  1. so I was bummed about not being able to get in on the gopro deal on woot the other day.

    On the contents list it says flat surface mount. Can anyone tell me what that means? double sided sticky tape, suction cup, ???

    This seems to be a very good deal on this camera. It makes me wonder why would they drop the price so much, are they doing away with this line?

  2. Anyone else catch Sutt's commercials last night about DirecTV pullin' the plug on FX?

    Yeah I sure as hell did. That's the same reason I switched from Dish to Direct last year. Dish was dropping all FX networks. Now Direct is pulling the same BS but I'm still locked into my 2 yer commitment. ARGGH!!!

  3. (threadjack)

    So I assume you had to move them too? Any input on this that hasn't already been mentioned?

    My post at AFJ:

    Moved a ton as well. I read through your thread on AFJ. A few things to consider. used tubs are always heavier than new ones since they have had water in them (try as you may, it is nearly impossible the get 100% of the water out) and the wood skirting and the insulation has absorbed some water, the water remaining in the lines all adds up to extra weight. The way we moved most were on their sides. Get the power disconnected, stand it up on its side on an old piece of carpet and slide the carpet to wherever you need to go. Also used 1 1/2 inch PVC sections and did the pyramid roll a few times as well. On the deck, if you can’t get the railing off and replaced after you move the tub, try the stairs. Not the easiest, but definitely been done before. Once it’s on its side and you’re able to move it around, you would be surprised where and how you can move it. We had custom built dollies with pneumatic tires that we used once the tubs were on the ground. It's hard to tell what kind of tub that one is, but the better ones have foam filling the entire cavity between the skirt and the shell. This adds rigidity to the unit so it makes it easier to move. Our crews usually consisted of three guys. When it goes on a raised deck like that one, we used a couple more. Anything more than that and it was too crowded and made it more difficult. Cranes are applicable as well, we took one off of a 9th story balcony downtown once. Lifted one over a house in Clintonville so the guy could put it in his courtyard. Its surprising where some people want these things. If you have any detailed questions shoot me a PM, I will be glad to help in any way I can.
