yeah, i should just leave the tigers in my bedroom. about the landlord, i misunderstood that whole situation. The lady i was referring to isn't the landlord, it's the current tenant, my girlfriend's friend, who we're moving in with( this house is sick, btw, and we get the master bed and bath. score!) and she was being sarcastic, but i didn't catch the sarcasm when my gf relayed the message over text. also, for a stand, i may go with the cinder block method since i hate the idea of 1000+ lbs sitting on an old wooden stand of which i don't know the history.
Yeah. A lot of cues are lost via text/email. Good score!
I'm looking at building a new stand, too, because I just have this niggling little fear that the MDF my current stand is made of is starting to fail. I have nothing to indicate that that's true, but still, the doubt's there.
