Custom Home Theater Design And Installation Is Easier Than You Think

The installation of a home theater entertainment system in
the comfort of your own home can revolutionize the way you
experience movies, music, your favorite TV programs and
more.

There are many options to consider when purchasing the best
home theater equipment - and luckily there is now greater
choice than ever when it comes to custom home theater
design, packages, set-up and accessories. For instance,
wireless home theater systems and speakers have become more
popular in recent years, as they offer greater style and
compactness, and allows for a more spacious home theater
room; and "home theaters in a box" are advertised as
providing a simple introduction to entertainment centers.
Home theater stores are also willing to combine top quality
individual parts (such as custom home theater projectors,
speaker systems, DVD players, receivers and screens) in
whatever way you choose, and for cheaper than you might
expect.

Additionally, building your own custom home theater system
is increasingly simple and cost effective. Many home
theater magazines and webzines offer useful information on
custom home theater construction: including practical
instructions such as home theater plans and layout advice,
audio system plans (including surround sound), DIY wiring
diagrams and advice on custom home theater electronics.

Websites can also provide you with expert-quality home
theater reviews on products from high street companies such
as Sony, Yamaha, Panasonic, Pioneer, Bose, Onkyo and
Samsung - often complete with photo galleries - so that you
stay informed whether you choose to buy online or not.

If you have a custom home theater idea you are unsure
about, or simply want to discuss, you may also find it
valuable that a lot of these websites contain forums in
which you can exchange ideas and suggestions with others
planning to build their own home theater. Whichever home
theater option you chose, the web is a valuable resource
that can be a great aid when deciding on the best
entertainment center for you.

Buying or creating a custom home theater may be more than
just a purchase - it can turn into a lifestyle! This is
reflected in the vast array of home theater accessories and
furniture available, from décor such as custom cabinets and
speaker stands, to time- and trouble-saving items like the
Home Theater MasterT - an acclaimed universal remote
control. Options in home theater room design include a
variety of seating, whether you opt for a chair or a
recliner, and ranging from cost-effective to the ultimate
in luxury. Websites can also provide you with the best home
theater room plans that can optimize your space and
enjoyment of a DVD entertainment center.

The Wide Appeal of Equestrian Home Decor

Equestrian home decor gives horse lovers a chance to show
their love and appreciation for their four-legged friends.
There are all kinds of home furnishings, accessories, and
accents that feature a horse of some sort. It might be a
table lamp with a horse sculpture on the base, a comforter
that depicts horses running across a meadow, or a piece of
wall art with a horse theme.

There are many reasons for the wide appeal of equestrian
home decor. First, many people simply admire the form and
beauty of the animal. Also, a horse might be reminiscent of
time spent on a grandparent's farm or a summer camp where
you learned to ride.

You might have seen examples of equestrian home decor in
all sorts of homes, but the horse-themed decor that we're
most fond of is found in homes with one of the casual
styles of home decorating, such as western, rustic,
southwestern, or country. Some people might be surprised to
know that an increasingly large percentage of horse-themed
decor is in homes of people that do not own horses.

Take a moment to think about your favorite horses from
books, movies, or television. A few that come to mind for
us are Trigger (the horse of Roy Rogers), Silver and Scout
(the horses of the Lone Ranger and his sidekick Tonto),
Black Beauty, My Friend Flicka, and the mischievous Mr. Ed.
Back in the 1950s and 1960s, many children in grade school
had a lunch box that featured one of these horses.

Okay, let's take a little trip down memory lane. How many
of us had a rocking horse when we were kids? How about a
blanket with cowboys and/or cowgirls and horses? Anything
else with a horse on it? Yes, there's a chance that you had
some sort of equestrian home decor back then and did not
even realize it.

There are horse-themed figurines, statuettes, and pottery
dating back centuries from different cultures that created
the pieces to honor the horse. The pieces that still exist
are often a real treasure for a collector.

Whether you want to decorate an entire room with equestrian
home decor or just add a few pieces here and there, you can
find a wide variety of items to accent your home, such as a
horse-themed fireplace screen, wall art, bedding, rugs,
throw pillows, and so much more.

Adding equestrian home decor in your bedroom can be
accomplished with a few simple horse-themed items such as a
well-placed picture or two, a comfy floor rug, and a lamp
and/or lampshade. Let's not forget the bedding and
comforter. With their large surface area, they can show one
or more horses in a pastoral setting or running free across
a hillside.

Equestrian home decor is great for kids' rooms as well.
Here, you can brighten a child's room with images of colts
and fillies playing in a field. The kids will love a wooden
rocking horse. Children's bedding has many designs with
horses to choose from. You can also take the room decor one
step further with an age-appropriate lamp that has horses
depicted on the base or the shade. The finishing touch
would be a decorative, yet playful horse design on a wall
border.

Whatever your reason for being attracted to equestrian home
decor, you can be assured that you will have plenty of
decorative items to choose from.

7 Steps To Take Before Moving Your Grandfather Clock

Some time or other you will have to move your longcase
clock whether it's in the process of moving house or just
time to clean behind the case and move it for decorating. A
lot of damage can be done by just picking the clock up and
moving it in one piece without taking a number of
precautions So whether you are moving your grandfather
clock ten foot or ten mile Always

1.Wind up the clock so the weights are as close to the seat
board as you can get them, but remember you need to be able
to put the weights back onto the pulley hooks when
reassembling, so leave yourself some room to hold the
pulleys with one hand while holding the weight with the
other. A good guide line is to wind the pulleys up to just
above the trunk door top.

2.Take of the hood to expose the movement and dial and
place masking tape or the like over the gut line that is
around the strike and going barrels, this will stop the gut
line from springing out and getting tangled when you take
off the weights and will keep everything in place when you
lift the movement and dial from the case.

3.Take off the weights and it's a good idea to mark them by
sticking a piece of masking tape on to each one and writing
on them L (Left) and R (Right) or one, two and three in the
case of a modern clock with a chiming movement that has
three weights, this will ensure the weights go back in the
right place, as you will see when you lift them there is a
difference in weight.

4.Now take the pendulum off the movement, being very
careful not to damage the thin suspension spring (thin
piece of spring steel) at the top of the pendulum which is
threaded through the crutch at the back of the movement.

5.You can now lift the movement and dial from the case and
away from the trunk cheeks by lifting the whole thing up
with the seat board and placing it in its packing case. It
is best to pack the movement and dial stood upright in the
box making sure the bottom of the dial is not crushing the
gut lines. This will also keep the front of the dial and
clock hands safe, plus the added bonus of keeping the
crutch at the back of the movement from possible damage or
bending.

6.Your clock is now ready to be moved safely to its new
location. To reassemble just reverse the dismantling
procedure put the clock into beat and you are up and
running.

7.If transporting the clock in your own vehicle be sure the
clock case is secure and will not slide, preventing any
damage to the veneers or mouldings. We have found it is
wise to protect the suspension spring on the end of the
pendulum by taping it to a piece of thick card to prevent
it form being damaged or bent, also make sure the weights
are stowed really well as you don't want 12lb weights
rolling around the boot or foot well of your car.

If using a professional moving company it is always best to
dismantle and pack your grandfather clock ready for the
removal men to transport. As most are very well experienced
in moving furniture very few understand the workings of a
clock and attempts to move longcase clocks without using
these precautions will inevitably cause damage that is not
detected until long after the move has been taken, and by
that time they have long gone often leaving the owner with
a very large repair bill.
