Home theater upgrades (aka lets see you married guys do this thread #2)
A few months ago i moved out of my old house, with a 16x18 foot basement room which was dedicated to a home theater in the house plans. After my dad passed passed I had to get serious about getting a new place, and was stuck with a complete higher end home theater. With a female boxer (a scary guard dog according to all but 1 rental agency in the town where i go to college) I wound up in a converted half of a garage. perfect 1 gear head 1 dog pad. However, the biggest room in the place is an 8x12' livingroom. For awhile i was using an avery file box on top of the entertainment center and a white blanket hung from the cieling with push pins. But last night I finally busted out $40 and here's what I came up with, I think its pretty effin sweet.
10 of the cheapest 2x4s from home deepthroat (went through and grabbed the straightest ones)
screws

2 drills
$15 in blackout fabric from the mall

haha yeah guitar playing is my cheap hobby. The lamps aren't cheap, but the initial investment is lower vs buying a big LCD. I don't have cable and have a lamp budget instead.

The mount is close, but the pic makes it look closer than it is. The staircase is wide enough that I have a shoulder width space between the handrail and the projector stand. It's a rental and there was just no way for me to mount it on the wall which would be ideal.

interesting, i've never heard of that.
my only upgrade to this until i get into my own place that I own is to get some winter mist mixed without the umber and a little extra black to get some more contrast. Its fine the way it is but you can't clean this fabric and its got some smudges from assembly.
