Being an audio nut, I really love the Home Theater videos. The best part of this design is the "I built this for me, not everyone else." I really agree with that mentality. 98% of guests watching a movie will be plenty impressed with it the one time they demo it, but the main viewer is me/you.... This room is very inviting and doesn't have that commercial feel many home theaters with stepped seating do. When I setup mine, I aspire to have a similar feel.... Can't wait to see what the setup is in the new house Matt!!
I was into car stereo systems as well when I was younger. The funny thing is when I was 23 a work mentor of mine told me that when I get older I will get in to home audio. He was in his 40s and he had tube amps, VPI turntable, and many vinyl's. Now that I am 45, I have transitioned into home theater about 7 years ago. Thanks for sharing.
Totally agree on all the control systems used to program residential av systems. Crestron rti c4 etc are great til you have an issue at 11 pm on a Saturday.
On your next house, it's fairly cheap to do a whole house system. I did that in addition to the "Normal" protections. Then I added units to protect both A/C units. Which also protects the electronics from lightning coming in the "Backdoor".
Excited to see 3.0! As someone that has ventured into entry-mid level stuff (SVS, Emotiva, HSU) I am always interested in seeing what else is out there.
I don’t know what it is about this guy! Every time I watch his videos I just know I’m in for a ride. Maybe I’m wrong but I just feel Matt don’t give a fuck! He is just so natural and just him self. Keep up the good work brother. Love to family!!
Matt look into inline surge devices for your cat 6 and your cable coax, basically when hit by a strike that may get by your whole house(stage 1 or 2) surge protector or back door to your coax/cat 6, these devices will simply blow like a fuse , not letting the current ruin your equipment
Love the home theater, sad about the issues your having, I could almost see the pain in your eyes when you were talking about the lighting strike and the projector problems, thanks for keeping it real.
@@ObsessedGarage I saw that. I have always said I have enjoyed the journey just as much as I enjoy the end product. So I know what you mean about the process of building a home theater.
Wow, beautiful home theater!👋👍🇵🇷 Hope your next one will be as beautiful as this one. Yes, no need for demo since RUclips allows only 12 seconds else copyright infringements will come into effect.
Matt, you nailed on talking to the other guy while you were in atlanta. I turn to you for process and I know you have obsessed over both the product and the process so it saves me time. I can detail a car but its what steps you have found best and what products you think fit that process best to make things produce great outcomes in an easy way. Sometimes that isn't cheap and you take risk. Like the attachments for the foam cannon do I really need them nope but sure is fun and makes attaching the lid easy etc. Thanks for what you do cause you win and we win
Just a suggestion. I know you know a lot about this topic. I have the exact LCR speakers. My wife worked for Harman and I got employee pricing. I have them in a secondary room where I watch TV and listen to a MIND Neo streaming device while I workout. In my main “media” room I had Klipsch RF7II as LR and RF62 I think is the model as center. While they may not be as “fine” shall we say as the 208, they kick their ass for movies. I now placed the RF7 as rear surround and got a pair of Cornwall IV as LR and a Heresy IV as center. If you haven’t listened to the Klipsch Heritage line, do yourself a favor and do so. And check out Cory at Paducah Home Theater for excellent deals if you decide to go that route. The soundstage the Cornwall throws will make you want to put the 208 in a storage closet or sell them instantly.
I solved the projector problem.... Dual display: LG 77 OLED with a Stewart Film Caberet (Drop down) 2.35:1 Studiotek G4 133” 1.3 gain + JVC Nx7 in my 16x21 room.
Had the same subwoofer hum issue with brand new Marantz gear, Over 3 years I tried all sorts of power conditioners/isolators/moving wires/ground loop tricks and a host of other recommended filters. Finally i swapped my $50 premium sub cable with a $100 Blue Jean premium cable and the hum went away. I’m telling you if you haven’t tried already... swap your subwoofer cables. I suffered for 3 years with this issue ....gosh I wish I just tried a new cable right away.
Love the fact you have a normal and comfi sofa. Those theater step seats look like outer space stuff. Let's face it, regular people's home if decently sized may measure 20x25 or if lucky 25x45. And still those are not AMC numbers. Lol. For me, theater steps seating would require something like around 35X75. Other than that people need to come down to earth, face reality and be reasonable in choosing projector size according to room size. I also hate the fact that it looks ridiculous when youtubers are sitting 8 or 10ft feet from a 150" projector with their necks as if they are drowning in the middle of the ocean. Great video and thanks for being real, and down to earth.
