A step closer

Wednesday's big task was getting the projector placed correctly. In then end I had to:

1. Extend the arm down about 13"
2. Move the projector about 8" closer to the wall
3. Shifted the centre of balance of the projector forwards
   

This shrunk my screen to about a 96" diagonal, but, honestly, that's a much better size for the room anyway.

The screen, which I always thought would be the easiest part of the whole project, has turned out to be the most difficult. Wednesday I started to prepare the wall for painting, but after reading the comments on the last post, I decided to go with a cloth screen following the suggestion made by The Fool and following the link posted by Jeremy. I returned the painting material and bought all the parts for the screen. Hopefully that'll take form this weekend.

I have had the opportunity to watch a little of some movies on the wall. It's nice and big but all the characters look a little jaundiced. I guess the big screen was never meant to be orange.
