HT2004 Visible Progress

Finally done with the drywall hell! It took a few hours to clean up the room, it was finally ready for painting at 10pm. Painting the ceiling was awful. It’s painful, it rains paint. Latex Paint in my eyes is an interesting feeling. I now have a new found hatred of textured ceilings when it Read More …

HT2004 Update

Home Theater construction is still coming along nicely. Some slow days with lots of fiddly tedious things getting done, but we’re quite close to painting now. The front stage is framed up and ready to be wrapped in fabric. A few more coats of mud and lots of sanding and we’re ready to start painting, Read More …

HT2004…Opps!

Last night after finishing up I looked at the word and thought…humm….I was going to run the video cables and speaker wire behind that wall that is now in place. It was bound to happen. All the planing has been spot on so far. So tonight I pulled off some drywall and nailers and drilled Read More …

And if successful who knows where it may lead. This has been a very interesting thing to watch unfold, the power of Read More …

Amazing Talent

Found this on the BoingBoing Blog. This is the word of Kurt Wenner, a street painter who works with pastel chalks. The sense of depth is incredible. I can only imagine what having an ability like this would be like. http://www.kurtwenner.com/gallery.htm http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/sidewalk.asp

The Water Curse Strikes Again

Saturday. A long home theater construction day. Night comes. I’m tired and sore. “A nice warm bath in the Jacuzzi tub would be great”, I think to myself. An hour later I am feeling much better and I go downstairs to check email. I sit down and thinking “wow, my chair is cold. So cold Read More …
