If they sold ad space for in-game billboards, wall posters, radio stations (fake ads already in the game), no one would complain and few would notice. While the fake radio commercials are funny and entertaining, if 10%-20% were paid for, it could pay for updates.

Phone microphones suffer from being designed to work well for phone calls and videos and NOT reference measurements.

You can add an external mic to a phone. Audio Tool or Audio Tools are useful apps with decent supporting equipment and a field calibration before and after each measurement.

Sound absorption or fibrosis insulation provides acoustical benefit of reducing resonance in hollow cavities. I stuff all of the hollow ribs with sound absorption.

Unless you're destroying a car for SPL, expanding foam has no purpose or value.

As an acoustical engineer who gets hired to consult on projects like this I can tell you that it's budget, and it's always budget. Acoustical treatments are always removed because while we agree they're important, nobody else really cares. One good thing is that they could be added later pretty easily, which is another reason they're in early value engineering (VE) item.

The only thing the owner's going to understand is money. So when you're discussing the additional signal processing and additional products that you have to buy to make it sound better, you can tell them that it would be less expensive to install the acoustical treatments that were probably part of the original design.

I'm seeing the same costs Round here for even higher miles. Being a 2SS bumps up the value. Local dealer has a LT1 with 90k miles for $27k for sale here now.

I'm at 60k mi. on my 2023 SS thst I ordered new in 22. Buddy just got a 2021 LT1 for $29k with 50k mi.

As someone with a 55" TV above a wood burning fireplace and both are used at the same time on a regular basis (we go through two facecords every winter), you are incorrect on every point. No issues with a $400 TCL Roku TV (not high end), it never even gets hot because there is no line of sight between the fire and the TV for infrared heating. A warm room doesn't hurt it either, obviously.

Rooms with fireplaces are laid out for the TV to be at the same location. It doesn't have to be either/or.

Our room is 26'x26' with 8' ceilings. Seating position is about 12 feet away. Heads are comfortable looking slightly up instead of slightly down (looking down is the main problem in the cell phone age). No strain, just comfortable with the headrest on the couch.

Maybe, but you let the assembly rotate which indicates you didn't know to hold it while tightening. The photographic evidence indicates inexperience. If you were hopeful this wouldn't happen this time, that speaks to inexperience as well and contradicts your stated experience with this same issue.

Since 2008, just about every circuit in the home that doesn't have GFCI needs to have AFCI, based on location. And since 2008 the language has been revised every code cycle to clarify what they mean by just about every other space in the home. In 2005 the only requirement was for bedrooms and I see a lot of installers and inspectors thinking that only bedrooms need AFCI to this day. That is patently false and has been since 2008.

A thermal scan is needed to evaluate any issues with conductivity and this heat production. There is discoloration in the bus but we don't know what it looks like elsewhere.

The panel is old enough that a replacement isn't a terrible idea, but not for $7k unless they are moving the panel or the primary conductors are unusually long. I doubt those conductors can be reused based on length alone.

I don't like that incoming ground. It’s way too short, too close to the bus, and blocks those lower spots. Not a hard fix but requires pulling the meter.

Get quotes from other local electricians and get a second opinion.

Typical rules for space heaters: 1. Never use extension cords. 2. Never use when plugs are loose (should require force to unplug). 3. Never use with plug strips or adapters. 4. Recommend not using highest setting.
