Indeedy - normally kick it off at the end of November. If I go any sooner then I get complaints that it’s too soon and there might be more great albums to be released ( even though December only sees the release of crappy Xmas albums by Robbie Williams and the like 
)
Cool; I already know my top 2😉
How’s that possible? Chris Stapleton doesn’t release until tomorrow 
Bricks cleaned life back to normal.

Finally start on the building on Monday, the foundations/piers are costing us twice more than we allowed. Ground floor slab scheduled for early January.
God bless those engineers the building could be used for a bomb shelter.

Indeed, but trust those engineers. Foundations, and water proofing, are the two things you must absolutely get right.

Still mulling over my vinyl options. Might start a thread… just worried that @Bevo will join in and start on about a LP12

We’ve got about 40 piers at a depth on 2m. Then it has to be formed with concrete and block work.
Agree re water proofing I’ve seen too many commercial jobs go wrong.

Is it a concrete floor, or a timber floor suspended over the foundation?

Both floors are concrete saves a lot of stuffing around with fire proofing a timber first floor. Ground floor was always concrete.

Haha Pete just got onto this
I’m lining up the responses - give me another few white wines on a hot night and you wont stop me 
I’ll email Harry now and get him to line up a LP12 for you
Trust me - you won’t regret it apart from your hip pocket

Maybe @Pete_the_painter hasnt picked this up yet
Pete - just add the cost of the LP12 to your building cost mate
At the end of the day with the cost overruns it’s a drop in the ocean

I suppose, in simple terms, what TT will get close to the ND555 at sensible money second hand ( or new).

Only one Mike - Sondek LP12 or in a different mode one of the top of the range Rega ones
Silly money yes but until you’ve heard one you won’t believe it
It’s a money pit though , however having said that Harry has just refurbished a mates ( he comes from your hometown and also a Mike) LP12 with the korousel and a lingo 4 PS , tightened it all up and it sounds amazing I must admit . He has Dynavector electronics
It can be done reasonably cheaply

Ha ha - no honestly I’m a tad surprised
It’s all about the dealer and what they can do - Harrys been at it for 35/40 years

One idea is a used Rega Planar 10 if someone is trading in for a Naia.
