The room looks fantastic mike. Kudo's job well done. Did you put drycore under the flooring, i know the laminate looks so nice but damn it can be cold . I think in floor heating is the way to go, my boss has that in his house sooo nice on the tootsies. I often wonder is i am sitting too far back from my tv, i seem to see people sitting really close. Every time i buy a bigger tv i move back ,maybe i am missing out . I sit about 14ft from a 70" ,i did move ahead a bit but maybe i need to get closer. Thanks! No drycore, just the vinyl planks. I would have had to level out the floor if I wanted to use drycore. The vinyl conforms to the floor perfectly and is super easy to remove. It literally just lifts off with a piece of tape or suction cup. I'll take a picture with one the plants off. In floor heating is nice, but a $10 pair of slippers is just as easy...lol. I don't mind the room cold, I actually prefer it colder than the rest of the house. I tend to sweat when I game for awhile, must be all aggravation from the younger kids instantly killing me the second I spawn...haha. I tend to sit close, I like when the screen completely fills my field of vision. More immersive IMO.

Projector arrived on Saturday! I also finished up switching the 7.1 wiring over to 7.1.4. I only plan on doing 5.1.4 for now, but I ran them in case I change my mind. There is a whole lot of speaker wire up in the ceiling now...lol.

It took five separate deliveries, but all of the speakers have finally arrived! Apparently, things got held up in customs and they only released a few at a time. Some of the boxes look like hell, but Axiom does a great job packaging everything up. I opened the worst offenders and they made it through unscathed. The rest will have to wait, taking a trip down to Cape May for a few days with the family. I also mounted the projector temporarily just to power it up and ensure it worked. The thing is HUGE, but it produced a super bright image, even on my matte black wall. It's going to be blinding on a white screen. Maybe I should do gray? Anyway, took a few quick shots. I have the week off, so I am hoping to get everything installed by next Sunday. Hope being the key word, I have a bunch of other projects around the house that I need to wrap up. Including enough z-wave switches to finish the rest of my house. The damn thing will be practically self-aware by the time I am done. I have IoT devices everywhere...lol.
