Everybody has some sort of a main viewing room or area of the house where there is a larger TV and comfortable seating where families and friends gather to watch movies, TV shows or play video games. The big screen TV has become a digital fireplace of sorts or a congregation point in the house. With hectic schedules governing our lives, we often struggle to find a family grounding area within homes. My family is no different and to that end, we regularly schedule movie nights where we can all just hang out together, huddling around the big screen.
But sometimes, you need to do a bit more and take on a project that will benefit your friends and family in a different way. My friend and neighbor realized that he had a way to contribute to a “movie going” experience but all from the comfort of his backyard. Recently, he invited all of the neighborhood dads over for a “Dad’s Night Out” at his place to drink beers, eat appetizers and watch a movie classic of our generation: Strange Brew.
Being a gadget geek and someone who knows a bit about A/V, but definitely has an appreciation for people’s home theater setups, I was thoroughly impressed with the do-it-yourself backyard home theater that my neighbor Steve, set up, enough so that I wanted to share it with others in hopes that others may benefit from these instructions.
