FYI - Casa of DJ Wave sprung a leak, big leak (in my best donger voice) effecting 3 rooms, the Studio, Bedroom and Living Room...so under construction we go...now here's the good thing the HOA needs to pay for the repairs, so I am under their thumb when it comes to how long this will take. Let's hope it is completed by end of April.
