After using this forum area for ideas I thought I should post my small project. This is my first home cinema effort and am quite pleased with the results and have learnt a lot for next time :devil:

This is a Samsung 40" 1080p, HTPC, Sony BluRay S350, Jamo 5.1 surround speakers, Onkyo 507 amp and QED micro cable. The picutre and sound are good and everything needed signing off from the wife before installing so not everything the way I wanted it :grin:

Completed images to come and I welcome comments and feedback....

I'm already quite a way through the design phase, many thanks for the quality advice from this forums, especially elootos Media Center House on which my design was based (and also the primary reason I managed to talk the wife around) but here are a few photos of what things looked like up to now.

I marvelled at the installations here and got bitten by the bug.

I do not regard myself as DIY savy but being a yorkshireman I'll have a go at owt.

So here are the results.

42"" Toshiba LCD £500
Samsung HT-X725 5.1 £240
Next gloss media bench x2 £250 each

First off, a wide shot (actually 17 photos glued together). The art on the wall is made from a photo mural (wallpaper) and some box frames I made myself... material cost only £105! :smashin: I do love me a bargain!! More pics & info on how I did it here and here.
The curtains hide two sets of French doors that open out on to a balcony over my favouite street in our lil' town :)

And last but by no means least, some more of my wonderful toys :)

We built our house this year, 5 bedrooms (1 being used as playroom) and its lovely, not quite finished but finished enough for just now, Everything is still a bit bland but the 6 month snagging still to do (hopefully beginning of year and not before xmas) so will re decorate after that.

We mainly use our family room for telly watching, Its a sony bravia 46".. dont ask me which model, its 100Hertz thats all I remember and I cant see the code on the telly so ? (the husband would know probably lol) Anyway its wall mounted and all the cables run under the floor through the room, through the kitchen & into the cupboard in utility room where the skyhd box & blue ray player is. To change the channels we use a magic eye thingy, practically invisable on the telly itself & works a treat, to use blueray controls we have to go through and point at machine but to be honest we dont use it too often & when we do its normally on till end of film so doesnt cause us a problem. this set up , not very hi tech or technical to you guys probably but works brilliant for us. This sky box also provides us with telly to our bedroom & bathroom upstairs & play room & lounge(we have a separate dvd player in our bedroom though and the telly is in the middle of our very large wardrobes so when not watching the doors are closed & you cant see it... perfect ! , this was the second option as originally hubby was going to have one of those hoists that come down from ceiling but because of the way our joists run this wasnt possible in our particular bedroom).. all of which can be changed via magic eyes (well not the bath telly but they wouldnt dare change it if i'm watching corrie in the bath! ). We also have a second multiroom box which is actually in the loft but very easy for us to access ! This provides telly to the kids rooms & spare bedroom & again works fine for our humble selves. (exept when 1 child changes the channel that the other child was watching in their other bedroom LOL)

We only took delivery of our lounge telly yesterday, picture & sound looks ok when we switched it on, its one of those new samsung slim led things... again husbands choice, i wanted a panasonic or another sony but oh well never mind.

Our new dilemma is the lounge telly isnt going to look at all right in the planned corner we had for it, fortunately we havent yet bought a unit etc and I am now pushing for us to look into having it mounted above the fire but this isnt without issues owing to the type of fire we have.

Thats about it, Ive seen brilliant pics on this forum.. some of your stuff is amazing & i'm sure we'll pick up good tips.

My folks have recently bought a bungalow for there retirement home and i

Ill say now there is alot of work to be done on this place
(i.e. strip everything out and strip it back to basics and start a fresh)
Obviously there is alot more stuff i would have loved to have done with the place but as its not mine ive got to go with my folks ideas.
Here goes. Ill try do this is in sections, from old to latest pics.
Hopefully by the end of it there will be a nice looking bedroom with 5.1 and a 1080p projector :)

Front of the Bungalow

Back of the Bungalow

Few weeks after we bought the place a big hole appeared in the front garden

[U]Quick call to the Coal Board[U]

Quickly followed by a fair bit of digging

Glad to report that the hole was filled in and all is well now :thumbsup:
