Thanks Mike, my HT has been in the making for years. My four surrounds and center channel have been with me since about 1998. I have drivers and tweeters coming for TLAHs and curved SLA.
If you looked close at the slip covers you'd be less impressed.

They'll be going away when I finish the TTs.

What more do you need?
How about a fridge (and contents) ?

LOL! When I was single, my small apartment had the kitchen two steps away from the living room. The fridge and ice-cold beverages were "right there."
On a related note, my wife has said "I'm so glad there is no toilet in the garage. I would never see you!" She has no idea how correct she is.

Haha! That's awesome... and completely true. My brother's shop out behind his backyard has a bathroom. It's actually very convienient!

Well, my TLAHs and curved SLA are about ready for lacquer. Since I plan to finish the table tubas at the same time I spent the day yesterday and a bit of this morning putting the veneer and trim on them. They will be finished all black with a satin topcoat. Here's how the trim and veneer turned out...

In preparation for the under garage home theater, I drug the table tubas out of storage and finally started prepping them for lacquer. Over 5 years later... not too bad, right??

Not too bad, my JVC 3x5's are still in boxes for my home theater build. I'd say you got me beat by at least 3 years on your build and I haven't even started yet.

Thanks! The funny part is the finish was the quickest step but took the longest. This time I just told myself... you're not allowed to even move those into that room until they're finished!!!!
