Thanks RT! you are my beacon of light ! I will have to start a new thread " Going Vacationing? Call RT ! " Seriously though i am equally eager to finish up fast. Can wait for the day when we both get to fire everything up!!

Lol!!

Ah.....Houston we have a problem! Vik, if I'm your beacon of light we/you have serious issues. LOL. I'm just glad I can be someone's beacon of light. I feel special now. Thank you.

lol! no problem

I don't recall the carpet pattern you are looking at, but if it is a pattern that requires matching, you have to account for the overlap on the stage to line up the pattern. So, you need enough to cover the entire stage plus pattern overlap (could be anywhere from 6" to18" plus the riser height). And looks to me like there will be a pretty good amount of wastage cutting out for the steps. Remeber, you have to pay for all the carpet to do the job, not just what actually get installed. Now, if you're LUCKY, you'll find an installer that will only charge for the finished square footage...it shouldn''t matter to him if you have to buy an extra 10 yards, or whatever it ends up being.

My guess is that the guys comming up with the short sq footage are not taking everything into account and will probably then try to bump up the estimate. ANd it depndes on the pattern and wheter you can install it the long way or the acrros the room to minimize wastage. I think you'd be better ordering more rather then less and have to try to get more of the same dye lot, etc.

There is no pattern, But thanks for explaining in detail how the process goes!

Thanks for visiting Mike. I was planning on calling you in a couple of weeks for something i may need to purchase. The Lens issue was not a big deal just mismatched instructions

Cool! i am aware of the upgrades going on in your room since you told me on phone the last time we spoke. I love the curved screen and i am extremely happy with the size i chose. I did not even unbox the masked panels and i am not sure if i ever will Thanks again! and i will be in touch soon!

I may have missed it, but do you happen to have a photo showing how you brought both power and low voltage cables into your columns? Did all cables enter the room at one spot and travel in your soffit or did they come through the wall behind each column location?

Nice seats Vik!

Hi memmo,
Sorry i have no pics showing the wiring. Before the Columns and drywall was put up. the electrical wiring traveled from the breaker box in the equipment room behind the theater along the ceiling joists and studs. The low voltage travels separately inside a few carlon flex ducts away from the electrical wiring.

Thanks Gary! I have not opened them yet! ...hope to do so soon!

Somehow I missed all the awesomesauce that is this thread! I need to spend more time here with you all! Love this place, great job guys!

Thanks Warren!!

Finally ordered carpet today. Could not get the exact color so settled for the nearest match. Next significant update should be a wrap up of the build with pics!

Can't wait to see those seats in the theater and the carpet all buttoned up!

stop talking and start posting more pictures!!!

Shouldn't have hung the PJ. Can't stop watching to get any work done.

Me to Reddig. I keep waiting for that call from Vik that he needs help with the equipment and chairs. But that call has yet to come. Vik keeps promising but nothing yet. Sigh......

Since when did the "slow as molasses" guy become the ball-buster for quick progress?

Well I wasn't going to say anything.......

Haha!

Well played, sir. Well played!

Lol @ the above Jokes. Thanks guys i too really want to get it over with and post pics asap! ...I will give it a week to 10 days max.

RT,
Carpet is the only delay whenever it comes be prepared to be hounded by me! untill then enjoy some shuffling http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=U74UxWvHItU#!

Ahhh...........Looks like I'm getting called out. Just because I have a slow progressing build thread doesn't mean that I can't bust on someone else for their slow progress. Logan is a perfect example of this. Just sayin'

Oh, Vik........making excuses already for the lack of progress? That did not take long at all. Maybe we should have big stop in for some special motivation to get you back on track.

Excellent, just excellent. Love the lighting and the curves. Anxious to see the finished product.