I run a Marantz Pre pro, REL Sub, Monitor Audio speaker rig. I’ve always considered Yamaha and SVS but never pulled the trigger. Kinda surprised you like Yamaha over marantz. Looks like a really nice setup.
A/C compressor power source sounds like it might be the issue for the subs humming, possibly could be connected to the same power feed? I hear what you are saying about the shortcomings of projectors, but I would still take them because of 3 main reasons, animorphic aspect, larger size, and speaker placement behind the screen. Samsung wall can fix 2 of those issues...but their frame rates are still slow, not to mention cost, but that will be fixed soon no doubt. LG has an 8K 88" OLED but that is a big as they go yet sadly. Man your gear is on another level! Sounds like the JVC projector would have been the better projector, with the multiple memory lens zoom setting functions, I believe the larger lens on the JVC might also be shorter throw too, which retains brightness (darker room will help with picture quality to, at least light bleeding, and then there is the adding of an animorph lens as well). Also a larger screen would help some with looking straight level to the center of the screen too via perception wise; then you could put the speakers behind the screen as well.
Samsung Wall MicroLed can be as big or bigger than most home projector screens. But most people don't release that all MicroLed screens are several smaller panels jigsaw together. The technology doesn't yet exist for a 4k MicroLed tv made of just one panel like a normal tv.
you should have just done a 16:9 screen. its just easier. black bars up and down are easier and what TVs have so you're used to them. magnetic masking is easy to help convert 16:9 too..
@Obsessed Garage - Matt, thank you for responding to my non-car question on your live stream today. I didn't know Jeff had retired. I'm kinda bummed because I was looking forward to having him calibrate our projector and audio system again, once we move to Florida. I'm sorry to hear that you had trouble with your system during a storm. I'm sure you already did so, but did you contact Jeff? When we had our system fully calibrated here in PA, he sent me an email with all of my settings just in case something would happen. Perhaps he has your settings saved in a file on his laptop? Best of luck my friend. -Judd
Surprised by the rookie mistakes on the projector. Screen innovations makes great screens but would never suggest Black Diamond in a dedicated home theater, the whole point of it is for ambient light rejection. Slate is a much better material and doesn't sparkle if you want added contrast and some ALR, otherwise unity gain is good if going full blackout. On long HDMI cables I would go either Cleerline SSF 48gbs or Velox’s 8K Fiber cable, really solid well thought out cables. If you want some OG spec projectors look at Sim2's DUAL NERO 4S UHD HDR, stacked 10k Lumen to get true HDR out of a projector.
If your using Dayton amps on subs try removing ground pin or using an adapter for electrical plugs. That seems to eliminate the hum. I use the adapter.
Pretty nice setup man. Great choice on that screen. It’s the absolute best though matter what anyone says. I Have the same one too. Sorry to hear of all your problems. You live and learn though.
An anamorphic lens and a lumagen radiance pro would do wonders for your experience with that screen and projector. Without them, you aren’t getting true 4K.
Everything looks awesome man! Not a fan of the sconces, home theater seating, and fabric walls to make it look like a mini cinema either. I like a comfy couch and plush carpet as well. I look forward to more great content from you.
Awesome setup, must have some killer bass in that room 😊👍. I think that’s awesome having that nice comfortable sofa.. Not really into home theatre seating myself . So did you run only 2 atmos speakers because you you bi-amped your towers ? Did you also bi-amp your center ?
Jeff Meier from accucal did the audio video calibration for you. Unfortunately he isn’t doing in home but is offering remote calibration. He might come down for you and a one off. Great guy and fantastic work. He did my tv’s and dedicated theater. Hope he makes the rounds one last time once COVID calms down. Check out rt theaters (Roman) for home theater seating if you want something like that instead of a couch. Best to you and your family!
