Village Theater Construction Thread - Page 8

Thanks Floyd! Got the theater door stained with the General Finish Gel Stain in Brown Mahogany. It's nice - came out good - just not sure of the darkness of the color. I'll check it out tomorrow and see what I think. Wife loves it, which is nice. That General Gel Stain is great BTW.

One other note, the reflections on the ceiling Dennis was talking about are non-existant and I have the PJ image right up against the ceiling. I'll have another 4" seperating the ceiling and the screen with the SMX, so I am NOT concerned in the least now. That Rosco Velour paint just sucks light!

Felt great tonight sitting on the mattresses with my girls watching
"Horton Hears a Who" on BluRay. Can't imagine what it'll be like with a screen instead of a sheet.

Thanks mikieson! Home stretch is relative I guess. Baby's coming in 1 week, so we are on a hiatus. I have all the wainscoting to get done, PJ hush box to build, SMX screen to mount, doors to stain, hardware to put on the doors and all the rack organizing to do. Maybe December.. I think I heard someone say recently, that I am finally at the half-way point.

I'm certainly afraid of actually building the PJ box, buying my JVC HD950 and never getting to any of the trim, etc.

TO ALL SOUTHEAST MICHIGANDERS AND NORTHWESTBUCKEYES:

I have 70 feet or so of 1" JM Linacoustic left over and if someone wants it - you can come on over and we can work out a deal. I paid contractor pricing, so not a bad deal. My wife wants it out!

I also have about 8 - 2" - 12"x12" Auralex Foam Wedges, 2 single gang and 1 double gang entry plates for wiring and some left over carlon tubing.

Can't return any of it, so it's up for anyone building a theater in the area.

Standard width - 44"

I can go double-check, but not til tomorrow afternoon. I'm heading to bed and will be gone all day. I'm nearly 100% sure it's 44", but shoot, I have had so many numbers running through my head over the last 6 months.

Thanks everyone for all the comments on the carpet. So glad everyone likes it.. but most glad that my wife likes it.

Well, contractions started this morning.. We should be on our way to the hospital to welcome Baby #3 any time now. Killing time in between contractions surfing the forum... Baby #3 is much more chill than the first 2. Man it was stressful for the first 2... Now the bags are packed and we are just waiting. My wife even asked if we could go downstairs and watch a movie.

Still haven't decided on a name. But Tyler seems to be in the lead...

Tyler Henry was born last night and immediately asked what was taking so long on the theater.

Mom and Baby are doing great. 7 pounds 11.5 ounces and 20 inches long. Big Feet!

Theater is officially on pause!

Thanks everyone for all the well wishes! Everyone is doing great!

I know how everyone loves pictures of the builds.. so here is the latest picture of quite a different build.
