Well, here is my vision of my Home Theater:
I am in Seminary to be a pastor right now, so baised on the Money that I will be making (hardly any, because that is not why I am doing the profession) I will not be able to build this, but I love dreaming. (heh heh)
Well, also (being United Methodist) I will be part of an itenerate system which means I will live in one parsonage after so many years and then move to another town in another parsonage.
Well, I will have no idea what each of these houses will be in size or shape (therefore I will not ever, until I retire, be able to build my own home theater)
So... after all that background (as if you cared) here is what I want to build:
I want to build a hydrolic couch lift.
I think it would be possible to build some type of wooden base that would long be about 5"-7" off the gorund that I would be able to lift the couch to a good height for staduim seating. I would of course put rope lighting around the edge of the wooden box lift. I think that the wooden base under the couch should be larger that the couch and should probably stick out the lengeth of a step.
My wife wants the couch to be level enough to be able to have people over and they sit in their chairs and not have to look up at the people sitting in the couch. When it was moving time I would love to be able to press on my Pronto for my home theater and everything gets turned on, and then my guests actually rise into the air while the THX demo is going on.
Just a thought and a dream, that I think would be really neat to do.
If any one is a master at building things like this I would love to see some form of blueprints that would be cool to look at.
Of course the best idea is fro the couch to be level with the floor of the house and then rise up out of the floor, but I will not be able to do that in houses that churches own and not me.
So what do you think? is it possible to build with out it being known that your guest will raise towards the roof?
