Have you been to West Texas Paul? I think they’re still in search of vapor in that area!!

It has the opposite effect on me... somehow it almost excites me. Must be why Tron is one of my favorite games... I can almost imagine how most of those wires lead directly to The Grid!!

Was thinking the same thing. I would edit this post immediately and solicit private feedback. And for good measure, rx3 should edit his post to delete the quoted text. Just my two cents worth... maybe I'm a bit jaded.

Edit: you beat me to it on the recommendation to remove rx3's quoted section. We got your back... but not sure everyone on the Internet feels the same.

Well... I'm a curious sort and you may have already done this. But a search of the Midland Tx code turned up the following. I'm not saying this particular instance relates directly to any proposed changes of your property... there may be other code penalties that might apply. NOTE that the penalty says it can be assessed EACH day.

I want to go on record that I am in no way aiding, abetting, or assisting in any alleged violations that may or may not occur.

General penalty; continuing violations.
If in this Code or in any ordinance of the City an act is prohibited or is made or declared to be unlawful or an offense or a misdemeanor, or if in this Code or those ordinances the doing of any act is required or the failure to do any act is declared to be unlawful, then the violation of any such provision of this Code or any such ordinance shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $500.00; providing, however, that any violation of an ordinance governing fire safety, zoning or public health and sanitation shall be punished by a maximum fine of $2,000.00; provided, however, that if the minimum or maximum penalty provided by this Code for any such offense is less or greater than the maximum penalty provided for the same or similar offense under the laws of the state, then the minimum or maximum penalty for violation as provided by state statute shall be the minimum or maximum penalty under this Code. Each day any violation of this Code or of any ordinance continues shall constitute a separate offense.

In any prosecution for the violation of any provision of this Code, it shall not be necessary for the complaint to negative or for the state to prove any exception contained in this Code concerning any prohibited act unless the state is otherwise required to do so by law; provided, however, that any such exception made therein may be urged as a defense by the person charged by such complaint.

Forgive me if you mentioned this already, but what brand/protocol did you go with for the smart switches?

I might be mistaken, but it looks like a silicone band or similar. Been thinking of getting one to replace my tungsten band for just the reason you mention. And less harm to the pins during a slap-save.

Did you already state which rope led light you went with (make/model or website)... would like to do something similar in my shop.

And same question for the brick (wallpaper?)...

Thank you... Everything looks great!!

You’re not alone. I commend Chosen_S for pulling it off with the language barrier, but when I inquired several months ago about the same thing, I contacted Leon and ran into the same difficulties. Shop-cade has been on hold for quite a while, so games are in basement now with no fancy lighting. But if you find anything good, please highlight here (or send PM if it risks derailing this thread).

No worries. I probably didn’t put the effort into it that you did and since my project is on long term hold didn’t really worry about it.

I do suppose that the days of 1-click purchases on Amazon has spoiled many of us (me for sure) when you have to actually research and work a bit to get what you want/need. And tough to find out what you actually want/need sometimes on Alibaba.
