Give 'em Helen!
Okay, let's make this official.
A few years ago, we decided to do a low key home sound/television system. Not too fancy, but speakers throughout the first floor and all the equipment wired in together.
The not too fancy part was the problem. At least a couple of years ago, find an outfit that would do something smallish for a homeowner. We got referred around until we found someone who would do it.
Which was probably our first mistake. It's done, but something is always going wrong. Getting the guy to come out and deal with it is impossible. Doesn't return phone calls (I swear he sees my number on his cell and runs), doesn't return emails. When I finally get ahold of him, he promises to come and never does. It can take a couple of months to get him to show.
So last night we were unable to get any video. I hate having a big, hi-def flat screen television and telling the kids they have to go to the basement to watch television.
We should probably start from scratch, but in this economy? Well, maybe we'd get a better outfit to figure it all out.
Grrrr. Don't know when I'm going to have a working television in my family room again. Never mind all the other little glitches we've been working with.
