So, so true...

 

8/10

 

Bump

Get done?

 

 

No I had tennis Saturday morning, so afterwards I didn't do any work. No clue what I did Sunday My team did make the playoffs though 1st round is this Saturday.

On Monday I installed the insulation. I should be able to get a majority of the drywall done tonight, and fix the hole in the HardiPlank siding depending on if it rains or not.

Thursday - Playing tennis, but should be able to go purchase MDF for the frame of the entertainment center. Friday night I am hoping to finish the whole thing, as furniture arrives Saturday.

Will post more pictures this weekend. I used my Axim to transfer pictures from the camera to the computer on my CF card. Well my puppy got ahold of my Axim, and let's just say to the Axim.

 

Some more little updates.. I will have it finished tomorrow






First piece of drywall up.

 

What are you going to do with the old gas line?

 

Just cut if off flush with the wall. As long as you don't turn it on it's not a problem.

 

Ummmm.. I wouldn't play it that way. Take it completely out and put a nipple on it after the shutoff valve (which I assume is in the lower level).

No matter what that thing should have a cap on it so you're not relying on the valve being closed to keep from filling your TV cavity with gas. CRTs + natural gas = a really bad combination.

 

There is a gas line on the outside that is split. 1 side goes into the house (as you see) the other side is for the gas grill. I will take pictures of this as I need to do a little work on the outside when I get around to it.

My plan is to remove the pipe, and just have the gas line outside power the gas grill. Should be simple enough, but I need my Dad to bring a couple pipe wrenches down and help me out.. waiting on him to come tomorrow

 

Sorry, should have used red text. I give you more credit than that (I hope).

So, it's all done, right?

I've used these famous last words myself:

 

Yeah.. not done I'm a huge procrastinator..

I WILL have it done this week though. I thought I was going to be able to remove the gas pipe by myself, but I couldn't get it to budge. My Dad is coming tomorrow to remove the pipe and finish the hardiplank siding on the outside.

My deadline is August 22nd, first big party at the house, so I have plenty of time, which isn't good for me

 

What should I bring?

 

Fire extinguisher?

 

And a canary.

 

Nice!

Okay, in all seriousness. Kudo's to you for doing this. I did however raise an eyebrow (or two) with the sentence that began with "Yeah the fiancee wanted the ......" Oh, the un-initiated. You'll learn soon enough. She's holding this in reserve, trust me on that.

My mom was always ripping down something or another. A wall here, doorways, etc. One day my brother who was only about three at the time was talking to his dad (my stepdad) on the phone. When he asked what mommy was doing he said "throwing the wall in the trash can". I guess that's where I got if from.
Hopefully I won't go as far as she did. The last house they bought didn't have ANY drywall at all when she was done with the demo for a small project.

 

Zing!

 

Yeah she wanted the fireplace, but since I bought the house I make the decisions IMO it's stupid to have the fireplace burn gas, when the heater can just burn that same gas and heat the house better and more efficiently.

The type of fireplace I had is very overrated.

 

Okay so I took today off from work just so I could finish this project I didn't take pictures as I progressed though.

All I have left is to paint the MDF black, and then hook everything up. I will have this done tomorrow What a long day!

 

Looking good. Do you have sat for college game day.? If so how are you going handle the reciever issue?

 

No satellite, just cable. I have a splitter going to TV1, TV2, & Cable box. The majority of college games are on ABC, NBC, CBS, ESPN & ESPN2, so I'll be able to watch the ones I want to. Should of bought 2 more TVs

FYI it's 98% done and hooked up. I had to order a new HDMI cable because the one I have is a couple feet short. Monoprice FTW More pictures up tonight.

 

Nicely done. Just curious why didn't you put two tv's closer to the larger tv? Because it would be distraction?

 

I originally wanted to do side by side on the top left, but the left side of one of the TVs would have been cut off because of the width restrictions. I also decided to separate the "light" between the main TV and the other TVs + receivers. At night this would make watching a movie more enjoyable. But again the main reason was the ability to fit both TVs side by side... Putting them on top of each other was easier, but really there is no viewing restrictions from any place on the couch.

 

how is the sound going to work or is it going to be 2 mute buttons?

1 univeral remote?

 

Not enough TVs

Looks good.

 

All 3 TVs have audio going to the receiver, so I can switch the "output" on the receiver and that TV's audio will play in the surround sound. I am working on getting a universal remote though

 

Very nice HL, though I fear for your fiancees future wrath on your for removing the fireplace.

 

is that done?"

 

No.

1) Repair left column. Just need a 1X2 from Home Depot.
2) Waiting on HDMI & Audio shipment to hook plasma up to receiver/cable box.
3) Hook the computer up.
4) Hook the router up.
5) Add 2 more shelves to the left side big "box."
6) Get marble tile for bottom floor and bottom of entertainment center.

Doing #1 & #5 tonight. #2, #3, #4 will be done once I receive #2 in the mail. I'm calling a person about #6 to get an estimate.

 

Updates?

 

i would have painted it all white but its not too bad

 

Got it done. I'll try to remember to take some pictures tonight.

 

 

Update....

 

It's football season! I'll try to remember tomorrow!
