@PVR:

Looks superb buddy. Really coming on well. I'd love mine to be quite as organised but unfortunately all the kids stuff has been stacked where I'd have put a nice row of units like yours...lol. Have plenty of products and like you have to have everything on display properly to gain access  8)

I have the same clock as you on the wall, but don't you find it a pain to tell the time on it at a distance due to the hands being the same damn colour as the rest of the face...lol

Also as someone else has mentioned, come on dude, sort those bucket handles out. They should all be facing the same way... :))

My compressor is always kept full as you just never know when you'll need it.

@Snipez:

Look forward to your build thread. Can imagine the house after our chat on Sunday.

But for true inspiration you need to see the below garages:

Agreed...lol.

I'd have something like one of those when I win the big one on the lottery.

Ok, now I am depressed with the sight of those garages and the cars  :))

The sign reads "Man Cave - enter at your own risk". Mrs PVR got that for Christmas for me :)

Lol! Should it not be on the other side of the door though??!!??

Regarding compressor I always empty mine- for longevity of the tank, seals and valves etc. Best practice from my car plant days.

Even from empty they don't take too long to fill up on the larger  tanks (but you do have the din until it is full!)

Nope as you've just hit the nail on the head of the real family dynamic in house pvr as that door leads to the kitchen... :P :))

Actually, no. The building is not attached to the house  :P

That door is to my office. As I get visitors there, I thought I might get funny looks if they saw that sign so perhaps better on the other side of the door then :)

Music installation finished today. Half the skirting done as well, very fiddly around the door frame though  :'(

Interested to know what you've done on the music front? I've got my Nakamichi nicely mounted on the wall with satellite speakers firing down and active sub in the corner.

Nothing as fancy as that, I have a HiFi unit in my office and I wired another set of speakers over the ceiling to the corners above the garage units.

Added a switch at the HiFi (simple unit - does not have A and B speaker settings) so I can turn the two sets of speakers on and off in the office and garage.

I'd have put you as a Sonos WiFi based system type....or is that the next stage once passed by 'Financial Control'?  :(