Awesome setup and great equipment! I love the size of your room as well, you have a lot of options. I have the same front stage as you except I have 4 SB 16s for my subs. I love the sound of the Revels. I am now working on acoustic panels to smooth out the sound of the room a bit more. I’m taking notes on your placement choices, how did you go about choosing size and thickness? Thanks!
did the Sony 15,000 dollar projector but my Epson or Ben q looking as good. So this Epson owner haves a 85-inch qled and then if I feel like going a little bigger I press the button on my harmony ultra and a 135 inch screen comes out the ceiling. Going to do it you got to do it right both the best worlds.
Please take a look at Atlona HDMI Matrix switches. I have been using one for 9 years. It can pass HDMI 1080P over CAT5. The new switches are incredible, and I will be installing a few in my new home.
Outstanding video... I thought i embassy the only one that thought Yamaha sounded better than marantz and Denon. Audyssey flattens the LFE way to much. How did you connect multiple subs?
Oh my Matt! I feel for your loss in the headaches of issues with the projector. I know you’ll dial in your 3.0 version better than this one. Try REL reference. Sublime. The JL Gotham’s weigh like 2 tons. Can’t wait to see your new home and the new projects....
Ideally, the room should be twice as long as it is wide. Placement of seat should be either 1/3 distance from front wall or 2/3. A square room is about as bad as it gets acoustically. Seats at back of room or halfway cause major issues. Acoustic panels in a home theater environment are dubious at best. They are narrow band and affect a narrow frequency response. It can be said that if not done perfectly at the exact required frequency response that they ruin the soundstage. Bass traps, such as you are using are not going to have much effect as the wave length at 40 hz is 28 feet. You can extrapolate the other frequencies mathematically. The amount of bass that you are putting into such a small room is a bit much, but with judicious placement of the subwoofers, you can eliminate all the standing waves much more effectively.
Was this filmed with the Canon C200....? This is an exceptionally crisp, almost cinematic picture... especially for being filmed inside, outside, and moving around. Or did you get something newer/nicer than is on the Amazon list? Thanks in advance!
Hello Sir I just wanted to say you have an amazing channel and I wanted to ask how were you able to afford this projector, I'm only 14 and I want to be able to afford this projector in the future, do you have any tips like what jobs I should try to do because you seem successful and i want to be able to afford a Home Theatre like yourself when I grow up
Wouldn't the subwoofer humming be a grounding issue inside the internal amps in them? I would pull the cables and check for buzzing without an input source.
Yep, I did that too. It's really annoying. It's coming from somewhere in the loop. I'm not going to chase it any longer, since I'll be pulling it apart.
Does he have a video of him installing the projector? I looked back the last couple months and don't see a video on it he usually does videos updating as he goes.
Wow. I'm just a dumb retired guy who gets GREAT picture from the Sony projector (4k 4-4-4 HDR.) HDMI2.2 thru a 'basic' Denon 4k AVR. Cheap-ass amp. Middle of the road cables. Sounds fantastic. I did keep the 13 year old screen because I don't have room for a 2.35:1. My take? Roll your own. Screw the high-priced 'experts'. They don't know how to find their ass.
Thank you for the tour and detailed overview of your home theater. Yet another interest we have in common. My dream is to have a room like that someday...Did you have the audio and video calibrated/"dialed-in" by W. Jeff Meier (AccuCal)? You were trying to remember his name and knowing your expectations, I think Jeff would have been your guy. He calibrated my Pioneer Elite PRO-150 60" plasma 10 years ago and it still looks great today. He also did my audio calibration and it sounds spectacular. He is very highly regarded over at avsforum.com. Cheers and thanks again for sharing.
You should consider something like the SurgeX PF420 power frame for your next rack! I’ve had great results with it. Gives you 80 Amps (4x 20a) of conditioned & surge protected power before the receptacles. the furmans work great but nothing beats direct wired surge protection. 👍🏼 love the home content too!
Sounds like quite a few problems from the AV company. Wrong screen - to high gain (you have shades?) It’s a black diamond screen by the way. Studio TEK is A SAFE BET. Black diamond is decent if you are particular about black levels. They might of spec’d it since you were coming from OLED. Other reasons can be looked at but I am not going into that right now. The fire hawk would of worked there to from STEWART. But in any case - the company might not be the BEST. Sorry for that experience. So your hum issue - with the subs (and probably) your speakers too but less noticeable. This also applies to your issue with the projector and YAMAHA. Lightning didn’t hit your HDMI cable at the peak. Lightning hit the cable service line most likely off property. For some reason it always hops the box without damaging it but travels through the cable box to your processor and blows out the HDMI board in the unit. This then traveled to your projector and also blow out that unit. If you look at the splitter from Xfinity you will find that there is a spot to ground the splitter that wasn’t done. This should of been done. There are also surges that can be placed in the line before the equipment that can be put in place to help protect that further. Like TDP for example. This ungrounded splitter is also causing the hum in your speakers.
