Hey dudes. The title of the thread tells you this is the place i go when i'm told off by She who must be obeyed... As you can imagine i now enjoy being told off often, in fact everyday, in fact i can't get anything right anymore!
Many of you would've seen the build of my project in the home cinema diy section. (Titled -'My detached haven')
I've not had an opportunity to do the final pics and quite frankly thought the time it'd take to take pics and upload them i could use that time to do something a little different. So here it is... A Video ( a first on here) of my project.
Like many of you i was fascinated by the Grand AV designs project started up on here with Phil Hinton. Unfortunately we've not seen many more. I decided therefore to produce my own. Here's my little effort, hopefully it'll show up and be enjoyed by at least a few of you! It took just over an hour to prepare and doesnt actually look so bad! The music works well too. Note however that black levels in the video are in no way representative of the excellent black levels i'm achieving with the projector.
I'm hoping to start another thread here in due course where we could all contribute our videos which are far more entertaining than pics alone (I'm sure you'll agree.)
Enjoy... and pardon my discrete mini guest appearance at one point which in hindsight was a little silly but hey ho!

Right folks, project is now finally complete.. err well apart from painting the PJ box but that wont take long.
Here goes:
Rear view from the right. Curtains closed. Looks very theatre'ish me thinks
Here's a couple of the new seating arrangement having built a riser and added more comfy sofas
A few shots of movies running with curtains open:
lights turned down low..
Abit of microwave popcorn to munch on during the feature presentation - 2 mins in a micro and job done! A dash of Tabasco sauce, quick shake and you have pop corn with vaa vaa voom!
Another quick shot of the theatre
The electric curtain rail is working fine. Not too noisy at all. Definitely adds to the wow factor! I wont be adding a video just yet. It'll feature at some stage over the next couple of months.
I think i can now finally say.. (despite still having to give the pj box a lick of paint) Job done! As i said once before some years ago.. "I love it when a plan comes together"
