May Theater Update
I have attached some pictures of the progress in the theater room. The first picture is meant to show the riser for the second row of seating. The riser is approx. 8 inches high (2 x 8 + 1/2" ply). The white PVC pipe you see in the picture is my order of screen fabric from SeymourAV.
The painting has officially begun. I plan on painting the top half of the room black, keep the bottom half the base color of the rest of the house, and seperate the two with a chair rail of sorts...I have some ideas for the chair rail, but not quite sure of their feasability.
I am also quite unsure of what to do with the columns. Paint them? Leave them unpainted? I thought about painting them black (the top half), and then paint silver stars on the columns so that they don't simply blend into the rest of the wall.
From this picture, you can tell that I still need to apply a second coat of paint to the walls...the first coat simply did not provide enough coverage... plus I don't think I did the best job of keeping a wet edge while painting... I will try to correct this mistake with the second coat.
Today I ordered a frame for my screen! I am pretty excited... I was originally planning on just building my own using poplar from Home Depot, but after seeing the sh*tty selection of warped and twisted pieces to pick from, I decided to go with another approax. These are actually stretcher bars for art canvases - but the kiln-dried pine and aluminum frame promised to never warp or twist regardless of changes in climate and/or humidity. I ordered a frame large enough for a 120" screen, or if I decide to place a 2" velvet border on top, a 115" screen. Either will suffice.
This week I hope to get Dad to help wire the room. The new projector should be here on Thursday... we are SO close now.
