The Ortheum Theater....here we go! - Page 9

Just realized I made a boneheaded beginner mistake on my desk cabinets. I was trying to make them the standard 24". I just noticed when I was taking measurements that I made the basic "frame" of the cabinet 24", however when I added the face to the cabinet, they are now 24 3/4". Not a huge deal, but now I'll have to cut 3/4" off the back of both cabinets. Whoops!

Finally some pictures!

$5 trim rings from Ebay. I was pretty happy to find ones that were already black. They are 4".




The computer desk in the back with Blu-ray shelf up top.


I'm still racking my brain trying to figure out a way to cover the box. I'm doing fabric walls and I'd prefer to make it as stealthy as possibly.


I need to find something to do with all my extra linacoustic.


Finally putting the big boy behind the false wall. I still have to cover the upper bass trap.


In position. It looks lonely back there. I might have to make a 2nd one. Too bad Kevin doesn't make the Maelstroms anymore.


With the false wall back in place. My wife painted the false wall and the sub in flat black.

The entrance to the Theater and my mini popcorn maker. The camera makes it look pinkish. It is actually red.

WOO HOOO!!!!

I just ordered my GOM fabric for the walls! It finally feels like everything is coming together and the end is in sight. At least the room itself, not sure when I'll get all the equipment. I'm on a pretty tight budget.

I ended up ordering:
5 yards of "black" 701 for the screen wall.
20 yards of "straw" anchorage for the upper half of the walls.
10 yards of "onyx" anchorage for the lower half of the walls.

So between ordering my fabric last night and my carpet last week, I'm super excited to get this thing going again.

Here are the samples. I ordered the red carpet and the left and right fabric samples. Ignore the lighter tan color in the middle, I prefered the darker tan (straw).

On the ceiling is just another 2x2. They wedge in perfectly and won't budge.

Finally some progress....I had my carpet installed today and I LOVE IT. I was a little nervous with my decision, but after seeing it installed, I'm so happy with it.

Looking towards the stage.


Towards the back with the closet on the left, rack, fridge cubby (with hiding children), and computer desk/movie storage.


The door with the trim and GOM installed. Plus my newly installed 6-zone Grafik Eye QS. I can't stop playing with the lights, dimming the lights over and over again.

Here is a thread about it from a couple years ago when I bought it. (yes I'm still not done with the room 3 1/2 years later!)

I'm just pissed because when I hooked up the GE everything was working fine, except the seetouch wall station in the other room. It is getting power, but won't control anything. After some trouble shooting, I looked at the box of the wall station and it is a "homeworks" switch, not a "QS" switch. It appears they aren't compatible, but when I ordered I asked for the QS, but it appears they sent the wrong one. The real problem is that I ordered it over 3 years ago.
