I'll only charge $100 or $120 for this restoration, as it shouldn't be that much work. I have found four corners in need of minor to major repair, and two bottoms that will require just regular old sanding and oiling. I let the owner of the Acoustic Research AR-3as know that his speaker are ready for pick-up. He is going to come by Sunday at around Noon to take them away. That's what quite the restoration! It's still 101 F here at 6 PM, so I'm going to visit the pool. I am done being "productive" for now. How has your day been?

@Deepizzaguy It is still under 100 F here today. But it's supposed to make it to 108.

@TheHorse It was warm in Lake Charles thanks to the cloud cover.

It's a labor of love. But you're right. I could have charged more.

I'm glad the restoration will be easy. I'm glad you went swimming in that heat. It's a good way to cool off.

It was 100 here today. We stayed inside except to go check the mail. Glad you were able to get some restoration work done today. Your prices seem very fair.

My day was okay. Just working on here mostly. Our temp here is 94. Way too hot for me. What are you going to do with your speaker money?

"Business" is quieter than it was 10 years ago. But I think I am the "go to" guy in the Bay Area right now.

A spell in the pool sounds good with the temperature still at 101F at 6pm. Does it eventually cool off overnight?