With 77 in being the largest OLED that's available and looks like it will be for a while, projection just might be the way to go. I found Home Theater Solutions in Orlando to be first rate!
I did it as a short-term project. I needed some subs for OGHQ, so I built these. I was planning to get 4 Captivators, but I just didn't pony up the cash for them yet.
Online yard sale again? I need myself some subs and front stage. Keep up the great work, the changes in the way you act and talk have changed so much over the years. Compliment by the way, we share similar struggles.
No stress here. I'm actually super chill about my theater being a bit of a disaster. I have been hoping for some motivation to fix it, but I haven't really worried about it.
@@ObsessedGarage Perhaps if you do a video on the room your theater is moving into (if you can get into it) it might give your viewers the chance to comment on suggestions for your new room and that might motivate you. I know one thing and thats that you should NOT hire a company to come in and do the work for you. you never seem happy with other peoples work on your stuff. There's nothing wrong with that, but you always know how you want it done and have a much better chance of doing the job right and to your standards
Matt I know you said you want to “grow up” about sharing your new house, but I know many of us love your house content and your thoughts and actions with “OGing “ a home.
Maybe keep it inside the hex?
Yeah that would be a great plan too.
We will see how long it lasts. It probably won't be long before I'm showing too much again.
Totally agree with the share. I swear so much of my decision making has come from incorporating your ideas. I'm a total jacker lol. But that's what makes OG so great right? This is the brand, and the value you always speak too. We get it. @@ObsessedGarage
It’s nice to see other people like me that really appreciate excellent picture and sound quality of a home theater, the pursuit of perfection
You should consider doing a home theatre channel or series that explains all terminology and tech explanations through to product reviews and recommendations for those of us who are clueless but want to learn. An OG theatre series if you will

That moment he starts talking to the door is gold
I was into car stereo systems as well when I was younger. The funny thing is when I was 23 a work mentor of mine told me that when I get older I will get in to home audio. He was in his 40s and he had tube amps, VPI turntable, and many vinyl's. Now that I am 45, I have transitioned into home theater about 7 years ago. Thanks for sharing.
Totally agree on all the control systems used to program residential av systems. Crestron rti c4 etc are great til you have an issue at 11 pm on a Saturday.
wow, can't wait for the dial in/build of the new house 👍🏽
Sold the house? Where have I been
under a rock
A week late bud
Check out the latest wash & chat
To be fair, he listed and sold it within a week and a half. It was quick.

Hope your next one will be as beautiful as this one.
Yes, no need for demo since RUclips allows only 12 seconds else copyright infringements will come into effect.
Not if hes playing his own content
Make sure your HDMI cables going to the Yamaha are longer than 2m. You can overdrive the cable shorter than that and cause issues.
Thanks for the tip about keystone. Never thought to mess with it but has sorted my very slight trapezoid image 👍

Very nice. Throw a GIK GOBO portable panel in front of the equipment rack if you want to stop the reflection off the glass.
Congratulations on the sale of the house. It’s been awesome learning from your theater build journey and graciously look forward to the future. 💯💯💯💯
You may want to look into the SVS PB-16 Ultra for a 'best bang for your buck' sub! Cool stuff Matt.
He's had and heard a JTR subwoofer there's no turning back now 😂🤣
wait, so you are telling me you have other obsessions?! cant wait for your Obsessed Pantry channel.

Matt, its pretty impressive that you can recall all those model numbers of each piece of equipment. I cant even remember what model iPhone I have
I am a big fan of the Yamaha receivers as well. Have a had a few over the years, including my current one. Good stuff.
My ‘good enough’ setup has a denon avr x6700 av receiver, svs prime front, center, rear, and atmos height speakers and, dual pb 3000 subs.
