In case you've been holding off with your upswap because you're unsure of the quality of Josh's hand-crafted hidden projector unit, I thought I'd post a photo of some of the doors he has made for our house. The one with the white protective coating on it even has a window pane in it!
Clearly we've been trying to save on costs left right and centre through this project, so Josh has made some of the doors, all the kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, installed all the door frames, plus many other non-building things like driving the digger for weeks moving soil and mulch around. He even dug a very deep long trench in the clay by hand!
Anyway the point is as you can see in the above photo, he's very clever. The doors are made with macrocarpa, but he found out about a cool natural stain made from tea and vinegar. It darkens it to a lovely chocolatey colour and it really brings out the silver in the wood. Plus there's no nasty smell from the stain.
And the projector unit is also very clever. It uses a special hinge (like you get in those kitchen cabinets that open upwards above your head) to pop the projector up to just the right height for the screen. What's more you can still use it as a coffee table for your drinks and snacks while you watch a movie! Then just pop the lid back down when you're done and it's all hidden again :)
We also use it as an island charging station in the middle of our lounge for when we've got our laptops out on the couch. It has a multi plug inside where we can plug in our chargers so we don't have to sit next to a power point on the wall when a battery goes flat. We can have the lid shut and just feed the charger cord out from under the lid.
Please get in touch soon if you have something you'd like to upswap for this amazing unit (includes projector and surround sound and electronic projector screen too). :)
