I wouldn't bother. What you see is AFTER we've sanded it down.

spenserh thanks for moving me to this post. Sounds like I've got some work to do to speak to some people.

How would CB forums move forward? What advice would you give? Our facility is about a year old. In that year our new maso floor has been painted twice and sanded down before the second painting (of Sherwin Williams paint) bc it pulls up in chunks after use. We've had rentals come in and we've...

answering my own question for posterity! First of all, don't try to fix this problem during a tech rehearsal when you can't see and have little patience. A few minutes into the menus and I discovered instead of keystone I can use quick corner and it maintains the shape of the image without...

Hi there, We have an Epson powerlite 2165 that we need to move a few times during a production. We use a/v mute and have it spiked so it rolls on and off stage to the same location each time we bring it back on again. I'd like to turn off the auto keystone or whatever feature is making it try...

@teqniqal Thank you. I've got some investigating to do on the actual antenna location and the cabling used. I appreciate you walking me through that. @RonHebbard that's fascinating...and I could absolutely see happening if the right oversight isn't there!

Which transmitter and receivers do you have? Great questions. I don't know on the transmitter. We have the LR-300 receivers.If RF, is it 72MHz or 216MHz? 72MHzThe receivers have internal switches for NiMH or Alkaline. Are all of these set to NiMH if you're using rechargeables? set to NiMh...

I am totally aware of the reality that things things may never get used, but town meeting brings out the curmudgeons and they make requests that, when not fulfilled, go onto social media and slam the new space, tax payer's money wasted, blah blah blah. Not that I care a lot, but I do care enough...

Hi there, We are a new space in a high school, and I'm the part time TD. As part of the design spec for the proscenium we got all sorts of goodies, NIP. It's a beautiful thing. The one---and ONLY---thing not in the package was the 40 ListenTech ADA approved audio packs for our hard of hearing...

Brilliant! Is there a video for that? ;)Of course it does. That's a trick I'm going to employ. Thanks!

Thanks for this enlightening discussion. We are a brand new space with brand new cables, with a rotating staff of MS and HS students. I think teaching them how to properly coil cable is going to be a life-long lesson (well, for me as the teacher). But this got me thinking about all those other...

I think this is exactly where we are right now, and where we will end up!Joe: thanks for the detailed inventory of how you spend your time.I think what I've gathered from this, without even thinking about my original question is, this is not a job I should do alone! The budget piece is...

Hi there...I intentionally left it a little vague b/c I didn't want to give too much info then get no responses. Considering you had no idea what my job description is, you did a damn good job with your suggestions and input. Thank you for that! I hear you on the salary vs hourly bit. I am...

@RonHebbard Thank you for taking the time to post that. Is there anyone in the theatre world who is really great at saying no to their employers? I took notes on your experience. I will document my hours. I have been doing a little bit here and there, but I will be sure to be stricter about it...

Thanks for your detailed response. I wonder if things like creating policies and procedures are going to disappear once we create them. For example, I need to create a procedure for organizing audio cable by length. Another example, creating an evacuation procedure.I'm 20 hours a week this...
