Later on, talking about low voltage design for Cat6 and fiber drops There are 55 pillars in total, and each pillar is a bit over 3 feet in diameter and goes into the ground a bit over 50 feet. > Due to the design of his house, he had to install bedrock pillars. This is a detailed look at the whole process from plans to excavation to build-out of a veritable fortress. I’m only part of the way through but will read more after the kids are in bed.Ĭalling it a “house” doesn’t seen quite sufficient. To those who might gloss over the link to the build thread - it’s not to be missed. And judging by the timestamps on your first forum post pretty much on/ahead of schedule! )Ĭongratulations on finishing your new home. Keep in mind it is possible in 3 years I figure out I did it all wrong, but that is the fun of home building. I debated a lot about rather to install speakers at all, but I do want to be able to have some housewide paging/notification, and I would rather have each room have stereo speakers in the ceiling ( with a corresponding sub for some locations) then rely on a desk or table held speaker.Īlso, the cost of doing in wall is pretty cheap now if you are building new. The zone splitting just makes it possible to have more granular control over where that sounds is going. The idea of a movable source device makes sense, and I suspect a very common use pattern will be playing something over airplay/airplay2 from a iphone. I suspect it would be rare to have more than 2 or 3 different sources across all of those zones, but it would be common to only want a few specific rooms have sound playing. The HTD system by default can do 12 zones (with as many speakers as you want). Indeed I thought a lot about that while working on the zoning. I bet this has to do with alexa/google assistant/siri integration that is being forced down our throats in all new devices. This was not a pleasant email to read- especially because I don't really want anything more out of the system, particularly the amps- they need to accept a stream and play it, that's it. It may not be for you, but I really enjoy it. Another benefit to Sonos is that its hidden away- the speakers are in the walls, the amps run down to a central cabinet, and in a townhouse that is not small, but still every sq ft counts, this is a big win. I really enjoy it, and its better and cheaper than a receiver in each room, and sounds great. I am not quite as F'ed as others, but those amps are $600 a piece to upgrade, and I have 6 in the house. I now have Sonos amps that connect to speakers in the ceiling. It integrates with my music library, Pandora, sonos, and a bunch of other stuff I don't use. I had a receiver in my old place in my living room, and we were gifted a sonos:1, and the sheer convenience of sonos made us not use our expensive home theater set up in lieu of the $199 bookshelf speaker- and it sounded pretty darn good as well. Its not just a holiday thing, its a friday/saturday night thing, or a Saturday/Sunday day thing, or a work from home thing, if I want some instrumental stuff, and its also going outside. I find it very nice to just open up the Sonos app and I can play whatever I want wherever I want- and can even play different things in different rooms. I guess it depends on whether you really like music.
