Ventilation pipes for the hush box, air in on one side and out on the other
Ventilation pipe for the equipment, just to suck hot air out. Pips for speaker wires and lighting
One of four connection boxes for some spots that I will put up in the celling. (Something like that on the left)

This is where the equipment will be located. (Amplifier and HTPC for now)
Me screwing up some of the plasterboards

Test of HD clip (720p) Sharktale

First 2 sections of the ceilling
Started on the last section of the ceilling
Started on the hushbox (not finished! Wooden plate is just to test the warm air removal with the pipe connected to the ventilation)

 
From left front corner - From right front corner

 
From left back corner - From right back corner

Building the box for the center speaker and insulating the back hiden "wall". The space/room behind the screen wall will be used for storage and maybe a airconditioner (if needed)

    
More of the center speaker box (bakside) Into the storage area, Also the "screen" wall with the plasterboard done.
The hole in the wall up to the left is the access hole to the storage area. Will make a cover to seal that up later.

17.9.2005

  
Screen wall insulated. Started putting up plaserboards on the last wall.

2.10.2005

  
Putting in the second door and moving the old "into" the cinema room

4.10.2005

        
Making the seal between the 2 doors

25.10.2005

    
Put up some metal boxes for the spots above the door. Started working on the dvd storage and equipment shelves. Also made a way to
make the air get sucked in below the equipment (through wall) and up behind it and out. I can also use it to hide cables to equipment.

07.11.2005
      
Finishing the air vent for the equipment, putting in some electric coupling boxes for later us and finishing the
dvd storage space and equipment storagee , and stuffing all the empty space with insulation. (some 60 cm thick)



Final piece of plasterboard is put up!!

11.11.2005
    
Most of the spackling (filling) of the plasterboard done. Cleared out all stuff and rubbish to make ready for the floor.

24.11.2005

Det flytande golvet vil bli lagt slik.
The "floating" floor will be made like this.

27.11.2005

    
19mm bord lagt ned, 20mm trinnlydsplater lagt ned, boks for ledninger til rumperister er felt ned i det flytande golvet. 15mm sponplater er lagt ned (Ullpapp under)

  
Skumgummipølse er på plass mellom vegg og flytande golv. Skjøyt mellom golv og flytande golv er tettet med silikon.

Vegger og tak er malt med Butinox 6502-B (Medium mørk grå)
Walls and ceiling is painted with Butinox 6502-B (Medium dark gray)

Limt opp filt i taket over lerret og på veggen bak lerret. Dette for å minske lysrefleksjon fra tak og vegger
Har og startet med å sette opp lister (som er oljebeiset mahogni farge)

Put up the felt in the ceiling above the screen and on walls behind the screen. This is to minimize the reflection of light from the walls and ceiling.
Also started putting up the moulding (which is varnish stain with a mahogany colour)

Laget til to høytalerstativ for mine gamle (midlertidige) front høytalere. Satt opp 2 spotter for å sjekke korleis det vil bli.
Eit (Ganske tjukt) velur vegg til vegg teppe er bestilt, men eg får det vel neppe før jul. :-(

Made two speaker stands for my old (temporary) front speakers. Also put up two of the four spots to check how it looked.
A tick velour wall-to-wall carpet is ordered, but I doubt if I get it before Xmas :-(
