I reading the last theater update that I did on March 27th.  Here is what I listed as goals that I wanted to accomplish: Riser for second row of seating
Paint
Screen-wall treatment (black GOM Fabric)
New carpet
Power-outlet in ceiling next to projector mount
In-wall wiring for speakers and A/V receiver After about a month I have finished… the first item.  Yeah, this process is crawling along, but of the little bit of progress I have made, I am very happy with it.  I got some help from a guy at church that drives a big truck (better than holding plywood down to the roof of a minivan) and owns more tools than I thought possible for one man to own (compound mitre saws kick serious azz).  We knocked out the riser in about 4-5 hours total – where were you and your tools and your truck when we did all of the other stuff, huh?  I would probably be charging people admission by now… Anyway, the riser turned out great, and after a little bit of tweaking in the week after we built it, I am quite happy with the result. I had to ship the projector back to the dealer due to a slight defect (bright corners on the image)… I also decided to pay to have one of their ISF certified techs calibrate the replacement projector for half of what I would have to pay someone here to do it.  Score. I will be ordering these chairs soon.  Unfortunately they won’t be shipped until late June, July, or even possibly August!  But, I simply cannot pass up the deal that I am getting on them, but that doesn’t make waiting any easier. All of my Monster Cable order has arrived, so I can begin wiring soon.  I determined that I don’t need to wire an outlet up on the ceiling by the projector, but simply need something called a power bridge.  It is kind of like an extension cord that can be run through the walls and come out to an existing outlet.  It will actually look like there is an outlet on the ceiling, but it is just a receptacle that is bridged to another outlet.  So I can just do that when I do all of my other wiring. SO, that leaves me with the following to do list: Paint Screen-wall treatment Carpet In-wall wiring / power bridge Wet Bar area The last item I have been doing a lot of thinking and designing… I hope I can get the wet bar (really a dry bar, there will be no sink, just countertop) done for under $2k.  I talked to a guy at work here that ordered 2 wall cabinets from HD and it cost him $1200!  Zoinks!  I’m sure I will post more updates in another month…
