Awesome transformation.

Question - How are those ceiling tiles looking? Hard to tell from the pic....

Been contemplating changing the old popcorn stucco ceiling in my basement and go tile.

Will be setting up the Marantz SR7010 tonight...

Ordered 4 Polk Audio MC80 8-inch in-ceiling speakers to replace the 6.5" Pyles currently installed but never used.

Once those arrive and are installed I'll have 2 pairs of Pyle speakers for sale if anyone is interested in a budget Atmos set up. I've never tested the Pyles but I will try them out likely tonight or tomorrow to see how they do.

So over the christmas break I completed a 5.1 setup in my garage, yes garage.

Apparently I like to play it to loud in the house at 1am LOL, I was telling my buddies I couldnt believe anyone could sleep as I was literally shaking the house with every shot...well apparenly the boss wasnt sleeping lol

I have an amp and pair of bookshelfs and powered sub in the garage already, so I needed a center channel and rears, so I asked my dad to bring a pair up over break (hes got more stereo then I could ever imagine of owning).

So I moved the xbox out to the shop and its hooked to;

AMP: Onkyo TX_SR700
Center : JBL Flix 20
Front: Polk Audio RTi6 2-way
Rear: Athena S.5 2-way - ceiling mounted
Powered Sub: Acoustic Labs S100ETH
TV: Sharp Aquos 46" LCD

Xbox is connected to TV with HDMI and im using Optical to the AMP

Its a hard life in the garage lol Can still park both vehicles in with lots of room to game.





While its nothing new, and not modern, it works, and sounds amazing for a garage setup. Ive always loved my dads older gear, although without HDMI, the amps are a powerhorse.

When I do want to play in the house I connect to the xbox with my Windows PC thats hooked up to my inside surround/TV and it streams find. Win/Win!

anyone have a propane or natural gas heater in the garage? i think next year i want to get that set up, even just to keep it around 5-10 in there. with the recent cold it was about 0- -10 and i was just worried about some of the chemicals freezing. amazing that out of a case of 24 only 3 water bottles had ice.

just wanted to see what if anyone is using to get some ideas.

Bubba does...I'm going to eventually. Separated combustion is the way to go and Modine or Reznor are top brands. That said, a Mr Heater from TSC or Princess is plenty and it doesn't take a big unit to heat stuff up.

See that big green thing hanging from the ceiling in my post above yours?

60,000 BTU Natural Gas furnace. ..garage is also insulated on all sides and roof.

I turn the thermstat to about 4 when I'm not in there , and if I'm in the shop I crank it to 20/25, and it warms up in about 5mins. Its the best thing I could have asked for with the house.

I keep all my chemicals/supplies in the garage year round.

It was there before we bought, however, my father in law had one put in last year, got one of the ones that hugs the ceiling from TSC and had a guy install it + gas line.

He put in one of these http://www.tscstores.com/MR-HEATER-8...x#.WHO2oFzI6ek

Eventually I will replace mine with something similar to get some head room back, but its REALLY hard to complain about it all already.

i didnt even notice that until you mentioned it. would 60 000 btu be something to large for me? i mean i have a 1 car garage its boxed in with an attic storage. insulation in the ceiling / floor up there but the roof is open is open. just want something to maintain the warmer temp in there. even if it was 10-15 thats fine for the time im in there. no tv or games in there... yet. but then again theres no room to move with the patio stuff in there until we build a shed.

Insulated 1 car? 30,000 BTU will be more than enough.

awesome! thanks

I need to insulate my garage, hopefully next year. It's not the warmest place to be right now but the beer stays cold.

[CarLadyLisa]

Awesome transformation.

Question - How are those ceiling tiles looking? Hard to tell from the pic....

Been contemplating changing the old popcorn stucco ceiling in my basement and go tile.

Personally I don't like them but they aren't horrible. They were there when we moved in and its better than the traditional drop down ceiling.

I would much prefer a flat ceiling or some georgeous wood slats. Its this new modern trend that fancy people are doing.

Awesome transformation.

We started on the dining room to master bedroom conversion. So many surprises!

Like going through a time machine.

Oh and I loathe wallpaper. I'll never touch the stuff. Ever ever

Indoor swimming pool too

I'm gonna assume if his roof leaks water, his walls probably do too which isn't good for water retention

It's the opposite corner of my work bench, so for now I have a bucket.

You mean "Natural evaporative humidifier"

How 'bout that gas bill increase? (I mean, mine only went up like $10, but still)

Don't forget the extra $0.05 per liter on fuel also.
Small increase but huge money overtime - for NOTHING
