Access/Use Restrictions-Listening Room

As I was in the listening room, cleaning this morning, I thought of this idea for a thread.

Do you have any restricted access/use rules for your listening room?

We have only ONE *no house cleaners*

And before you get too huffy, like we're rich or something and have FiFi, the upstairs maid here everyday…. We're not and we don't, even though my husband would probably be open to that idea. :-)

We have them come in 2X/month to do the heavy cleaning - floors, baths, ovens, etc. It's well worth the few bucks they charge to have that time back in our busy lives.

*Tip for you husbands - would make a most excellent present to your wife. (and do it for no reason, don't wait for a birthday or anything). Guaranteed to get lots of mileage out of that one.*

Anyway, we made that decision when they were here once (I was working at home that day) and they bumped one of the Apogee Stages, knocking it off the stand flat on it's face - WHAM!) In the process, yanking the amp off the stand (that IC just made it) and bending one of the posts. As she stood there, thinking no big deal, I was freaking out! Luckily, no harm done. But lesson learned; these folks have no clue about how to behave around expensive gear and the thought of a vacuum cleaner bumping the speakers THEN trying to put it back so no one would know…… we come home, turn it on - POOF !

So……….guess who gets to clean it? At least we know everything will be ok afterwards.

No restrictions, but our Music room is for music. It is a seperate room with french doors to close it off from the rest of the house. I listen, no talking of noise allowed! My 18 year old does his homework with the stereo on (if I'm not listening). My wife cranks it with her Prince or who ever when I'm not home. My 16 year old daughter uses it only when she wants to hear the music, her boom box is fine with her. My 14 year old handicapped son loves classical music. He and I listen together, he seems to have a whole new level of mussle control with classical music playing, VERY COOL!
I was cleaning the music room last week-end and thought about writting regarding the effects on the sound after taking the dust out. I wonder if anyone is really that anal. I also do 90% of the cleaning, so no problems here.
Great tread Angela, J.D.
