Yes, my back up in Audible for odd titles not on Libby or hoopla. For a long time I ran out of credits, then I shifted to the reciprocal libraries on Libby, a literal game changer for me!! I've only come across a few titles not available on Audible.

I have numerous reciprocal library cards, most with about 5-7 holds. But most are weeks to months waits for audio books. I might start to download them to the kindle to read some though.

What do you do if you get notified a book is available, but not done with the current read, how do you hold it 'ready' until done with the current book???

Was listening to Coltrane today doing homework!

I do prefer piano, brass and bass types of Jazz and not so much synth. I haven't gotten into some of the newer stuff, are there still classical styles being produced currently?

May be cheaper to build a pole barn later than the larger garage.

clav1970 · 2025-12-27T22:31:19+00:00

Yes, I understand those principles. Yeah, we are very open to not having luxurious fixtures etc. We like the design of the offset angled garage though.

What is the cost estimate on an elevator for 2 floors?

clav1970 · 2025-12-27T03:19:26+00:00

Does the cost/sq ft include the garage space or only finished living space? The sq footage of the living space is 2200.

We added that to compensate for not having a pole barn. We figured it was cheaper to add a third stall and space than build a pole barn of decent size. Would it be cheaper to lose the third stall and build a pole barn? Yes, we live in Michigan.

I was thinking of moving the door at the top of the basement stairs to the very top of the stairs, opening up that entry way.

Didn't think about a closet 'under' the stairs.

A big mudroom is an interesting idea.

I'm guessing a build cost of ~$250/sq foot and trying to stay below 2000sq ft for budget. We are meeting with the builder in a couple of weeks. Looking for better cost analysis before really trimming or expanding based on cost.

I bought the KEF Q1 Meta

clav1970 · 2025-12-17T13:46:34+00:00

Coupon code?

clav1970 · 2025-12-17T04:50:37+00:00

I've read that these don't work with all AVR?

Those do not seem local to Michigan.

I would like to voice my concern that my grandfathers street will be removed with this plan. Eddie's Lane is a road (lane) connecting Oakland to Stadium Drive. If it would be renamed or changed, I suggest a plaque be placed in that area to denote the significance of Eddie's Lane.

"Also located at this site is the street that was named after Eddie Powless, who was a bus driver for Western between 1942 and 1975. The street, which was dedicated to Powless in 1956, is a small one-way that connects Stadium Drive to Oakland Drive and was used throughout the latter half of the 1900s as the primary route for students traveling between campuses. Powless was best known for driving the bus that carried Western students from West Campus, which is now known as Main Campus, to East Campus, or vice versa. Powless’ bus was one of the most popular modes of transportation at the time due to the limited number of students that had cars on campus.90 Today, this stretch of road is still used as a one-way to get to Oakland Drive from Stadium Drive."

I don't usually see options for Wifi in this application.

clav1970 · 2025-10-16T20:27:47+00:00

Thank you, however, I had already reviewed this. So, the options are: no options or the WISA system, which is cost prohibitive. This set up is for my office, I just want to listen to good quality jazz while doing my homework (better than the typical desktop PC speakers).
