JapanDave dedicated theater build. - Page 5

No I haven't!

Some more updates,

The sound proof doors have been painted.



The ceiling has also been painted, in flat black of coarse.



And the wood trim has been stained and is waiting to dry.

There certainly will be. I will post pics when done.

I will try and find one. If not I will take one.

Ha,Ha.... Funny you should say that b/c the big is an Australian Barramundi which is a great fish to eat.

Yes it is fresh water. I like salt water and have had a tank with live coral, but the time to keep the water conditions correct is just too long, I just don't have a lot of free time as it is. If you just want to keep salt water fish that is much easier, but I prefer coral tanks.

Does anyone know what home theater seats have low cushion heights? No matter where I look I can't find any info on any of the berkline range. Palliser list their heights, but I am looking for a seat that will be about 18"-20" from the ground to the top of the cushion.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am all fine for custom chairs, but not from here in Japan. I will end up having to pay about $5K a chair. Sure they will be good chairs, but when you have a 3 year old and 6 year old that will spill drinks on them ect, I am not willing to pay that.

If there was someone from overseas who could make a custom chair and ship it to me, that would be the better way to go. Do you know any custom chair designer/builders?

I was looking these two chairs b/c when placed in a curved arrangement they have the lowest width. They have to fit in betwwen the two columns with enough room to walk by.
The Magnolia,


And the Berkline 45088 The Premier,


Problem is the berklines back rest is very short and I don't like the 23" cushion height on the magnolias.

I think I am going to go with three seats instead of four. Anyone know some seats with low cushion heights regardless of width?

Well not much done that can be seen. Most of the frames for the acoustic panels were completed and all that is left is wrapping them is fabric.

Some pics of the wood going in around the sound proof doors and the false door way.
The false door way.


The frame around the door finnished.




Some more bits and pieces going in around the other door.

Peter, does it have to be someone close? I will have to import my chairs, like with with just about anything else. I know it means more expense, but if the result is worth it, why not I say.

LOL, and have to pull some of the stuff packed up nice and neatly to get pics, so you are not seeing the true neatness after each day, b/c I am the one making the mess. One thing about Japanese construction is their attention to detail, not only with their work, but also with their tidiness.

LOL, I will make the arrangments!

I would say they do spend a bit of time on the cleaning, but they won't go home until its done. I have said many times just to leave it when they are really late , but they still do it regardless.
