Sony x900H and Sonos

Posted by Shackleford on 11/27/20 at 12:41 pm

I'm upgrading my TV/surround sound setup in the living room. I'm looking at the Sonos Arc and sub, but I have to get a TV with the eARC output. Looks to me like the Sony X900H has an update that supports this, but I couldn't find a definitive answer. Does anyone have the X900H and can verify th...

Full point PPR. Had Gordon in no doubt but looks like Guice may get the bulk of the work for Washington. Thoughts anyone?...

Phillips Hue Lights

Posted by Shackleford on 1/13/19 at 8:45 pm

I'm looking at getting some Hue lights for my house. Where is the best place to get the best price per bulb? I've checked on ebay and the bulbs are a little cheaper than I've found elsewhere online. Is there some sales throughout the year to lookout for or just slowly buy bulbs when replacing old...

re: OT engineers: how early did you start studying for the PE?

Posted by Shackleford on 6/28/17 at 10:28 am

I did not take the testmasters class but everyone I know that took it passed the PE. I started studying about 2-3 months before the exam, but only on Sundays. I had a few books and concentrated on highlighting/tabbing the books so I could quickly find the information. I also had 3 ring binder...

re: Pics added. Looking for suggestions on a creek crossing

Posted by Shackleford on 5/31/17 at 12:44 pm

Concrete mats that let the water flow over the top without eroding would be ideal. Contech makes some armorflex mats for this purpose. You can't just set the mats on the creek bottom. You need to dig out the upstream and downstream limits and bury the ends. [link=(http://www.conteches.com/Know...

re: What is the town of Corinth, Mississippi like?

Posted by Shackleford on 4/28/17 at 10:27 am

If you are wanting more of a vacation, don't stay in Corinth. Like other, Florence has more options for you. There is a ton of places to visit within an hour of Florence that relate to history. I live in Muscle Shoals, across the river from Florence, and my parents live in Iuka, east of Corin...

re: Airport looking to shift Plank road 1/4 mile

Posted by Shackleford on 2/3/17 at 7:56 am

The problem is not having enough room at the end of the runway. BTR currently has an EMAS system that cost millions of dollars and has to be replaced every few years. Over the long haul, the cost of relocating Plank Road will be less than continually replacing the EMAS system....

Posted by Shackleford on 9/28/15 at 1:58 pm

You don't have to buy the land. I'm assuming if they are giving you part of the property, then you will have a revised deed with the land in your name. Just get a right of way agreement with the family. You will have to pay a registered land surveyor to draw it up and sign it to have it recorded....
