Well I thought I would start my own thread as Im on my way to starting my own H/C..
First up I was going to get a installer to do it for me but a couple of houses that I wanted to buy each having a room to convert fell through..
So my other half spotted a house she liked the look of and off we went what she forgot to mention is that it was above budget. Well long story short we ended up buying the house and completing within 3 weeks!!!
Now being so over budget means I have to have my H/C in the living room as well as my stereo system which consist of Dali helicons 800, T+A v10, sonos connect, beresford bushmaster, sony Hap-z1es, project rpm4,
My new cinema kit so far consist of Epson TW9100, Pioneer lx85, lumagen xs3d, oppo 103d, and on order a 2.35 draper 2.1 react. This will be 6-8weeks delivery. The screen could only be 7ft wide because of the dali's would of gone bigger otherwise. And had to be react 2.1 because the room can be really light because it leads into the conservatory. I still have to sort some speakers out...!
Oh this thread will be a slow burner so please check back for updates as Im having work done in other parts of the house and in the garden and most of the work will be done by my older brother and father in law when they have a few hours here and there.
So today work begun on a shelf above the bifolds out into the conservatory for the projector to sit on this took over 6hrs for my brother to make with some brackets and mdf.. sorry about the pictures taken with my phone my dslr battery as gone kaput on the move... The shelf measures 9ftx16"x4" which is 2.8x41x10 ish
You can just see the brackets to the shelf I think he used 9 in the end..!
Yes nine.. A bit of a overhang on each side. You can just see the spirit level was well used today! You can just make out my vt55
I was not watching the tv or playing with a toy truck for the day.! I have a little 16mnth old boy! Truth..lol oh and the vt55 getting in on the shot!
A lot of the time was taken with trying to get it all straight along the edge of the door frame.. Had a slight mishap one of the screws hit another and bent off and came out the bottom you can just make it out just to the left.
Have to excuse all the washing we have a new tumble dryer to install in the utility room but its the only tumble dryer that needs to be plumbed into cold water!!!! this is being done tomorrow so with the sun out we been catching up on some drying time!!..
Will update later!
Let me know your views on shelf guys or any advice on cable runs etc..
