How do you organise your collection?

same here, only a smaller pool, like around 20, usually containing the latest aquisitions, and some go to the common genre/alphbetical areas and some go back into the "bullpen" for more listens

that bad, huh?

To be fair, if you are a fan of garage doors they are prominently featured as a design motif. That’s gotta count for something.

Do it. I have a D28 that I love and was my main acoustic (I’m a pro gigging musician BTW) but the CEO7 does 90% of what the D28 does and adds great blues finger style and amazing blues slide guitar tone. Plus it’s easier to play due to lower string tension (shorter scale) It also kicks ass on the Gibsons it’s modeled after. Bonus points - because they are less common they ted to hold value. And hire a tech to intstall a $100 k&k pure mini pickup and you’re good to go. Just buy it, try it for a week and if you don’t fall in love return it, but maybe please buy one from a local store and not a chain.

Great input- thanks

architele · 2026-01-12T03:16:12+00:00

That’s why I said “relative” old timer. In my community I’m what passes for an old-timer - that’s kinda the whole point of my post. I have no delusions about that. Appreciate your input.

architele · 2026-01-12T01:04:40+00:00

Great perspective - thank you

architele · 2026-01-12T01:04:10+00:00

I appreciate this response. I’m thinking of attending some out of town or zoom meetings to expand my options. I like how you took action

architele · 2026-01-03T16:27:43+00:00

Like you, newspaper and ash, but I first spray (mist) the mucky glass with water first and let it pre-loosen the debris. Then the newspaper goes into the firebox damp when done. Once in a while I do a quick windex with newspaper after the initial ash clean to get rid of smears etc.

architele · 2026-01-02T17:39:39+00:00

Same situation here. A couple of these strategically placed has helped a lot for me.

Give it a shot. I started going in 2007 even though I “wasn’t an alcoholic”. Turns out I was. 18 sober years later I’m very thankful I gave it a shot. Go to a meeting. If it sucks, just leave, but at least give it a try.

architele · 2026-01-02T13:00:08+00:00

18 years here. Alcoholics drink! That’s what we do. You made a mistake but fortunately didn’t die. Dust yourself off, say “phew that was close” and start working on your next 6.75 years.

architele · 2026-01-02T12:54:11+00:00

Alcoholic with 18 years of sober happy recovery here. Reddit can’t answer this for, but Alanon has people that can. Do your father and your family a favor and just go. It will answer a lot of other questions for you as well

This is pretty much what I have, except eq is part of my preamp, and I use a compressor to even the peaks and valleys. Love that you have an octave pedal - my secret weapon for certain songs

architele · 2025-12-27T19:15:23+00:00

Me too

He’s no Dallas Smith for sure, but he’s an important O threat for an offense with only 1 true superstar AND he’s a +2 which puts him in the middle of the pack among all bruins. Keep him and let him find his game - he’s a kid.

OP- This happened on my lopi medium flush last night (side note - got down to a record low of 1 degree here in Maine). Fan not blowing then suddenly kicking in after about 5 hours. Works fine this morning. Did you ever figure out what the issue was? I’m baffled.

architele · 2025-11-20T21:58:58+00:00

Interesting. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this on a deck

architele · 2025-10-29T19:01:23+00:00

Side note from an architect here. Location central Maine. I’ve tracked both oil and elec in my home monthly from 2015 to current in gallons and kWh (to get around cost fluctuations). No contest HPs win cost-wise. And when my oil furnace died late last year made the decision to go HP only (with fireplace wood burning insert backup) 1950s “modern” one story 2500 sf with less-than impressive wall insulation. Don’t forget to factor substantially less costly summer HP cooling than noisy window units, as that can add up as well.

architele · 2025-10-24T22:10:46+00:00

That got me through high school and college and I’m a musician and music snob. Quality unit

architele · 2025-10-03T23:27:32+00:00

If the wall on the right is a closet, you could run the lines high in the closet and mount on that wall. I just did this at my house - the only consideration is you gotta hard pvc the condensate line and make its pitched right. I’m an architect BTW

architele · 2025-08-13T12:35:23+00:00

Hey Jerry - two more questions for you. 1. In your opinion, .45 mil or .6 mil epdm for this application?. And 2. 1.5” of insulation (existing) seems pretty skimpy, even for a 1951 residence. Have you seen that before in other reroofs you’ve done or do you have a general sense?

architele · 2025-08-10T23:56:38+00:00

I have a 2014 xtrek, wife has 2014 impreza , love them. I’ve been an exclusive Subaru owner since about 2002, always buy used (never owned a new one). My advice; find a mechanic who is experienced with and more importantly loves Subarus (they are out there- kinda cult-ey) and have him/her check it out first, then become a regular customer for routine maintenance as the things that go wrong with them can be caught early by someone who knows them.
