Stubbs Basement Walkthrough

We met with Allen to walk through the basement today.

He marked out the places for speakers, etc. for the media plan we had put together earlier when we met with him back in February.

Should be a pretty sweet setup when it's all done.

Stubbs Walk Through

I met Allen Stubbs to do another walk through today. Scott couldn't make it this time, but it was pretty easy.

He brought the floor plans from our previous meeting where we had determined where we wanted to rough in our cable outlets, phone outlets, speakers, central vac, security, etc.

Allen's experience was evident and he made some good recommendations. He also said that thinking everything through beforehand had helped us.

We will haven't decided what exactly we will trim out in terms of audio-visual, but it's all going to be roughed in at least.

Stubbs Communications: 2nd Meeting

We went back to Stubbs today to see the package and options Allen had put together.

First phase: rough-ins. We went ahead and signed off on these today, because we know that no matter what we end up finishing, we would like to have all of the wiring roughed in, so that we can add anything in the future. It just makes sense to rough it in now, while the house is being built.

Second phase: We need to decide what options we want to finish now. This includes speakers, audio, video, home theatre, security, controlled lighting, central vac, etc.

The elements we decide to add here will be based on budget of course, but I was content with the choices he gave us. They seem fairly reasonable and I know that whatever we put in will be put to good use. We will decide on details of phase two in the next couple of weeks.

Allen is a good salesman and I would have loved to sign off on all of it today.

Stubbs Communications

Today we met with Allen Stubbs of Stubbs Communications (www.stubbscommunications.com)

Stubbs Communications provides professional pre-wire solutions for HDTV television/satellite outlets; telephone/fax & computer networking; home theatre, surround sound and whole house audio systems; teledoor & intercom systems; security and digital surveillance systems, and offer a full line of custom designed and installed audio/ video components.
I thought his demonstrations were fascinating.  His explanations of the various components were very helpful, without being too complicated for someone like me, who has no experience with these systems. 

After the tour we sat down to look at floor plans and discuss what we need in our home right away, as well as what we wish to have in the future, but will need to wire for now. 

Allen said he would take a week to get back to us with a quote.  He will price out wiring costs only, as well as complete installation costs, and then we can decide, based on budget, what we want to add now and what can wait and be added later.  I am eager to see what options he comes back to us with.
