My Theater

Being a novice into the home theater arena, I gotta say that I think I did a pretty good job creating this room for under $700. It all started when I check The Woot one night. They had the InFocus projetor priced at $600 with a $200 mail-in rebate. What can I say...I had to do it. I then went and bought a Pioneer 5.1 Progressive Scan DVD Player. As I got it all set up and looking good, all I needed now was the screen. After a trip to the fabric store and $15 later, I went to Home Depot and got some wood for the frame. A little stapling and then hanging the screen--I was in business!
What I just said made it sound very easy. Now don't get me wrong it wasn't very difficult but all that took an entire weekend to do.
Here are the pics-






























You may be asking, "Is that a cutting board in the ceiling?" The answer is Yes. You would be surprised at how good those things work for drilling and screwing things into them. It was less noticable than wood and it is just as strong too.


With that said, I'll let you know when we have movie night.
