Excellent work Laminar, soffit lighting is a nice touch and I love the 'stage' area under the projector screen. If you need to fly anyone out to Iowa and pay them handsomely to build some custom cabinetry I'm your man! Hehe, in all seriousness you seem to have a pretty solid grasp on carpentry and I'm sure that room is going to look amazing when it is done.
Thanks!

My wife did say "our" next project is some built-ins in the living room.

Better draw the line at the granny house for your mother-in-law.

I recently helped my brother-in-law setup his HT, and he'd gotten a cheap pair of speakers from Monoprice for his main left/right channels. I can't say they're great for music, but they're very good for movies and such. Anyway, they're only $42 /pair today, and for home theater that's the steal of the year. Just a heads up.

For only $42.05 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 8 Inches 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - Black | Bookshelf Speakers
That's the problem with trying to discuss US policy with foreigners who are only here to argue. We take
these issues to heart, because this is our country and we love it, they're here for the entertainment value.

Any update on your home theatre? All your old pics are gone.

He posted an almost complete pic in one of the recent "Rob's Back" threads. Not sure which one.
