Hi,
We had recently moved house and my wife was kind enough to allow me to dedicate a room to a home cinema. We had a converted cellar in the previous house, so there was a home cinema gap in our new abode. We also had a cellar in our new house but we had enough rooms, so a cellar conversion was not needed. The boss wanted an industrial theme running through the house as it was a converted mill. A brick back wall was asked for but I managed to convince the good lady towards a wooden themed home cinema. I didnt fancy attaching brick slips to plasterboard!
So the long process started of sourcing some reclaimed pallet wood and get started on the Wooden Wall of Woe (abbreviated to WWOW). We managed to get around 250 wooden pallet tops. The prep work took 3 weeks to clean, de-nail, sand, and stain the wood. This is why i named it WWOW!
To get the room as we wanted it we had to get the concrete floor levelled and a few patio door leaks fixed. Since we got the room finished the boss has allowed me to upgrade the AV Receiver to a Denon AVRX2200, Monitor Audio Bronze 6 floor standers, Monitor Audio Bronze Centre and some Onkyo atmos speakers. Needless to say I was spoilt for Christmas!
I also had enough reclaimed wood to build a 9 foot home cinema stand. Having never built one before, I'm pleased that it is still standing!!
The room prior to my DIY attempt
Start of WWOW
WWOW complete and wooden floor down
