Mercury69 3 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 PocketThe word appears in Middle English as pocket, and is taken from a Norman diminutive of Old French poke, pouque, modern poche, cf. pouch. The form "poke" is now only used dialectically, or in such proverbial sayings as "a pig in a poke". Link to post Share on other sites
aucu 3 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Are you sound proofing the walls as well? if it was me would do this so it could double as a music room to let loose in. Link to post Share on other sites
Governator 54 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Are you sound proofing the walls as well? if it was me would do this so it could double as a music room to let loose in.No I'm not doing that, I considered but I really didn't want to rip down all walls & ceiling for it. I turned it up to listening levels and it's hardly noticeable on the 2nd floor bedrooms, especially if I turn down the sub if my kids sleeping. I'll acoustically treat the room for excessive bass & probably reflections off walls but that's about it. Also, I think if there was a fire when I'm in my office and I couldn't holler upstairs, life would suck. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 What's the reasoning behind having the track lighting face the screen? I would think you would want it tilted away so the room is lit without causing glare. Unless you just tilted the lights that way for the picture. Link to post Share on other sites

I would think you would want it tilted away so the room is lit without causing glare. Unless you just tilted the lights that way for the picture.It's just to light up the screen itself when nothing is playing. Wall sconces in the back (on a dimmer) will be used for main lighting as needed. These are the sconces: Link to post Share on other sites

Governator 54 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Time to start turning this in to a bat cave. My wife must be getting anxious to see it done since she decided to lend a hand today and paint the front wall. Since my screen is transparent everything behind it has to be flat black.

Figger 0 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Why do you have floor molding behind the screen? Shouldn't that go to black too? Link to post Share on other sites
Governator 54 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Why do you have floor molding behind the screen? Shouldn't that go to black too?We have a dark dark brown colour for ceiling, trim & doors. It will get painted but ultimately doesn't matter behind the screen much because the screen will be about 30" up from the bottom, so it won't be visible or reflective.This weekend we should be making big progress, going to build the screen, rack shelving and maybe start some painting. Hopefully Sunday I can mount the projector after testing distance & placement. Link to post Share on other sites

Governator 54 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Have you picked out the first movie you plan on watching once this project is finished?Not exactly, depends who I'll be watching it with. I think I'd pop in Heat myself but if the kiddo is around (which he probably will be) then it'll be Cars 2. Santa is bringing LOTR EE blu-ray, so that's what I'm looking forward to the most. An 11 hour marathon when I get a weekend to myself. I think a lot of my DVDs are going to be getting upgraded. Link to post Share on other sites
