Cahoots [s]

Bobby called to chat me up and managed to suggest moving the tv to the east wall to better accommodate passengers of the media room thrillride. Coincidentally - or not - when I returned from work I found the room arranged as such. Oh well, in the words of Franco, 'give the people what they want.'

The couch is now elevated in a mock up of what could become stadium seating (with a real couch). Wires are all over the place since I finished splicing audio to coax way past my bed time. It's all for the surround though, most lines are now going through the crawlspace. They pop out a little under the tv, but will soon be obscured with a duct or behind tiles. The various electronics are now in the recess under the stairs, next up is arranging them elegantly.

And soon I'll be grabbing a few boxes of these, painting them matte grey or black, and darkening/deafening the walls.



I'm interested to hear SFS's second opinion on the bathroom door. Most people go to another person for a second opinion. I've found I can get a different viewpoint from him by asking the same question a second time. His first response invariably describes his own style/renovation.

CR: What do you think of skylights versus solar tubes?
SFS: Big glowing wall! 3form4lyf.
CR: Does that really say 'oceanside mountain home' to you?
SFS: No, but that's what I'm getting, it's kewwwwl.

CR: Should I get a grey slate or a green slate for the shower?
SFS: River rocks in a concrete matrix!
CR: Huh? I'm not sure that really goes with my...
SFS: True. Grey slate. I decided on the floor for my bathroom, river rocks in a concrete matrix.
CR: I wouldn't have guessed.

So I'm interested in what he'd think of a single slider as it carries the benefit of a pocket door without the feeling of being in some sort of mass transportation vessel. It's also good to know he doesn't lock the door when he's laying cable.

That said, I was at SFS House this weekend and it is the illest.
