The End Is Near

I've received a few complaints of late that there haven't been any blog updates. Yes, it's true that the construction of the room is nearing completion, and I haven't posted any pics for a while, so be prepared to be inundated:



As you can see, a relatively run of the mill Lounge Room with far too many windows and doors becomes a seriously darkened HT room with the addition of 45 linear metres of curtains.

Although the room looks close to completion, there's still a long list of things to be done:

1. Paint the rear wall in the same "Pompeii Ash" Suede Effects paint as the bulkhead
2. Sponge a 2nd coat of paint on the bulkhead and paint the new cornice above it
   
3. "Dress" the 19" rack in some attractive timber panelling
4. Replace the current rug with a darker, more plush rug
5. Replace the current cheap screen with a 2.37:1 Aspect Ratio screen of decent quality
   
6. Get my cousin-in-law to finish building my custom mount (he's had 6 months already!)...
   note to self: never commision work from family (well, in-laws at least!)
7. Mount the Anamorphic lens on a sliding rail in front of the projector
8. Re-Calibrate the Audio
9. Program the NevoSL remote

I have to say that since the room has become fairly useable, it has been very difficult to get the motivation to do all the trimmings that I've listed above, when I could spend the time watching a movie instead.
