    Yes there will be.

    I have yet to finalize how I am going to hang it, meaning, how to secure it to the wall. As stated previously it is an ICF basement so if the straps don't line up with the hangers on the piece, then I will have to go through 1/2" drywall and 2" of styro to get to the concrete. I don't want to have this thing dropping. My contractor said he has 70# shear strength drywall plugs, but it still makes me leery about 2 solitary plugs holding up my prized possession.

    I also have to figure out how the arrangement of it will hang as I will be possibly be procuring another for the final tour. I do have 2 spotlights  that were supposed to show it, but now I may have to move things over to accommodate the new piece.

    Thanks for remembering. Kudos to you.

    I guess that is one, or 2 more things that will make it more of a mancave for Gerhardk.

    Realistically what SWMBO in her right mind would let her hubby have a urinal and hang up 2 pieces like that on the wall in the recroom. Boggles me sometimes.

    I had to go stalker on you to remember what we were talking about :). 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    The piece de resistance finally got hung in the mancave and filled up the Crüe cabinet. I think I'll need a couple more. I don't know why the pics are rotated. They are fine on my phone. Sorry.

    Pool table finally arrived yesterday. I also have set up the theatre with the aforementioned Sonos. I think I will have to run a pair of play 1s in the corners by the pool table just to fill the room with sound more.

    Outstanding looking setup man, kudos to you and SWMBO. The urinal is an awesome idea. I am also running the Sonos Playbar, Sub, and Play:3's in the rear. Awesome sound, I just wish Sonos would add native DTS decoding. The last scene in Skyfall sounds incredible through the system.

    I too was hesitant about the DTS issue, but stepping into the digital age per say, I do most of my movie watching off of Netflix etc. I am also in the process of burning all my music to ITunes and my Ipad to stream it via Sonos.

    In my man cave (AKA "manbearcave") I have a Harmon Kardon 7.1 receiver,  7 speakers, 2 subs and 2 outdoor speakers connected up with a TV, cable box, Roku, Google Chromecast, and MBP.  Also a projector and a giant motorized screen.  Everything is networked to the rest of the house.  I have a couple auxiliary ports and bluetooth so I can connect to my camera, or cell phones, ipods, etc.  Pretty much everything I could possibly need.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
