Well, for tonight. We had a lot of fun! The bar looks great. I updated my Google Pages site with new pics of the bar.

<See it for yourself>

Ladies Drink Free all night long! Big Screen TV! Kitchen is open all night!

I ordered a bar from Gothic Cabinet Craft. It will be here sometime tomorrow. I picked up a pair of barstools from Target with cusions that actually match the couch. All I need now is some lighting and to decide how to decorate the bar area.

The past few days were spent programming TV remotes!!! Who would have ever thought that it could be so difficult.

First, I ordered a second universal remote for the living room. I had used this remote for a long time at my parents house and it controlled everything I owned. It worked great, only I had some difficulty programming my DVR/Cable Box combo that I got from Cablevision. I went online and ordered a better remote with learning capabilities.

Playing around at the website, I realized that I could call OFA and they could update my remote over the phone, so after a 5 minute call, I got the original remote working. Figures, right?

So the new remote came in and it’s awesome! Aside from controlling my stereo and cablebox, it learns from other remotes. so I programmed it to work my projector too. Now, I only need one remote to work ALL the electronics in my house… Including my bedroom..

In case you want a cool remote, I recommend the following:

All in One URC-6131 (6-device, TiVo function buttons, $10)
All in One URC-6960 (Kameleon, 6-Device, Learning-able, $34)

I posted the pictures of my living room. Check em out.

Cablevision is great when it comes to needing A/V cables and things. On my way to work I picked up two 25 foot coax cables and a short cable as well as some RCA Audio-Video cables to hook up my TVs and stuff.

After work I met up with Ken and we booked over to Home Depot to pick up a few things I needed. I grabbed a case of Wire-ties, some adapters I needed, and some long extension cords.

I set up my computer desk and started to wire my network. I set up the projector (aimed and sized the display) and hooked up the TV/DVD to it.

I hooked up all my lights so that I can turn them on and off from the lightswitches!! What a concept.
