Yeah that came up in the inspection. They're an asphalt-asbestos combo that were laid in the mid-'50s, but unless I'm dying to rip them up they're (allegedly) safe, according to the group that tested them. I think the floor's awesome though, I'll keep them until I can afford to safely remove them.


Thanks! I'm glad y'all like it. I don't have a picture of the kitchen and floor handy, but the floor and blue continued all the way into the living room. Even the ceiling was a light shade of blue (you can't tell in the photo because it's overshadowed by how blue the walls are), and painting it was a nightmare.



Here's the living room now.



I think it looks like the cafeteria for a regional government building. Your kitchen and living room look like a county DMV or perhaps the waiting room in the Dayton Ohio office of the department of transportation. In any case, if you ask me, it isn't a good look.

I got a new coffee table. I'm not actually moving for another month, but the thing was on its way out of stock, and I didn't want to wait and hope that something I liked as much would turn up at the same price later.

I disagree, it's not too bad, definitely not as bad as the cabinet and wall colors that were replaced. I don't think I would install something like that in my own home, but it is definitely more interesting and unique than some boring carpet or something.

Basically every day I'm buying drywall or faucets or some tile, none of it particularly nice or interesting considering the locale and price of these houses

"The key consideration is that your turntable should be as level as possible; this keeps the stylus from applying uneven pressure to your records. In addition, avoid stacking your turntable directly on top of another electronic component, as this can lead to electrical interference that degrades the audio signal."

Says WikiHow, so who knows if this is actually true.

Marantz receivers are the business. On a related note, picked up some LP's from the local swap meet.

Preferably not, especially if it's a flimsy modern one (no none of them are unflimsy) because you don't want any unnecessary give on the thing the record player is resting on.

I bought a used calculator for 7,50€. When I turned on it showed me a loving menu instead of going into "let me calcule things for you" mode. This is poo poo.



e: It's extremely clean though. I doubt it's ever been used. And the buttons are nice and big.
