Now it's COMPLETE!
Finally, my basement is done. Yesterday, they installed the mirror and fixed the ugly plate/hole in the wall.
So now I'll finally pay the last $1000 and be done with it. Hooray!
We (meaning my wife) has put some time into moving and organizing all of the stuff we had temporarily installed upstairs and the storage room is looking great! I have a mess of cables and speaker wire to organize, but then that will look good as well.
Now if I can just find the ground loop problem that is causing that low hum in the subwoofer...
