OK, for all you guys on here that insist on worshipping me as the Carpentry God that I am (lol!), here's a good example of "thinking ahead" in my construction that I want to show you... :D

Each of my columns are attached to the wall using only four 3" drywall screws, one in the center of each of the four crossmembers in the framework. Because each column is centered over a seam between the wall panels in order to hide them, I have to run the screws through the center of the crossmembers because that's where the stud is located behind the wall to screw in to. I was worried about this manner of mounting, because the vertical sides of the columns are not attached to the wall in any way; I was concerned that heavy doses of LFE in the theater would cause the wood frames to vibrate and rattle against the wall. I didn't want to glue the frames to the walls, because I wanted them to be removable if need be in the future, without damaging the wall panels behind them.

My solution: I bought a few rolls of truck camper-mounting tape at the hardware store (used to seal the seam between truck caps and the truck bed) which has adhesive on only one side, and applied it to the back of the side members of each of the seven columns... the foam will provide a thin padding between the wall and the frame, and prevent any rattling during an explosive movie or when playing bassy music... :rock:

Am I be smartz or what? :cool:

Never hurts too think ahead. Good work. :thumbsup:

Lol, that spiel was mainly for your benefit, Aero... it's edjumacashunal! :p:D

Your HT is looking Tremendous dude - These last few items & you'll be all set, right?

Yeah, pretty much just some odds and ends left after that - but the columns have a lot of moulding work to be done after they're up - baseboard and crown moulding, and corner trim... also, I still have to tile the one closet under the stairs yet... Door trim around 3 doors yet, and get a couple 5x8 throw rugs made - either purple or black carpet most likely, and get the carpet place to bind the edges... probably more painting, in the bathroom. it will be an ongoing process for a while.

Then in the Spring - 3D Projector!! :rock:

:eek: :yikes: :jawdrop: :panic:

3D Projector???!!!! :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Well my computer shows a box with a red X. :confused: Thanks for nothing. Well, nothing except a blue ? and a red X.:p

Can you say "2011 Tax Return"...? :thumbsup: :D


As well you should. ;)

Dude this is amazing!!!

Hi BDS, I just posted up a reply to you over on Hometheatergeek's thread... Thanks for the compliment - If you were looking at my Gallery photos, though, those pics are way out of date now - my basement flooded from Tropical Storm Lee back in September, and I had to reconstruct the entire theater, still working on it.

Here is a link to a page on my freytheater.com website that has all the photos of the flood and the restoration effort, except for the latest photos I posted up here in my thread in just the last few pages...

Frey Theater Flood and Restoration Project

Damn, that sucks man....But it looks really good now! I love how the screen goes all the way to the floor!

Love that site you made for your theater, its awesome!

Take Care,
Brian

Troy...you have a PM from Jonny. Below is my response

lol, yeah, I already replied... oops. ;)

lol, well Brian, the reason the screen goes all the way to the floor (almost) is because the ceiling in my basement is only 6'6" high - so not a lot of clearance for a 120" screen... the nice thing is, when you are sitting on the sofa in the front row, your eyes are exactly level with the center of the screen, so it is at the perfect viewing height. the video from my projector JUST clears the center support beam of the house running across the middle of the ceiling, in order to hit the screen properly - tight clearances all around!

The website is mainly for the use of all my guests that attend my Monthly Movie Nights each month, I post up the movie and dates/times on the home page, and add a trailer and movie review on the Next Showing page, for their benefit. My January Movie nights are coming up this Thursday and Saturday nights, for Rise of the Planet of the Apes, guess you saw that already though, if you went out to the home page...

Yea thats awesome! and thats pretty cool you do that for your friends and family!

Well, I have the theater, so I gotta have any excuse to use it! :) :thumbsup:
