What type of projector and size screen are you using now? Getting new stuff for the new room?

SW, I would seriously consider a laser projector because projector bulbs are costly and a real PITA to change. I know even EPSON is making laser projectors! A Laser is supposed to last 20K hours and unlike bulbs does not lose light output when they're ready to expire.

Most projector bulbs last 2000 hours and lose light output at about 1800 hours. My last projector bulb costs almost $500 to replace!!!!!!

I agree. Tell that to Ricky. My Panny 8000 I bought just as LED projectors were coming out. But my current one has more than 2x the life of my previous Panny projector at 5k hours & the brightness stays quite constant over the time. Still, it kills me to spend $400 on a proper Panasonic bulb. Yup. Laser is the future if it's in your future

“I’ve been from Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonopah.” Has a more original, unique and perfect lyric ever been written?

I guess I know what I might listen to tonight. Ya nudged me over the edge.

Mr E, I anxiously await the return of my SONY laser 3D projector ... and in the meantime, I'm well satisfied with my 2016 55" OLED 3D TV which I have in my bedroom which surprisingly is still going strong. Came perfectly calibrated out of the box and I know SAMSUNG is big on LED and QLED TVs ....and of course NO 3D!

Sounds like a great deal but 75" is too big for my boudoir!

Thanks anyway!

It’s a good thing. I once saw Ry Cooder open for Little Feat at the Bottom Line in NYC. Lowell George was still alive and in the band. Cooder didn’t sit in with them though. I always wondered why George, an incredible slide player in his own right, had Cooder play slide on Willin’. My guitar surmised that it was probably because it was a good hang.

I was never big on 3D but I do kick myself for not buying a Kuro model when I could.

Ralphie, the wife says no TV in the bedroom.

Edit: If I had a 3D TV in my bedroom I’d probably have nightmares.

Bah. Who needs 3D when you can watch eyelid movies?

3D or NOT 3D ...that is the question!

Well I'm single Mr E ....so no wifey factor and I love 3D ..... LG's OLED 3D is THE best I've ever seen! They finally perfected it and then discontinued it.

Par for the course, I guess!

 

[mandrix]

Whut?

Exactly!
Dreams, my friend, dreams.

 

[Sonik Wiz]

I get it.

The foam insulation goes down 2 feet from top of slab. This helps to keep the soil below the foundation from freezing and expanding. Important for the foundations longevity. If the soil near and below freezes it can add pressure to the foundation - with shifting and cracking. And it helps keep the floor warm

Yes - a house with foundation walls - and a basement, it is best to pour later after all load bearing is up. But my barn is - essentially - a slab on grade project - ( no basement )

I find this interesting. The rules between different parts of the country are so varied. I naturally assumed the stricter requirements would be in Buffalo rather than in Michigan.

Here, for residential work, the minimum footer ground depth is 42" . It used to be 36" and if you wanted to be extra sure on a given build, you went to 48". The idea being that those were the max frost depths and anything buried at least that deep would never freeze. I can only assume the addition of insulation in some way enhances that.

Ricky do you know the min frost depth where you are?