I solved the projector problem.... Dual display: LG 77 OLED with a Stewart Film Caberet (Drop down) 2.35:1 Studiotek G4 133” 1.3 gain + JVC Nx7 in my 16x21 room.
Im glad you finally went to a real theater with the projector and setup. Next one will be better

That's basically a commercial theater level sound system in a livingroom. Lmao.
Haven’t watched a OG video in a while.. looking jacked Matt! Looking forward to what you do to your next place 👍🏽
Outstanding video... I thought i embassy the only one that thought Yamaha sounded better than marantz and Denon. Audyssey flattens the LFE way to much.
How did you connect multiple subs?
Great space! You don't seem thrilled with the projector setup. Would you prefer an OLED?
Oh my Matt! I feel for your loss in the headaches of issues with the projector. I know you’ll dial in your 3.0 version better than this one. Try REL reference. Sublime. The JL Gotham’s weigh like 2 tons. Can’t wait to see your new home and the new projects....
Ideally, the room should be twice as long as it is wide. Placement of seat should be either 1/3 distance from front wall or 2/3. A square room is about as bad as it gets acoustically. Seats at back of room or halfway cause major issues. Acoustic panels in a home theater environment are dubious at best. They are narrow band and affect a narrow frequency response. It can be said that if not done perfectly at the exact required frequency response that they ruin the soundstage. Bass traps, such as you are using are not going to have much effect as the wave length at 40 hz is 28 feet. You can extrapolate the other frequencies mathematically. The amount of bass that you are putting into such a small room is a bit much, but with judicious placement of the subwoofers, you can eliminate all the standing waves much more effectively.
6k on blackouts, 2100 on subs. Hehe. Great video Matt! What an incredible theater. I was expecting something amazing. But holy crap!
Wow, next house, more cowbell!
30:18 !!! I've said the same thing!!
I say, " these people like sitting in the front row in theaters "
I must be crazy but I still think you’d like the Sony UST. I came from a JVC and I’m still loving the Sony.
Sold your house?! Before the Garage?! Huh?!
Was this filmed with the Canon C200....? This is an exceptionally crisp, almost cinematic picture... especially for being filmed inside, outside, and moving around. Or did you get something newer/nicer than is on the Amazon list? Thanks in advance!
Yep, C200 with Sigma ART 18-35.
@@ObsessedGarage Thank you for the reply! It's awesome to see a result and work backwards from that when picking equipment. 👍
Hello Sir I just wanted to say you have an amazing channel and I wanted to ask how were you able to afford this projector, I'm only 14 and I want to be able to afford this projector in the future, do you have any tips like what jobs I should try to do because you seem successful and i want to be able to afford a Home Theatre like yourself when I grow up
Good stuff, thanks for sharing.
You sold my dream home/estate, I would have dug a 2 acre pond and called it a lake
He bought something on a lake.
@@GBMM7 You missed the point of my comment
@@youngblood23rb doubt I did but ok.
That’s insane
Wouldn't the subwoofer humming be a grounding issue inside the internal amps in them? I would pull the cables and check for buzzing without an input source.
Yep, I did that too. It's really annoying. It's coming from somewhere in the loop. I'm not going to chase it any longer, since I'll be pulling it apart.
I completely forgot you built those subs
I’m watching on a 138” screen with a 7.2.4 in wall theater system!! Just watching for ideas!!
You should look at 4 way masking for your screen for HT3.0
Yeah...that's probably something of value to consider. It's much easier if you wire for it.
What is the paint codes for the walls and base boards?
I would like to see you swap out that Sony projector for a high end utlra short-throw projector. The picture might be easier to tune on one of those
Does he have a video of him installing the projector? I looked back the last couple months and don't see a video on it he usually does videos updating as he goes.
I don't. I let a company do it. That was a bad idea. I should have done it myself.
Wow. I'm just a dumb retired guy who gets GREAT picture from the Sony projector (4k 4-4-4 HDR.) HDMI2.2 thru a 'basic' Denon 4k AVR. Cheap-ass amp. Middle of the road cables. Sounds fantastic. I did keep the 13 year old screen because I don't have room for a 2.35:1. My take? Roll your own. Screw the high-priced 'experts'. They don't know how to find their ass.
