Next home project.
20 years ago I put in a home theater.My now ex wife thought I was crazy but the family loved it.96" screen with a LCD projector.

Now that I have an understanding girlfriend and no one to tell me no I decided to put home theater in my 1898 home.

Have a 12' by 22' room for theater that is acoustical nightmare.Windows,bulkhead,closets and cut out.Will try to clean up room with sound absorbers and sound diffusers.

Have made several purchases for Theater.This project is a budget buster.

150" Cinegrey 5D screen with 1.5 gain.

Projector is 4K & ultra HD 3,840 x 2,160 resolution. Laser projection with 3,300 Lumens.

7.1.2 Dolby Atmous suround sound with 4 subs.

Two rows of theater seating with second row on raised platform.

Will see how this come out.I have a lot of work to get this built and dialed in.

Have not yet learned what to do with retirement time.

Laser projection means no bulb? My parents have a home theater that came w the house. Bulb burned out on projector a few months after they moved in. Replacement bulb was around $500. Replaced the bulb, turned the projector on, and it caught on fire...

I was on vacation all last week. Going back to work Monday sucked. Email hell when I got there Monday.

I slung a TPMS sensor off the band when I got my car back. Got that fixed today. It was the right front. The only one that has not flown the coop is the left front. LOL.

Mike??? I doubt it. I can tell you I am tired with my build. I could believe he is triple tired. Hasn't he done it 3 times. Forget that.
It has crossed my mind just to sell mine sometimes.

Big builds. Sometimes you wonder if it's worth all the hassle and headaches. So many times, I seen them get finished. Then a couple of months after go up for sell.

Yes correct.
The laser will give you sharper ,brighter picture.Will not fall of quickly like bulbs and uses less power.If bulb was not installed correctly a fire could start.Would be due to defective bulb or not correctly cleaning of projector and handling of bulb.
The laser should be good for 20,000 to 30,000Hrs depending on model.
So at 40hrs a week would be 10 to 14 years of use.

The thought has crossed my mind. People won't let you just enjoy them. It's a pain in the azz.

Buy the way, it is people that are the hassle. The build wasn't that bad.

The good thing is nobody cares about a moron's opinion on the internet. Dont even give them the time of day, not worth it.
As you have stated many times, the build is for you, you owe nothing to anyone else. :driving: hope you driving the wheels off the thing.

We switched to laser projectors at work and they are niiiice. My old Epson 1080p projector keeps chugging along though and hard to justify replacing it until it croaks.

Every big build has problems.Gets frustrating when you already have a ton of money into it and have to spend more for the unexpected.
You just live and breathe it for a couple of years.Every night and weekend in shop.You have to be focused and trudge on.Takes a certain type of person.
Not for the casual person who has no idea what their getting into.

So for people who make smart *** comments have they done a build or just done a few minor mods.

I've done a couple of builds in my earlier years. Almost cost me my marriage, almost filing for bankruptcy. Pissed off a lot of friends. Being in the rabbit hole so deep, that I popped out the other side. Then got sucked back in.

Hey Rusty you certainly know.
Thats what I'm talking about.
What it takes to build car start to finish.
Some people call it crazy.I call it focused.

I have done a few myself besides my latest. It was much easier before. Nobody was the wiser. Only a select few knew what you were up to. I lost a fiancé from one. That was a blessing.

I’m up, I’m up... big day here at Bacon Central.

The people from CO that are buying this house are arriving at 8am to unload two trucks and trailers into the basement.

This house has a 2500 sq ft finished lower level that we completely cleaned out already. I told the new buyers that they could bring whatever they needed to and move it in before the closing on 9/3. So today is their second 3100 mile round trip with stuff. Last trip they brought a camper and a Bass boat and left them in the front yard.

We are being pretty flexible with them. ...Of course, “make it happen” is still my main focus and I don’t think they are backing out now... :tup:
