Whew, its been a while since I updated this eh! Since the last update we had a water leak that ruined the floor and one wall in the office. That has since all been repaired and remodeled. I also got a new sub, but more on that later. Well I took some quick pics of the room this morning since...

How is everyone doing! So nothing really exciting to update with, but I have been enjoying the hell out of the space! I have been finishing up some smaller projects as well. That and I cleaned everything up for a little memorial day party means its time for an update :) Lets just dive into...

The weekend has passed, and I have most of a "Home Theater" now!!!! Unfortunately I was not able to find my charger for my camera, so you guys have to deal with some crappy cell phone pics still. Chances are I am going to just order a new charger today, because I really want to get some nice...

I know I have been bad about keeping this up to date, however the work continues! I will just dive right into the pics. We had the drywall in the laundry room re-done since it was a mess. Here is the before Apparently I don't have the "after" picture, so I will have to add that later. It...

I am most excited immersive audio to be all ironed out. Sean

So the race was really distracting this past weekend :) Here you can see the wife caught me "working" on Saturday Actually before that pic was taken, I was busy selling off my other project Don't worry, there is another one coming soon :) In the meantime though I am finally able to park my...

(2-18-16) In a smallish update I was able to get some paint on the walls yesterday. I need to do a very thin skim coat on some areas today, and a second coat of paint in others. Should have that all 100% finished up tomorrow hopefully. I want to get the skim coat on today, then work on...

Incoming boring updates! So since I am a little OCD, I decided to use simplex (single) outlets for the projector and the screen. I also changed out the round simplex for the sump pump for the matching decora style even though it wont be seen. This may not seem all that crazy, but they are 6...

Incoming boring pictures! I decided to tackle the network and HDMI runs in the office last night. I had been putting it off since it was under the desk, and I am not a little guy by any means. My IT guy actually needed his tools yesterday, so I figured I would tackle this so I could give them...

Got a little more done last night. Finished the front wall connections and straightened them out. Rear sub RCA connections. I need to fill in that gap on the bottom side of that outlet box. Rear sub speaker connections. Left surround back, and speaker bracket Right surround back, and...

So I got some work done yesterday, nothing really exciting. I wish I was able to get more done, but I was busy with a bunch of other stuff yesterday too. I started off by terminating the two rear sub cables. I had to identify which was which because I was not able to label them before I...

So little bit of an update from yesterday. First up is a shot of one of the front wall plates with the speaker wire terminated on it. I did this a last weekend maybe, or maybe it was last week. Regardless, here it is now :) Next up, here is what I started with yesterday I have never done...

I have been cleaning the house since I woke up, right up until I left. I either underestimated how much work that was, or over did the cleaning itself. I didn't end up getting everything done that I wanted to, but I got a good 90% of it. Anyway, she is home now and she loves it! She was a...

So I got a lot of the wiring trimmed to length and labels put on. Most of the speaker wire is final terminated and labeled in the closet. The CAT6 is almost all cut to length and the labels are on the wire, but not shrunk down yet. Here are the pics of my crazy overkill OCD speaker terminal...

Last night I got the screen and projector mounted up and adjusted I ordered up a better length power cord today, which should look much nicer. I also installed a new front entry light (part of the surprise), and started moving things back. Today I was going to install a whole house...

I know I said I wouldn't post up day three drywall work, but I am going to :) When I came home there was plastic over the basement entrance, but my curiosity got to me. Since I am able to turn the lights on with my phone (Insteon), I did, and then poked my camera past the edge of the plastic...

So time for an update. The wife is out of town this week, so I decided to pull the trigger on having some work done. This is all a surprise for the wife, so I had to move like a ninja to get everything pulled together. The hardest was getting the room prepped (taking things down) without...

One step closer is right! I had a friend of a friend come out and quote the drywall work, and he came back with a great price. We are going to have him do all of the mud and tape, paint, and also redo the walls in the laundry room. We had to make quite a few holes in there for all of the...

The electrical is finally done!!!! My buddy was able to come by over the weekend and finish up the last of the electrical, and then I got the last of the drywall up. On to the pics! So this is behind the bar (as you can see). Starting from the left you have two RG-59 runs (bought RG-59 on...

That makes sense, never thought of it. So what at what distance from the wall can you leave the port open? Say you have rear ported book shelf speakers on mounts that hold it away from the wall some. Sean
