That'll be the traditional initial oh I thought it looked bigger on paper response. I had the same with my build, but it does seem much better now we are making progress.

I'll be keeping an eye on this one, looks like it will make quitea difference.

Hi TiSwAs,

Looking good so far, keep us posted with plenty of pictures!

I used the same Profigold scart for my install. Tried it out before it went in, and was impressed with the picture, as well as the build quality. Nice solid plugs, flexible flat cable and a sensible price. Good choice IMHO

ATB,

I found it seems smaller than you think until the plasterboard goes up and then for some reason it seems larger again. The builder commented on that too....

Thanks thats good to know

[TiSwAs]

OK little update, building nearly there...

I've have planned a void where i will be installing a 42U rack which will house media server, dvd, amp, etc... which will be hidden

[inzaman]

Its good to see it now taking shape

[Dr Force]

Your right it is pretty similar to our proposals, except we have put a gable style roof on the front of ours.

Looks like things are moving very well and you will really enjoy it all when its done

Looking good, quick question if you don't mind... It looks roughly the same sort of dimensions we were thinking of adding on, but it's tricky to tell from pics. Kinda single garage sized ?

[TiSwAs]

Hi the front part of the extension is 3mx4m then we have a kicthen part which is 2mx2m...

Cheers

[lone ranger]

looking good to me....you know the old saying size dont always matter

anyway once the lights are off in the dark room,what difference will it make.

keep up the good work.

[TiSwAs]

Plasma ready to hang

Screen boxing

42U Cabinet void

Hi there,

That looks fantastic.

My room is going to be 5m x 3m so will be sort of similar is size.

Can you answer a few questions for me on my thread ??Help please

Also do you have any pictures of the room without the plasterboard & with the cable runs ?

Your input would be gratefully appriecated.

Thanks

[TiSwAs]

I don't have any pictures as i cabled the room the night before i went on holiday, was up till 3am sorting it then off skiiing the following day at 9am.... plasterer came just as i was leaving so had no time to take pic's....

Will have a look at your thread

[TiSwAs]

During my extension build I thought i would be a good idea to wire the kitchen up for media.

PC -
Dell GX240 P4 1.8Ghz
512mb Ram
300gb Hard Disk
USB Wi-FI
DVD-ROM

Amplifier - Kenwood 3020 (it's old but it does the job nicely.)

Monitor - 19" Viewsonic VX924 (will be replaced with LCD TV)

Cat5e Wired
Coax from Skybox to LCD


Speakers 2 x KEF Ci130QR's - Unfortunately during the build i lost the grills
