    Re: Exciting news -- Suncoast Audio goes brick and mortar

    Congrats, Mike!

    Agree on the work description. I have been fortunate enough in my life to always work in my hobby. Meaning my only boss has been my wife, Pam.

    Of course since I work in my avocation, it means I can't retire...

    Been there and done that with B&M. Done properly (as I am certain you will), it gives you an even greater chance to make a positive difference in people's lives.

    Go Mike!!!

    I was thinking 6 for each club! I presume you're building out a full service kitchen and running natural gas for the outdoor grill!

    Congratulations, Mike! Brave move but I guess if we keep pushing back our dreams, we may never get to achieve them. All the best.

    Hello Mike,

    It seems that my memo went missing, so I'd then apologize for being late to the party as usual. But would love to extend a heartfelt congratulations to you none the less.

    Enjoy your upcoming venture, and do us all proud as you've in hosting this wonderful forum, in which has always had a nice vibe to it........, and by all means here's wishing you continued success in all of your endeavors.

    Re: Exciting news -- Suncoast Audio goes brick and mortar

    I need to think about this. An old girl friend recently contacted me and she has moved to FL, and wants me to come visit her. Now Mike has a store to also visit. Maybe now I can justify to myself the flight to FL. However, I suspect she has the potential to be much more expensive than any stereo gear.

    Exciting news -- Suncoast Audio goes brick and mortar













    Put in the new kitchen/bar fridge.

    Passed the electrical inspection.

    Drywalling next week (two sheets of 5/8 with green glue in between).

    New ceiling late next week.

    Thanksgiving week has stalled things!

    Mike.......I am happy for you. I always had a little dream in the back of my mind that one day I might own an audio store, but my life took another direction and that tree never bore fruit. I am enjoying your experience vicariously and pleased you are able to turn your dream into reality. I see there's still lots to accomplish but it is looking good.

    Exciting news -- Suncoast Audio goes brick and mortar

    That's great Mike that you're using 5/8" thick gyp board... and times two is even better. I still think the reason my downstairs room sounds as good as it does is because we also used 5/8 inch thick sheet rock..... coupled with full thick insulation in some walls. The insulation was an accident (for a listening room.... and mandatory for the wine cellar perimeter) but I think it ends up helping the sound quality anyhow.

    Good tip Mike. I'm building a house in Sarasota next year. The plans include a dedicated audio/music room.

    Thanks Mike. I really did my homework to ensure I designed and built out all the rooms the best to myself ability. Since I own the building, no sense cutting corners.
