Hey everyone,

Looking for advice on how to mount a folding squat rack into a brick and mortar garage wall without fucking it up beyond repair.

We’re renting, and the new place has a garage wall that looks like this. It’s old brick, probably 50 years plus, and I would like to mount the rack on the wall without leaving lasting damage, or in a way that is easily patchable.

Has anyone done this before?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently a Program Controller/Scheduler with 7ish years of experience in the career.

Ive been working in aerospace for the past 5 years and have no construction experience, but I’ve been the lead for my site for the past 3 years, working with Microsoft Project on multiple $100+ million programs utilizing earned value.

I’ve been debating a transition to construction for several years now. I have wanted to support renewables, nuclear, or large building or infrastructure construction for a while as I don’t really want to be in aerospace much longer.

I definitely would need to learn the specifics of the industry and tools, but hopefully with my background and knowledge I could ramp up quickly and become a productive member of the team in a short while. Or maybe I’m underestimating the learning curve for construction in a scheduling role.

What would the career prospects be for someone in my position looking to switch? Experienced in scheduling concepts and Microsoft Project as the main scheduling tool but having no experience in construction and rusty on P6? I currently make $130k in a medium to HCOL city, and it seems like the salary cap for my role in a construction field is higher than aerospace based on what I’ve read on Reddit. But maybe that’s just Redditflation.

For $350, I’m looking at a list of what seem to be great condition set of:

- 2 SP-FS52
- 4 bookshelfs SP-BS22A-LR
- and the center channel SP-C22

Without the sub, is it worth it for that price? I know these are 15+ years old at this point, but I don’t know much about speakers and their life spans.

I would be using it for a home theater system in an 800sq/ft carpeted basement. I wouldn’t need to fill the whole basement with sound, just the tv viewing area.

Also, if I do get this, and I want to run just a 5.1 system, what would be a cheap but good sub and receiver to pair this with?

Thanks ya’ll, I used to have a similar set back in college, but again I never really knew much about quality audio equipment so I’m not sure if they hold up over time.
