I've earned a beer. Right now I'm having a perfectly chilled Sam Adams Winter Lager, while watching a beautifully contrived CGI documentary about the lives of Sperm Whales on the Discovery Channel.
So I'm a nerd, SO WHAT?!
Well, its been one heck of a week working in my room this past week. This week saw me reassembling the wall panels, running the nylon threading to prep for the wire fishing/ pulling behind the walls, wiring/installing the panels, and putting the equipment back, and begin testing and calibration of the room. <--Well as much as I can do without the new surrounds. I guess I got a bug in my system, because I really burned the midnight oil this week.
Lessons learned:
1. You can't assume the condition behind the walls. Several walls had random 2x4's in them. They weren't fire breaks, I don't know what they were. It's almost like the were going to be used for something and just left there. One wall had a slope to the poured foundation wall behind it, so the depth changed as I went up. I ended up having to change how I ran the subwoofer cable from over the top, to under the carpet.
2. When painting wall panels to match the rooms decor, remember to pain the screws. I'll be mocking up a styrofoam holder and painting the screws to match the panels. I know, call me anal!
3. Nothing makes the time fly while working through the wee hours of the morning, like Itunes, the Richard Pryor Anthology, and George Lopez.
That's enough of me rambling, here are some pics to update you guys.
