Poor Man's Home Theater (front view)..still work in progress

The Wife Acceptance factor ;-)

A big challenge was the location of where to mount the Da Lite screen. Given the requirement of the screen to be centered with the two front tower speakers and factoring in the dimensions of the family room and the location of the kitchen nook, the locations of the wall studs did not allow me to mount the screen to be centered with the TV inlet, fireplace, etc. The screen is a pull down and can be tucked away when not in use. However, to minimize wrinkles I'll likely just leave it down. I used chain links from Lowes as extensions for the screen mounting brackets to workaround the location of the wall studs.
