[easyrider]

Easyrider can I marry you?

 

[easyrider]

He's Mine!!.. Mits off!!!

I sooooooooo much want to be able to do this!!

 

[easyrider]

I will update on a regular basis if people are interested. Should have the electrics finished and the last bits of plasterboard done this weekend.

Then I will be getting it plastered.

 

[easyrider]

Thanks for all the positive remarks.

You can rate the thread if you want

Nice!! Is the socket placement and wiring legal though?

Yeah,

The guy thats doing it is married to my sister and worked for British Aerospace before going freelance.

He now works in high end network management in computers but holds all elcetrician qualifications should things go **** up ( trade Backup)

Clever guy. People will always need electricians!


Its nice to choose socket placement over a the scatter that you get in most builds.


Socket choice is rare as nearly all builders just scatter a few about the room.


Now I get to choose.

Looking good mate, just one thing am sure you wont mind if I point out those plaster boards need a few more nails in, I think every 6" is the standard for a nice flat finish other wise they can buckle when they become damp with the weight of the plaster though i am sure your plasterer will sort it out

Thanks for the tips.

Knocking in a few extra won't do any harm at all thanks mate

 

[easyrider]

Maybe we can come round when its done and get plastered too

 

[easyrider]

Don't fall for it! its a trap so they can get you drunk and marry you

Looking good so far though

After a few I'm anybodys!

 

[easyrider]

Little update.


I have nearly finished the plaster board over the weekend. The Beam as now been done and around the door.

I have had some more sockets put in and just fitted some LED wall lighting Will post some more pics soon.

Getting some Black sockets like this..

 

[easyrider]

Why black sockets? Are you batcaving it?

lol


They look better than white!


MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM sockets

 

[easyrider]

IMO that depends on the colour of the room............and whether or not you're still living in the early nineties!!

White look boring imo.


I think black will just blend in.

The main wall that the screen will be going on will be black.

Haven't decided on the colour of the other walls yet.

 

[easyrider]

Been a bit busy with the festivites.

I am getting cracking on it tomorrow and will post pics of the Led lights etc...

 

[easyrider]

I now have the plasterboard up and around the window and door finished.


I filmed the floor being put in with my movie camera so I will get some stills from the movie camera to show you how I made the floor level and raised it and insulated it using 2" thick Polystyrene Blocks.

You can see the pictures of my helpers

All I need to do now is cut some holes for the speaker wire Banana plug sockets for the surrounds.

And cut a few for the coaxial cable and satalite cable.

That and finish the Led lights in the walls.

Check back tommorow when I will have more pics

Ringing the plasterer tommorow can't wait

 

[easyrider]

Its a projector! Look at the HDMI and power leads coming out of the ceiling in the pics

I have will mount the TV under the screen

 

[easyrider]

Floor going in

Apologies for the quality of the pic was not taken with my Nikon D70

 

[easyrider]

Are you going to use some kind of HDMI socket on the ceiling?

No the lead will go through a Blanking plate and look professional straight in the back of the projector.

At 15m I don't want to break the connection.
