I’ve been 100% P&T for a while but just recently bought a house in Ohio. Since I wasn’t a resident on Jan 1st of this year (fine print says this is a requirement), I’m guessing this year’s taxes won’t be eligible for the exemption at all.
Should I wait until next year to file, say a few weeks into January or should I just stop in and get it done now, will it make any difference?
How are we managing? For the last few nights, it’s all I can hear going off around my house. Should I just throw my earbuds in all day? Curious as to what others are doing to get through the holiday. Don’t get me wrong, I love my country and 250 years should be celebrated… but my fight or flight system just won’t let me relax.
Example—
300 shares of VT
Value when loaned - $47,085
Value when returned - $46,836

You are only being paid interest for the days on loan, correct? The fluctuation in share price is irrelevant?
On the Dolby website, the instructions for 5.1 surround sound lists two pictures. One places the rear speakers slightly behind the user, the other directly to the side. Are both of these positioning techniques acceptable or does one give an advantage over the other?
So i’ve put a lot of money into building up my collection and it’s finally time to set up a legit space to watch them properly. Just moved into a nice-sized apt and have a spare room available.
A/V equipment aside, what kind of stand should I be looking for? I’m going 5.1 and having a hard time understanding how I’m supposed to A) have the center of the TV at eye level and B) have a center channel at ear level. I’d really like to avoid having to mount the TV on the wall if possible, landlord specifically stated only small picture framing nails are to be used on the drywall. The stand my TV comes with doesn’t raise the TV high enough to just slap a center directly in front of it… I thought about using some sort of riser, sit the TV on that… but that would make the TV too high and I’d end up getting bullied. Does this sound like a custom build type thing or do they actually make stands that accommodate a proper setup?
I’ve seen people talk about several methods of savings recently, some seemingly doing better than others. I chose the Partner Store route w/ the free soundbar + coupon code + 2% back from my credit card—making the total $1017.38.
Plan to sell the soundbar for $100 if I can, so $917.38 after all is said and done. Only issue is there’s no extended warranty, only the 1-year standard manufacturer.
There’s still time to cancel if I can somehow get a better deal elsewhere but I’d have to do it soon. I did notice LG is offering $250 gift cards but seems that only applies to higher end models.
In the kitchen, there’s laundry equipment and a pantry behind these doors. Every time I open the left door, it hits the fridge. I’ve never liked these and finally have some time to rip them off and replace. But I’m not sure what to do. Sliding barn door? I’d love a recessed design where it slid into the adjacent wall but there’s electrical in the way. Yet I don’t have much room to spare coming outward or it would impede on the walkway.
What would you do?
Chair is 7’ away from a 65” TV (will be replaced by a loveseat soon). Ignore the dresser, it’s gone. Problem— the door to the room opens right into the spot where one of my rear speakers should be. Now I like having a door but I’m stumped on what to do about this… my only idea is rotating the setup clockwise, but I loose 2’ of length that way. Making the TV too big for ideal viewing distance.
Should I give up on 5.1 and stick with LCR?
Just bought a new place and finally have room available to set up a lil mini-theater. Been dreaming of this day for a while now, hoping I’ll finally be able to get the most out of all the 4k discs I’ve stacked over the years.
Anyways, I’m also a huge music buff and would like to incorporate my record player in with the theater setup, just unsure of a few things. Will I be able to use the same receiver and speakers to play records? Like is the built-in amplifier going to be good enough or will I need an additional amp to power things properly? Don’t plan on going crazy with the audio side for movies, most likely stick to 5.1 for now due to the room size. Maybe down the road, add two overheads, we’ll see.
But yeah, anyone who has done something similar, I’d love to hear about your approach. Possibly what equipment you’d recommend and/or if you’ve found doing something like this to be enjoyable.
Not one, but TWO vinyl drops coming up for this legendary album. Which one would you grab if you could only choose one?

Local contractor installed a box around our spigot. They’re saying it’s supposed to stick out like that… and that outline cut is clearly visible, doesn’t look very professional to me.
Last year, DOTD announced this would be getting a 4k release in 2026. Anyone seen any updates? Well… I’m waiting…
Location: Ohio
Had a small siding and gutter job completed recently and there is all sorts of issues. The gutter has already become loose in several spots, the siding was nailed too tight, etc. It was a small job for 2k, verbal agreement only, no signed contract in place. Half (1k) was paid up front in the form of a deposit.
So far, all I’ve done is draft up a letter stating why I want my money back minus the cost of materials (should be around half the deposit amount).
So I’m going to ask them for $500 back due to the poor work that was done yet they are expecting $1000 more to fulfill the initial quote.
If they disagree with me and demand payment in full, what steps should I take from there? I’m prepared to be taken to court if it comes to that… and the one thing I’d be sure to do prior to the proceedings is get another independent contractor to come out and verify the work wasn’t done properly. On the flip side, if they don’t fuss over the additional 1k I “owe” them, what if they don’t want to pay me back a portion of my deposit as requested? Do I have any recourse?
Appreciate any advice.
This is all I have laying around the house and it’s nice enough weather today that I want to strip and season the newly acquired griddle (previous owner didn’t do a very good job doing it so I want to start from scratch). Will these get the job done for stripping everything off before I reseason or should I make a trip to Menards for something else?
