Gotcha. I agree that there is a right way and a wrong way to do lighting. Most people do it wrong. One house around the corner has about 150 under eave lights and it's lit up like a prison. I'd be raging if I lived across from them.
It seems like the pants need a stripe, but maybe that makes them look too much like a throwback. Also the old brand will always be superior. I can't complain though. I like these so much better than what we've been wearing.
Yeah it never went completely out. We had a transformer go down last week with the storm that blew through that left us without power for about 8 hours. Maybe this was a lingering issue there.
Yep. I think the Miele and Bosch models are both the smaller European designs too so I would think they are easy to swap out. The American models are a little larger.
Yeah I'd like to use steel 4x4's with wire cable and make them retractable. A project for between Summers because I ain't digging post holes out there right now.
I rarely ever post on your football board because it's the second worst board on Surly behind CR. The only reason I do on this thread is because it is literally about us as a Big 12 left behind. Makes you wonder why you're posting on a thread that has nothing to do with Texas? But keep up with that narrative as though you somehow own every thread on Surly. There are actually a huge number of great posters on here with a huge number of interesting topics. Sorry you two are not either in that group.
