Johnsteph10's HT 3.0 Build Thread - Page 4

Hey, you have a good eye.

The PVC runs up the wall, across the ceiling, and connects to the vents for the sump/bathroom. You just can't see it in the pics as I already framed around it.

Edit: Page 4!!

I work in an ER so my shifts can be all over the place. It was slow, then.

Just saw this...

Yeah, I have to vacuum fairly frequently. It gets on my nerves.

I hate to think how much time and energy I waste on vacuuming...

My 3 pails of GG (45lbs each!), speedloader, and case of acoustic caulk are here!

I'm running behind because:

1. It has rained for the last 5 days...continuously..and the drywall guys aren't delivering.
2. I haven't quite finished insulation (which is probably good that the drywall isn't here, yet).

I'll have to snap a pic...

Pics of the GG:

It is heavy and solid. It's cute how they included a mini can of WD40 with it.

Compare it to a tube of "normal sized" tube of caulk...they're ginormous. I'm going to have to get another caulk gun.

OK, so this is actually John's wife - I had to see what he is always doing on the computer. So you are the people egging him on with this never ending project! I cannot wait until John has a "soundproof" space to play with his bass.

By the way - his wife does help him with the MDF!

At some point, I plan on having to call 911 for help to get myself unstuck from the walls and/or the ceiling.

psst...the money is on its way...shhhh

I wish someone would.

Just wait...I already know what I'll spell out for you in GG...soon.


Don't you have to take a vicodin or something?

Update:

4/7/2009:


Just went to HD/Lowes...again. Picked up what I hope will be the last of the R13 (8 more rolls) and some R19 to start running in the ceiling.

The very last electrical thing I have to do is wire up the 15a black receptacle for the projector.


...then DRYWALL.

Update:

4/11-4/12/2009

Continuing to insulate. I probably only need 4-5 more rolls of R13 for the rest of the HT and then I start R19 for ceiling.

The only other things left to do are to wire the receptacle for the projector and frame the bathroom ceiling a little lower to cover all of the exposed plumbing.

....then drywall!!

I would have gotten a lot more done this weekend but my "Honey Do List" finally got long enough that I had to knock some stuff off of it.
- I mulched all of the flower beds (I never want to shovel ever again)
- I planted a bunch of rose bushes that my wife bought (and broke a sprinkler line)
- I then fixed the sprinkler line and moved it out of the way
- I fertilized the lawn (not THAT you dirty minds)

It sure doesn't seem like much when I type it out....geez.

Well, it has been several weeks since an update. I did nothing for a while as I was approaching burnout...then motivation hit me again!

4/30 - Update

Framed the bathroom/bathroom closet ceilings lower to cover all of the exposed plumbing from the BR upstairs and the ductwork.

I also started to insulated the bathroom walls.

I tidied up some.

Still need to:

1. Run speaker wire for the buttkickers.
2. Hook up outlet in ceiling for projector.
3. LV plate for projector in ceiling.
4. Insulate with R13 the remaining bathroom int walls.
5. Insulate the ceiling with R19.
6. Wire for the screen lighting ( 3 3 inch cans)
7. Insulate screen wall with R19.
8. Move the HT cans 1 rafter over.
9. Label all of the wires and finish running them through crawlspace to equipment closet.

I have struck out on 2 drywall contractors....we make an appointment for them to come by to see the job/estimate...and then they just don't show up.

Arg.

Oh well...I'm still making more progress than Logan and that's all that matters.

...and hearing Logan talking about smacking dimpled balls for a week just brings tears to my eyes.

I see my list above...wow, I thought I get some stuff done.

What I actually did:

7. Insulate screen wall with R19.
8. Move the HT cans 1 rafter over.


What's Left:

1. Run speaker wire for the buttkickers.
2. Hook up outlet in ceiling for projector.
3. LV plate for projector in ceiling.
4. Insulate with R13 the remaining bathroom int walls.
5. Insulate the ceiling with R19.
6. Wire for the screen lighting ( 3 3 inch cans)
9. Label all of the wires and finish running them through crawlspace to equipment closet.

I totally agree.

Being observant is both a blessing and a curse.

My wife laughed at me when she saw me moving the lights. She just doesn't understand.

Hey Garen,

Thanks a lot! Hopefully the Catalysts will be here within 2 weeks or so. I still don't have a pre-pro yet, however.

Unfortunately, my weekend will consist of working.....at my job.

Now, THAT is a selfless act.
