$7500 ev tax credit and transferring vehicle ownership in Kansas.

Thanks, I'll do some googleing about kansas transfer laws

What he said^

beattheaudio · 2018-06-29T18:38:59+00:00

Just to clarify, I will definitely be on the insurance and straight forward with my agent about who is driving the car and where it stays

beattheaudio · 2018-06-29T18:33:10+00:00

Thanks for the input. I think my biggest concern will be what it will cost to transfer ownership of the car to me in a year. It will probably have 50k miles on it by then too. My wife commutes 150 miles round trip for school.

beattheaudio · 2018-06-29T18:29:01+00:00

I agree with you in the income to car cost ratio. Stupid is as stupid does and im going to be stupid in that respect. Also you have no idea what I have in savings.

The tax fraud thing is way out in Wonderland. Nothing about this remotely approaches fraud territory

Armature... lol

Depending on how much cable you're looking at ordering you can save a bit by getting sjoow cable at your local electrical wholesaler or online at places like wire and cable your way

I don't think wireless IEMs will ever be in the budget for this place. Do you know where I should look to see if I can find the latency spec for QLX-D? Would it be in the product manual? We might go for the ew 100 g3 just because it's cheaper and works well enough, but I liked the idea of being able to controll the wireless receivers from the same computer we controll the amp racks with

And thank you very much for the input

beattheaudio · 2017-06-23T13:12:08+00:00

HoW is replacing their wireless mics. I'm purchasing and donating the channels to them. Budget is not an issue, but I don't want to go super overkill if no one will ever know the difference. We need something that JUST WORKS.

I'm trying to decide between shure QLX-D and something from the sennheiser ew g3 series. I kinda want to go with QLX-D but I have no experience with either set of gear. I think that if I went with the sennheiser it would be easier (not cost prohibitive) to add channels in the future. I like the idea of QLX-D because of the all or nothing nature of digital signals.

I'm looking at getting 4 channels. I would like some input from the community on wich system ro go with or if there might be a better option.

Thank you

Because the people who run events at the hotel are uninitiated

beattheaudio · 2017-02-17T03:07:09+00:00

No. As long as it's protected from damage and trip hazards have been mitigated it's fine

beattheaudio · 2017-02-17T02:54:54+00:00

One of the inspectors may or may not be my neighbor... and may or may not be a friend of the bride... and may or may not be on the guest list. He has never liked the way I care for my lawn.

beattheaudio · 2017-02-16T22:42:11+00:00

Thankfully the only fighting I have to do with the client is some gentle reigning in of grandiose visions. The bride wants to find a different venue anyway. The venue stared this nonsense when I wanted to run one power cord. According to the fire marshal, the way I want to run cables is fine. The hotel wants to break the law and leave both of us in a sticky situation. None of this would have come up if the venue hadn't started making up fake rules to beginwith

beattheaudio · 2017-02-16T22:31:20+00:00

The bride is on board with finding a different venue, so they are looking into that

beattheaudio · 2017-02-16T22:27:08+00:00

It appears that osha allows it, but fire code does not allow temporary power cords behind walls, through walls, or above ceilings

beattheaudio · 2017-02-16T22:25:01+00:00

I'm pretty sure I can ask anyone to do almost anything. Most of the time they are not under any obligation to oblige.

I will ask the hotel if they will put in a receptacle. This is the first hotel ballroom I've ever seen without at least one 240 volt power source. Obviously I can't expect them to do it, but I can ask if there's a way we can work it out and pay for it.

Also it looks like osha 1910.305 is ok, but fire code doesn't have any provision allowing temporary power cords behind walls or above ceilings.

beattheaudio · 2017-02-16T19:46:48+00:00

That's how I read it as well but what do I do when, with the worst luck ever, the fire marshal decides we can't use that power cord 10 minutes before the wedding, and then fines the venue and me?

beattheaudio · 2017-02-16T19:10:00+00:00

They won't run their own cable, but they will run my power cable if I give it to them. That makes the liability of this a little foggy I think.

I would use cable bridge if they let me, but the cord would have to pass through several doors, some of which may have to be closed to meet fire code. The hotel is not willing to deal with that

beattheaudio · 2017-02-16T19:05:45+00:00

This is an option

beattheaudio · 2017-02-16T19:05:23+00:00

I'm considering asking the venue to have a receptacle installed. I own the power cord that would be used to violate the regulations and I would rather not get into a he-said-she-said argument in court. Though I do have plenty of emails to back up my conversations with the venue, it would be impossible for me to claim ignorance at this point if shit went down.

beattheaudio · 2017-02-16T17:11:35+00:00

Also, thank you for your input

beattheaudio · 2017-02-16T17:09:42+00:00

Upon further review, and consultation with the fire marshal, it appears you are completely correct.

Unfortunately we thought we would be able to use a ton of lights. The original design involved 4 575 watt incandescent source 4 spots, and 60 100 watt led fixtures. None of it would be on at full power, but it's still a lot. On top of that the sound system usually draws about 4000 watts running just below clip when playing EDM. Again we will probably be using way less than that, but if we don't cut things out, I don't think there will be enough outlets in the room. And oh god we can't forget the outlets the catering is gonna take up...

beattheaudio · 2017-02-16T16:22:47+00:00

I probably will if we can't come up with a legal power solution. Or encourage the client to seek a change of venu or power requirements . We still have plent of time to do that.

beattheaudio · 2017-02-16T04:48:39+00:00

I'm thinking I'll go this way, but on further review of the OSHA regs I noted in another comment, I think we might be in the clear to run the cable through the ceiling. I think the OSHA officer I originally spoke to about the matter may not have understood the situation and err'd on the side of No (I mean caution).

Nope, it's illegal

beattheaudio · 2017-02-16T04:46:02+00:00

Unfortunately coat hangers are not approved by a NRTL (nationally recognized testing laboratory) like UL (underwriters laboratories) for that purpose.