Time to upgrade my 32 inch tv
Buy a Lumagen video processor. You will never worry about black bars again
Love your tech vids man
You said you want a "bigger" screen in the next one but don't want a projector. Aren't the 100+" OLED screens something like $200k?
Thank you for the tour and detailed overview of your home theater. Yet another interest we have in common. My dream is to have a room like that someday...Did you have the audio and video calibrated/"dialed-in" by W. Jeff Meier (AccuCal)? You were trying to remember his name and knowing your expectations, I think Jeff would have been your guy. He calibrated my Pioneer Elite PRO-150 60" plasma 10 years ago and it still looks great today. He also did my audio calibration and it sounds spectacular. He is very highly regarded over at avsforum.com.
Cheers and thanks again for sharing.
Yep, it was Jeff!
You should consider something like the SurgeX PF420 power frame for your next rack! I’ve had great results with it.
Gives you 80 Amps (4x 20a) of conditioned & surge protected power before the receptacles. the furmans work great but nothing beats direct wired surge protection. 👍🏼
love the home content too!
Sounds like quite a few problems from the AV company. Wrong screen - to high gain (you have shades?)
It’s a black diamond screen by the way.
Studio TEK is A SAFE BET. Black diamond is decent if you are particular about black levels. They might of spec’d it since you were coming from OLED.
Other reasons can be looked at but I am not going into that right now.
The fire hawk would of worked there to from STEWART.
But in any case - the company might not be the BEST. Sorry for that experience.
So your hum issue - with the subs (and probably) your speakers too but less noticeable.
This also applies to your issue with the projector and YAMAHA.
Lightning didn’t hit your HDMI cable at the peak.
Lightning hit the cable service line most likely off property. For some reason it always hops the box without damaging it but travels through the cable box to your processor and blows out the HDMI board in the unit. This then traveled to your projector and also blow out that unit.
If you look at the splitter from Xfinity you will find that there is a spot to ground the splitter that wasn’t done. This should of been done. There are also surges that can be placed in the line before the equipment that can be put in place to help protect that further. Like TDP for example.
This ungrounded splitter is also causing the hum in your speakers.
You can fight with Xfinity to get reimbursement as well but it is a process.
Get it confirmed by and electronic service center.
With 77 in being the largest OLED that's available and looks like it will be for a while, projection just might be the way to go. I found Home Theater Solutions in Orlando to be first rate!
I believe LG just launched the 88in pretty recently
@@kylesowder8085 wow that would be awesome!
I loved Tweeter Etc. Bought many items there. I was sad to see them go the way of the DoDo Bird.
Golden Nugget: Look up Dennis Foley of Acousticfields
You got rid of Jeff’s JTR 4,000 and went with Dayton audio um18-22’s. Why
He did like the sub but he would never use half its capability and to get additional matching subs it would cost much more than the DIY dayton 18s.
Also explains it at timestamp 9:20.
I did it as a short-term project. I needed some subs for OGHQ, so I built these. I was planning to get 4 Captivators, but I just didn't pony up the cash for them yet.
Online yard sale again? I need myself some subs and front stage.
Keep up the great work, the changes in the way you act and talk have changed so much over the years. Compliment by the way, we share similar struggles.
Ha, ha... Fanciest yard sale ever. I think I'm going to transplant all of this into my new garage.
@@ObsessedGarage I still run the Klipsch speakers i bought from the last time you cleaned up. They sound great!
Matt, you seem stressed out man. Then again moving is the number 1 biggest PITA so i have a feeling its going to get worse before things get better.
No stress here. I'm actually super chill about my theater being a bit of a disaster. I have been hoping for some motivation to fix it, but I haven't really worried about it.
@@ObsessedGarage Perhaps if you do a video on the room your theater is moving into (if you can get into it) it might give your viewers the chance to comment on suggestions for your new room and that might motivate you. I know one thing and thats that you should NOT hire a company to come in and do the work for you. you never seem happy with other peoples work on your stuff. There's nothing wrong with that, but you always know how you want it done and have a much better chance of doing the job right and to your standards
Maybe contact Youthman for some tips or help. He's also in FL but I'm not sure where.
Last thing I saw about your house was a plan to build a garage. I guess things have changed LOL
Not sure what I missed either
Watch last wash and talk. He explains reasoning to moving.
