Still waiting but getting there

Okay the windows I was waiting for have arrived and are fitted. The interior walls are in and the ceiling. It looks great. But no sign of the electrician for the final fit out.

I spent $400 on paint for the interior yesterday and painting is set down for Tuesday. I hope to get the walls, ceiling and floor done in one day with two of us painting. I think it is wishful thinking but aim high. White low sheen easy clean paint for the walls and satin clear coat for the floor.

For anyone following this saga, I finally made my decision between the smart TV and the  projector with a bit of advice from Alan Todd of Todds Hi Fi.  I will stick with my old plasma for short term and have purchased the amazing Mitsubishi HC 4000.
Two factors influenced this decision, the rising Australian dollar and falling smart TV prices and the performance of the projector in the sound lounge at Todd's HiFi.

A few minutes of seeing a properly tuned projector perform meant the decision was easy.
So now I am waiting for the electrician and the painter.

I am also fitting a very loud alarm with video recorder to protect my investments in the shed. Jaycar have excellent easy to install systems for a great price.

Part of the fun of this project has been to discover these new gadgets and suppliers.

The fake VJ Walls look great against the hardwood floor.
