Strange day
I have been taking pictures of the conversion an old kitchen into my "media room" aka my "Man Cave".
I had to cease work on my garage to photo studio come workspace conversion as SWMBO decided that works and remodelling inside the house was top top top priority. I agreed that was OK but I was going to take the old kitchen for me and she could have her office in a newly walled in but windowed corner left over after creating an en suite shower room from a dead space on the top lamdind.
Anyway today was wire up my cave day with the av/sound system so I knuckled down but did take a few pictures of the start point as my electrician put the finishing touches to the socket faceplates. The new plasterboad on top of the soundproofing and insulation of the exterior wall had created a probleem with reusing the old sockets as the electric cable was a tad short. Sparks sorted it. I managed 3 Pictures, none particularly special.
So finishing for dinner at 7pm SWMBO gave me the 3rd degree on what I had done as she could not see any difference from when she left to go to meetings (so that big black box is a sub-woffer and that bundle of HDMI and cat 6 cables on various parts of the new cabinets etc just appeared a la Star Trek?)
"Well let me see the pictures tben..... it will make it clearer..... and where have you hidden the beer bottles"
At which point.... 50D staring at me from workdesk from within a circle of NAS drives I have moved from their old residence. Her response...."Well if you are serious about your reportage", you will have to undo all you have done and start again.
I think I must be the downtrodden as thats what I did and still am. Well only so far.... The pictures are building up and as I started after midnight..... they count as TODAY....Thursday.
I should have it all back in place by 02:30.
I will have my revenge on her in this life or thr next (going all Gladiator now).
I am tempted to TEST the 5.1 soon. Not sure if modern amps 'clip' or not?
Ah well I have found her Orange Chocolate Digestives hidden in thd fridge..... Revenge. Saying that I should acknowledge that the error was mine and she did spring for a couple of Sonos goodies...
I will try to continue my photography after I get out of bed....this afternoon. Early retirement has its priveliges!
Women are definitely wired differently to us guys. I foresee a bit of time before her 'sewing room' will be ready all the same. Picking her flooring will take her forever......
