Thursday it get plastered
3 days after that with heaters running I can start painting and fixing the skirting and plugs.
All the wires are running behind the skirting
I'll then fit the carpets
Then once thats done,I can start bringing in the Screen,19" racking and speakers etc...
I reckon a couple of weeks hopefully
Best to give it extra time for drying out mate.don`t use too much heat or everything will start to crack(you could end up with plaster dropping off in patches).
Paint only when ALL the plaster is light pink in colour.
Don`t be in too much of a rush to get it finished or you will spoil the job
Paint wise a lot of decorators on site have said for best results water down the first coat of emulsion 50/50 (a mist coat they call it)apparently it gives a better finish

Looking good 
Easyrider, you've actually inspired me to actually make an effort with my own speaker cabling now, so I'm going to (attempt to) run all the cabling through the walls and terminate at one of these plates near to my receiver
Although I think im going to have to add around 10 metres of extra cable to my order now

Mate. good effort and looks very well planned and executed so far. I know you've had a few other threads running but have you got a full list of what's being installed?
It's at times like this I wish I didn't live in a house built in 1850.

I'll just let it dry naturally then thanks for the tips about the painting
Another good approach to painting is do a wash of size or very dilute PVA glue. Plaster is stupid absorbant, if you seal it first you'll need to do fewer coats and use less paint, which is all money in the bank for popcorn.
Room is looking lovely though, what are the dimensions?

The left hand plug is for the SUB and the other is for (I dunno)
You haven't forgotten the signal cable for the sub have you?!

Don't think so.
The cables for the sub will go behind the Skirting unseen.
Probs the Monolith-DF or the XLS200 MK2
The NEW XLS300 MK2 is only 40 quid cheaper than the DF so might aswell go fo the DF.
Just think that the NEW XLS200 MK2 will be more than enough for the room though at £282
Looking great
I love plaster
It's been said already but with the plaster, let it dry naturally for a couple of days, then with light grain sandpaper I'd smooth the walls down a touch. When it comes to painting, either seal with the PVC glue method or dilute your paint on the first coat as the plaster is highly absorbant.

Apparently the way to do it is a 50/50 water paint (matt white emulsion) undercoat. PVA on top of the plaster can cause issues with it reacting causing the paint to peel.Looking great
