My Loft Theatre Project

theatre-aholic · 12-02-2008, 7:35 PM

Hi there! guess you know that i am making a theatre in my loft. Well, i thought i would just keep you lot updated, these updates could be a little slower than they should be because the builder refuses to come, but anyway here we go.

Day 5 (because i wasnt taking pictures until then)

Just a look around the loft, he was putting in the plaster board today.

This is a tank for our boiler, we cant take it out because our central heating wont work so we have to move it somewhere

This is the wall where my tv and things are going to go

Day 7

Now the loft is cleaned up a bit and a bit of the wiring is done, next step is the plastering. Also the water tank has been moved to the corner, and he is going to put chipboard/floorboard whatever on top of the gap.

The bottom thing is for a chrome double dimmer, the gap in the left side is for a wall light. The other one is going to the ceiling light

This is where the ceiling light is going to go, it is going to be a standard 150watt indacandescent thing bulb, you know the big round ones.

Well i will keep updating, but throughout the thread, this post is long enough as it is.

Are those electrical cables behind the metal trunking in the 2nd to last photo? Electrical cables should run vertically- makes it easier not to drill through them when it's plastered over.

I'd remove the metal capping picture, just in case your building inspector is an AV fan. Who is doing the wiring?

Dupe....

You should do more than just remove the capping picture; you should get a competent spark to sort that out. The cables are not positioned in the prescribed zones and are not mechanically protected (capping doesn’t count).

Please don’t take offence as we are only trying to point you in the right direction.
