So I finally received the Peerless BM-5001 ceiling mount, and now I have everything I need: ceiling mount, projector (optoma hd20), 100" elite screen, receiver, blu-ray player, recommended throw distance from the optoma and projector central websites... So where do I go from here?

Where do I start? I have sites saying put the screen up first but that can't be right can it? how will i tell the offset? The projector central website doesn't take the ceiling into consideration when calculating the numbers for offset does it?

Also, I don't have a stud in the ceiling at the recommended throw distance... What then?

Am I over-thinking it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
