Very handy, thanks.
I am going to be at the store when the delivery arrives tomorrow. I did not make it to your office in time to get
the equipment, but I will talk with the driver and try to make arrangements to reduce the noise as much as
possible under any circumstances - regardless of the law. That is to say, if it is bothering the neighbors, then I
want keep the peace even if I could legally prove that we are within our rights.
Thanks,
Barnaby
