that is exactly what I was thinking. When the original question was asked:

"Why would you need 6 ethernet ports behind the TV?"

I don't think he was asking "do you really have 6 things that require an internet connection" like people seemed to think he was. I'm pretty sure he meant exactly what he asked: why do you need 6 ethernet ports behind the TV? Just go with a switch.

It's for LAN parties and HALO get togethers.

I declare jbrick the winner of this thread

Everyone else should burn down their home in humiliation

A Gig-E switch behind the TV would work nicely, I'd presume. Perhaps one of those 3Com in-wall switches? They only have (4) switched ports though so you'd probably need more than one.

edit: Part of my question honestly was "Do you really have 6 things that require an internet connection behind the TV?" Doing a bit of research I didn't know that so many things have ethernet ports these days. I'm apparently way behind the times.

jbrick's is cool enough, but the fact that its



would just make it too awkward for me to deal with

8/30/2010 2:02:31 PM

Haha...it definitely slopes in some places. Unavoidable on the peninsula.

The first house I rented downtown slanted like crazy. Had trouble moving shit up to 2nd floor because it leaned so hard to the left.

8/30/2010 2:07:15 PM

jbrick your house is awesome. I love the kitchen to pieces. I'm also jealous you're living downtown in my dream city! If you know of any other awesome deals holla at a girl ASAP!

gg

8/30/2010 2:20:56 PM

Bump, because this is actually an interesting thread.

8/30/2010 7:25:10 PM

Summer place.

Still needs a little work, though.

9/7/2010 2:43:18 PM

Here is a picture of the front of my house I just moved into. After we get the inside up and looking good I'll post inside shots.

9/25/2010 9:53:37 AM

Yard was a mess when I first moved in.



I had the lawn and flowers/shrubbery looking awesome right before I deployed. I don't have any pics better than this, though. I'm sure it's all gone to hell after 7 months of mostly being neglected, though.








I wish I had a picture of this vine after it got a lot bigger and started blooming.

living room

Second half of the garage would be much better suited as a gym imo

9/26/2010 1:05:29 AM

then where would he put his jet ski and lawn mower?

9/26/2010 1:10:03 AM

the shed he builds out back

9/26/2010 1:17:25 AM

I already would have built the workshop out back, but I won't be in this house for enough longer to warrant it.

9/26/2010 1:18:36 AM

he just thinks you're fat. That jackass.

9/26/2010 1:24:01 AM

haha

yeah maybe I should set up a home gym

9/26/2010 7:44:57 AM

Got our carpet installed yesterday in our upstairs that we are finishing. When it is complete I will post more before and after photos.

10/15/2010 11:46:06 AM

Do you have a midget roommate?

10/15/2010 11:48:46 AM

lol that is what other people were saying. No it is all storage behind the walls. I put in access doors so it would not be wasted space. My dad and I made those doors from old office and bathroom doors. They are freaking heavy.

Here is a pic for reference

10/15/2010 11:53:56 AM

haha, we have 2 areas like that with hobbit doors in our house as well. I love them. Makes use of areas that would otherwise just be unused.

10/15/2010 11:57:09 AM

We have 6 little doors and then the one big door that has access to the air handler and sub panel.

10/15/2010 11:59:11 AM

If you ever have a party with strippers, hire a few midget strippers to come out of those doors.

It would be cool as shit.

Sorry this was taken with my phone


I need take some more pics and put together before and after for the entire upstairs

12/20/2010 8:56:10 AM

Windows at the ends of pool tables always make me nervous...

It's like someone constantly aiming a rubber band at your eye

12/20/2010 10:59:16 AM

Yeah, we have the faux blinds up now that should help a little bit but we do break away from the window.

12/20/2010 11:11:38 AM

that is awesome scottie!

12/20/2010 11:13:15 AM

Got a new camera for Christmas and took this cool panoramic picture of my house:

12/28/2010 11:12:24 AM

Thats flippin awesome

12/28/2010 11:15:27 AM

I still have some learning to do on the camera. We have a really cool barn to the right next to that chopped up wood but it wouldn't let me go that far. I think there is a setting on the camera I can change to let me make it wider. I will play with it tomorrow

12/28/2010 11:20:34 AM

I love how the DUke also has a silver miata

12/28/2010 11:22:48 AM

I think its an s2000

12/28/2010 11:25:14 AM

i think its a honda S2000

12/28/2010 11:25:26 AM

I figured out how to make it wider so I will take another one tomorrow.

12/28/2010 11:25:47 AM

How much land do you have eternal ?

12/28/2010 11:27:27 AM

7 acres, but about half of that is wooded

12/28/2010 11:29:00 AM

Does jbrick need a roommate? Because that place is sweet and I'm in love with the bicycles. Biking to the bar is the best.

12/28/2010 11:31:09 AM

well, I can definitely see that I suck at decorating my place.

12/28/2010 11:31:19 AM

Double poast. Will add pics of my place eventually.

Probably will after this summer. Roommate "retired" from soccer this year, only to reconsider and will probably be traveling to play for another team next year.

The place has had some slight improvements...mainly a hammock and a couple rocking chairs on the upstairs deck...also the plantation shutters were finally installed. Next step is fans on the outside porches. I'll take some better pictures when I'm done with everything.

Your new job going to relocate you to Charleston?? Female roommates are great!

12/28/2010 3:44:55 PM

did you room with a Battery player

12/28/2010 3:45:48 PM

Yep...he's still here.

12/28/2010 3:55:02 PM

ah cool

a lot of those teams provide housing to players

[Edited on December 28, 2010 at 3:58 PM. Reason : maybe not, that's just what I always thought]

12/28/2010 3:58:24 PM

I wish I could relocate to Charleston. Love that town.

And your bike collection makes me miss my old bike collection. I love some bikes in my last breakup and now I'm down to one.

Either way, great pics everyone!
