New Office Tour!

Hello everyone, and happy new year!

As promised, here's a tour of the new place. I'm very excited!

The first half of this month is very much a getting-the-ducks-in-a-row endeavor, but it's been smooth sailing so far. Once I get some furniture here, it will come along nicely.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for being here and making this possible. This job has never felt all that real, to be honest, but now - I have an office! It's surprising how much of a difference that is making me feel already.

-Alec

Fantastic! That fantasy of having a lot of space to store stuff and pull it out to work on projects, eh? I get that the less background noise the better for recording but also all the many many many times a podcaster or youtuber said something about the background noise I think the only time I've *actually heard it* is when some emergency vehicle passes by their open window with the sirens on, when it's faintly audible in the background for a few seconds. I'm sure if I put the good headphones on and really listed for the air conditioner I could probably hear it but every time someone asks forgiveness for having the HVAC on I just never feel the need to put on the headphones and turn it up just to prove that it's really running... Other than when you held the mic up to the return vent for the economizer video I've honestly never in any video from anybody heard the HVAC...

My guess is the company dealt with solar panels. China is a world leading manufacturer of them and having those 1kW spotlights would allow you to do power efficiency demonstrations (he said they used it as a showroom so they could have had several models and sizes bolted in at different angles, explains all the holes in the wall) or do diagnostic testing on defective ones (Light of a known brightness should output a known amount of power). Relatively small warehouse needed since they probably only stored a little bit of stock on hand and direct ordered their supply from China.

Please keep the HID lamps!

Wow - so much space! Seeing the car in the back, I think you should consider getting a car lift. They are not that expensive if you buy them used and the floor seems to be useable. Also - if you want a quick "fix" for carpeting the floor, you could use these carpets that are used on exibitions. I used to work at a company that serves smaller and medium-sized events and we threw away so much of these carpets, as every customer (understandably) wants a new one. I think you can get them for really cheap or even for free as they don't have to worry about getting rid of them.

Nice and BROWN!

The bonus room would be a great artificial summer lounge space for when the winter gets too cold and gloomy. Put some tropical landscape wallpaper around the whole thing, lay down some artificial turf and some beach chairs and just sunbathe in 3000 watts of metal halide light all winter. Also, those lights are used for growing so maybe that is what the room was for originally. https://www.growerssupply.com/prod/gs-metal-halide-fixtures/pg112557.html

If I were in Chicago, I would love to help (yes, sadly the world is missed up so trusting someone unknown is risky). Networking is my hobby but alas, I am in PA. Very happy for you in this new space of yours.
