I work for Blackwater Integration (not that Blackwater). We install broadcast system and audio systems for whoever's money is green. Mostly college/pro arenas and churches.
You guys have some cool jobs. I make people clean up their property for a living. Some people love me, some hate me. Just depends on which side of the letter, or fence, you're on. This was by far my biggest project. It's a school built in 1912 and added to in the '30's but has sat vacant for the past 12 years, vandals love it, all 68,000 sq ft. It has been purchased and should become a new state of the art children's psychiatric hospital.
I also love it when someone can spend over a mil to buy something that should be dozed and turn it into a showplace. Before
