Fly2e's Media Room Project!

[Fly2e]

I documented the entire renovation of a bare white walled room into a really cool living room.
This room includes a recessed 40 gallon salt water fish tank, full custom lighting, a new leather couch, I installed a ledge-stone "Cultured stone" wall around the tank and have access to it from a closet in another room and a pretty wild entertainment system.

The entertainment system consists of a 61"DLP HDTV screen, a custom audio closet that feeds the house system with volume control in every location, closet was done in custom cedar and a real cool conversion of wall space was implemented to allow for airflow. Full Dolby 7.1 surround sound and an image that is pretty sweet!!

The salt water tank is pretty interesting also.
I used to dive allot back in my 20's, (miss it much), and used to have a 55 gallon salt water tank! I got a 40 gallon that was needed to fit in the closet under the main staircase and it "cycled" 2 months ago! All the salt water levels have been goo d now for over a month and added a few colorful characters to the tank two weeks ago!

I photographed the entire renovation and was wondering if anybody would be interested in seeing the shots?


I don't want to go through folders of shots and edit them down if nobody is interested.

Here is a teaser of the fish tank!

What salt water tank would not be complete with a clown fish!
One if the first fish you buy after your damsels & dominos are used as guinea pigs as the tank cycles. I lost 4 of them, at $25 for 4, that is allot!

OK, keep on the lookout for the shots then.
remember, the first shots will be quite boring as It is a bare room!!

Below is the exterior transformation!


Here is what I did to the house back in 2001!

AFTER. This shot was taken on Heather's 1st Birthday!

Wow... you're a bit handy, aren't you?

I'd definitley like top see more shots of the renovation, esp. the A/V install (very curious as to what system you used for multizone audio and control- let's see that rack!).

Come on Dave! You've been promising to show me these photos for AGES!!!!

[SkyNoz]

Wow the before and after shot's are amazing, practically a new house. Wonder how much the value has gone up. Loosing fish that are worth alot can be a pain, considering you can't do any thing with them when their dead, Feed it to the cats.. lol

[Fly2e]

Ok,
I will post the renovation since it looks like some are interested.

Thanks!
