So I've got a long way to go before they all leave the nest. Seriously I love them all and wouldn't have it any other way, they are good kids.

LOL we not only have about two feet of snow on the ground but its been bitterly cold here for the last week and a half (in the -30C -20F range)

Kids are great!
I come from a family of 5 kids, my wife from 7 kids.
I met her a little too late in life (9 years ago), I'm 45 now, a little late for #4, honestly if we met earlier I would have been ok with #4, oh well 3 keeps us very-very busy as it is.

Here in Brighton, Mich we have almost 10" new snow from Wed's storm.
This is turning out to be a snowy winter, since Thanksgiving mostly snow except a few weird warm days.

Back to the contest, maybe we can each get 2 gallons.....(hint, hint)

My three, 2 boys and 1 girl, keep me busy. The wife's two sisters living with us makes it pretty crowded. During the day my wife runs a home daycare which makes the house even more crowded. My HT will be my sanctuary away from the madness.

It gets pretty cold where I am too. It's been making a habit of going to -10 for a week then up to slightly above freezing and wet for a couple days. Everything is a sheet of ice around here.

Well, I don't have any sad stories but, I do have between 10-20 people over for the big games(football, nascar, baseball, basketball,etc..) and i usually supply all the fixins'. I am very green to starting my own theater but know that the price of going to the movies for a family of 4 is almost like taking out a small loan for a used sub-compact. My idea is to be the talk of the shop making everyone jealous. Hey who knows mabye I can start my own neighborhood theater to help differ the costs of the fixins' (you know the wife, get as much as you can for free.ha! ha!). I just want to say good luck to all,but I hope I win!!

**paints** · **02-21-08, 02:29 PM**

Well. I woke up today and yep.....still in Kansas.

**wbassett** · **02-26-08, 10:17 PM**

Three days left, I guess we have all our contestants!

**tonyvdb** · **02-27-08, 04:27 PM**

Seriously I would feel very guilty if I did win this prize considering I just won the SVS sub giveaway, so If I do win this I will give this up to someone else who has posted in this thread.

Tell you what Tony...I will take the SVS sub off your hands and you can keep the screen kit if you win, that way you have a clear mind about it all

I would have tried for the win myself, but I already got a free sheet of laminate from Bill so this would not be fair either on my part.

LOL! Not on your life.
I'm still waiting for it as they have a bit of a backlog of orders to catch up on so its looking like mid March before its shipped.
All the best to everyone who has entered to win this great prize.

**wbassett** · **03-03-08, 05:31 PM**

And we have a winner! jt1!!!

jt shoot me your address via PM. I'll check the weather and if it looks like it's not going to be cold for awhile (below freezing) I'll get it sent out.

If for some reason jt1 isn't with us any longer and I don't hear back from him, then it will go to the runner up.

**mechman** · **03-03-08, 07:31 PM**

Congrats jt!

**tonyvdb** · **03-03-08, 07:42 PM**

Yes, Congratulations JT. This is a nice and very useful prize.

**MatrixDweller** · **03-03-08, 07:45 PM**

Congrats jt1!

Be sure to post pics of your completed HT with your free screen.

**cynical2** · **03-03-08, 07:58 PM**

Indeed, congrats! (Now, you better come back and claim it

)

**paints** · **03-03-08, 11:07 PM**

Congrats man! After you get your screen painted on. You can come on over and help me roll mine.

I need all the help I can get. I live in Kansas ya know!

**mtbdudex** · **03-04-08, 07:44 AM**

So;
Who won the DIY screen giveaway??

[edit after posting]
Duh, I posted this from page 1, congrats jt1

Now, you have to post picts of this screen paint in action and then do a "real user" review.

Have fun fellow DIY'er.

**cynical2** · **03-04-08, 03:16 PM**

How long are we going to give jt1 to respond? Looks like his last post at the Shack was Jan 31st...

A week from contest end? 10 days?

**jt1** · **03-05-08, 05:36 AM**

Thanks it made my day.

I am still here. We had thunderstorms yesterday and I cannot log on from my home account, plus had a roof leak. Not many post recently because nothing is happening except for some A/V wiring going in. Hopefully drywall in the next few weeks and then some pictures.

How do I PM someone?

**jt1** · **03-05-08, 05:40 AM**

I can't PM from my office. AT&T is supposed to be out today to repair the home PC. If you can use regular email my address is jtaylor@jacksonemc.com

**cynical2** · **03-05-08, 07:04 AM**

Welcome back, jt1! I thought maybe you had fallen asleep in a stupor in your new HT.

And, congrats again!

You have to have a certain number of posts before your PMs work...I think it's 10.

**Rett** · **03-08-08, 07:26 AM**

Congrats JT1

I signed up a few days late for this contest

but if you really want to test if something is Idiot Proof, send it my way, since I'm the biggest Idiot around ! If I can do it, ANYONE can.

For those interested in jt1's overall HT progress, I see that he started a thread here.

Once he gets to the screen itself, I'm sure he'll give us a great review of the DIY Theater product (which is a great product).
