Since Justin did such a great job posting on here while I was in Utah, I thought I would have him post this since it's his thing, but he hasn't had the time, so here goes.... anyway Justin got it into his head a while ago that he wanted a projector. He searched and searched the internet until he found a good one at a really good price that he was willing to pay. Then he just had to talk me into it. I gave in, knowing that the projector itself wasn't going to be the end of it. The next thing was something to mount it on. So he got that. Then it was the surround sound. So we moved the surround sound from the tv downstairs to the projector upstairs. Then it was a screen. I thought it looked just fine projecting the picture onto the wall, but Justin wanted perfection. So then it was a search for a screen. Screens are not cheap. So he looked at all of the options and he finally relented that instead of buying one, we would just go the DIY route and we made one. These projects are always more complicated than they sound, but it turned out pretty well!
This is the finished project. We of course, did not take a "before" picture, but I'm sure you can imagine what a blank wall looks like.
Here it is in action
This is what he got to mount the projector and everything on. I'm not a fan. It's definitely bachelor pad-ish and I don't know why but I think it looks like one of those trees in Africa.
So the next thing is to figure out how decorate that wall around the African tree.

I love the African Tree.. that is hilarious!!! So funny. It looks great though! I can't show Kade or he'll get the same itch and then we'll end up finishing the basement just for the projector!! ;)
Good to finally see it. Yeah, if Billy sees that he'll beg to get a leather couch! He's been begging to get a couch for his office--as if there is any room!
That is so cool!!! I love how you guys made it and how well it looks! I laughed so hard when you compared the stand to the tree! love it!
