Hi guys
i had a thread here:
http://www.avforums.com/forums/memb...y/1578211-new-house-new-diy-cinema-space.html
but due to lack of funds etc all my plans for a massive lounge extending into garage has had to be put on hold (until i manage to rustle up about £12k!).
in the mean time i will be modifying & decorating our existing lounge, so ive started a new thread and will close the old one (it started getting confusing)
here are the new plans:
we have bought the 2 new black leather recliner couches. will arrive next friday!
we have bought the doors (oak) and oak skirting and oak architraves for fitting next tuesday/wednesday. also the timber laminate floor will be going down then. we went for laminate as it was much cheaper than oak and much more hard wearing. we went for a very high quality one and the boards we have through do look like wood, even from 30cm away, so we are very impressed!
last weekend we built and erected the 5m wall of shelving. which had to be modified last minute as i forgot to make space for the wife's books! (damn! )
purchased 3 x (2440 x 1220 x 18mm sheets of MDF) and had B&Q cut them to size. all i had to do was screw together and get on the walls. which was easier said than done due to them being quite awkward to move around. but for under £50 i think its pretty decent! also wired 5m of LED colour changing lights from the side lights.
this weekend im channelling cables into walls and running network to the office at the back as it gets terrible wifi due to double walls. also building the false wall/tv unit which should be fun. the cutting plan took a while! i have to move some power sockets which could be a pain in the bum though...
then painting and ready for floor and doors etc to be fitted. it SHOULD all be done by next friday!!! (hopefully)
still undecided on the sub placement. the couches are a little different to those in the drawings as we had a budget issue and couldnt justify £2.5k on 2 couches. managed to get 2 for £600 in a special sale locally!!! bargain!?!?! they are recliners too!
paint will be wickes purple (cant remember name) but after 7 testers we arent happy with the lighter wall colour so more pots needed!!!!
the TV unit section will be purple too! its just white to help me see everything!!!!
