Firstly I'd like to thank all other members who have contributed their ideas on the forum. I feel as though that now it's my turn to create my own mancave, I have been given alot of ideas from regularly reading through other members experiences. So I thought I'd log my project from start to finish.
I'll start firstly with the background.
About 12 years ago I had a 2 storey extension built onto my house, that being a garage and bedroom above. Over time the garage just filled with junk and earlier this year I decided to clear the lot out and block up the garage door and fit a window and have the room as workshop. Needless to say it's filled up again with junk! At this point creating a home cinema was not on the agenda......... UNTIL....... I was in town and thought I'd pop into the local AV shop that had just had a refurb. I've purchased items previously from the shop and have always been professionally dealt with. The owner recognized me, we shook hands and he offered me a coffee. It was then that he showed me his new Demo room.......WOW...... I want it!!!!
The next day I dragged the Mrs into town to show her...... She loved it. Luckily, anything that I want to do regarding home cinema the other half generally doesn't mind..... within reason.
I started the project in Sept 16 and as we speak it's still in progress. I anticipate it's finish sometime in Jan / Feb 17. Photos have been taken along the way and will be posted on a regular basis.
So here starts my DIY home cinema build blog......
