All wires pulled!
Well, my installer decided to come back today and finish the job. (Granted I had to get in the attic when it was 80 degrees out to pull the wire.) I just have to drop down 3 wires, finish the termination and patch the walls. Victory is almost here!

Audio System Installed
The system is finally done. (OK, I still have to patch some holes.) I pulled the last wires and terminated the connections. It feels good to finally be done. My wife and I are really going to enjoy the system. Lots of work, but it will be worth it. I've posted pictures of the system all wrapped up in it's temporary home in the gallery. We just have to move our entertainment center into the other room and then I can put all the components in the cabinet.

Rapidweaver 3.2 Public Beta
I just downloaded the new version and must say that some of the changes are interesting. My only real complaint is that their beta feedback requires me to use a forum and post. Can't I just fill out a form? There are a number of issues I've discovered, but right now I'm not inclined to fill out the form. (Removing a blog category screws up every blog entry that is in a category after it; there is no way to rearrange blog categories; the copyright symbol isn't uploading properly even if I replace it with & copy ;., etc.). Hopefully other people will report them. I realize I'm quite a useless tester, but the harder it is for my to report, the less inclined I am to help.

Almost done!
My dad came over today and helped me install 2 pair of outdoor speakers, the control unit for those speakers as well as putting the Sirius radio antenna on the roof. It was an exhausting day, but we now have everything working in all but one room. I still have a bunch of patching to do (and my dad added some stucco patching to the mix), but I can almost taste victory over this project! I have to call the installers tomorrow and find out when they can find time to finish the job they should have finished on Friday. (My dad was quite surprised when I connected the control unit and the speakers worked on the first try. I only had one control module not work on the first try and re-punching down the connections cleared up all the problems.)
