We're finishing up a new home build and I've ran a pull line through a smurf tube that runs from our exterior to my network closet. I've been told as long as I do this they will install the ONT box in my network closet.

My question is what site outside my house where the smurf tube is. Do they have some sort of termination box for the fiber coming from tht ground? Do I need to provide something here?

Thanks

My wife and I are moving into our new home. We are excited but at the same time we are going from a dedicated theater room setup in current home to this situation here (see pic). In our current setup I had some Monitor Audio speakers, 7.1 surround & 120" screen. The sound was the best part of this room. Anytime I had company over this was what I wanted to show off. We sat about 11 feet from the screen, had the rear surround about 7ft behind. All in all it sounded great. I'm not an audiophile but loved it.

Now, we have this as a "mini theater". Honestly it's just an extra room that I have zero clue what to do with. It has no windows so I figured why not try for a mini theater room. I really want to do a minimalist setup due to the size. I would probably go w/ a 65-75" TV at max, wall mounted. I was considering going with Monitor Audio in-wall speakers. Is this over kill in this area? Will I even experience the surround speakers? We'd literally be sitting at the rear speakers and the surround (L, R) would be some what close to them too. I tried to sketch up a little scenario of what I had in mind.

FYI - We had a small change to this plan. The red rectangle at bottom left is where the door initially was but that is now closed off and just a wall. The green rectangle is where you come upstairs to enter area (no door for now, we may do a pocket door). The blue arrow is to just indicate that this room is now swapped around (TV is on the other side, couch would be where TV showing, etc)

Blue squares are in wall speakers, red circle is sub. I prewired these areas just in case.

Would love any feedback! Is this workable, stupid, waste of money? The two bedrooms you see are not used by people regularly. One is workout room, other is guest room.

I keep seeing people say they are the same company and pretty much the same jack shaft openers but in my research on the RJO101MC vs 98022 I see the Chamberlain in a direct drive and in my eyes that is a big difference if the Liftmaster isn't.

Any feedback there? Thanks!

Hello,

Would like to keep budget per light around $50 or less. These are for soffit locations around the exterior of the house. I need them to have a black trim option, 2" and dimmable works with Caseta and canless/retro fit.

I do see Halo LCR2 has a black trim option that you need to order separate. Is this my best bet in my budget?

Thank you!

Curious is there any concerns with some rain in less than 24 hours during initial coat of stucco? I believe this is a three layer process so this is the first part(after the wire mesh). They started a few areas yesterday and then we got some rain today. Just a curious homeowner. Thanks!
