I have almost $1300 in materials sitting in a home Depot shopping cart that would be everything needed to finish out this portion of my basement. The only reason it hasn't been finished yet is because I have been waiting over a year to get geothermal heating installed which would have required me to rip apart a finished basement to do. Now that that project is complete, I can finish out my basement and have a nice home theater experience.

Bungee cord and some eye hooks

Re do it all. Sorry but this is the best way. The stringers look bad too You can buy pre* cut stringers and the rest is math if you have basic woodworking skills you should be able to do it!

Edit spelled pee instead of pre

I have a console that is under the screen that has a built in electric fireplace in it. Unfortunately, the console sits too high for me to get a 120" picture with the ceiling height that I have.

I may have to end up getting (or building) a different console though.

I'm sorry, that is what I meant. So few people aware of them that any time I read projector I just assume they are talking about LED or LCD projectors. My bad. However if that's what you have, why not build a box to protect it and either set it on the floor or mount it to the wall really low, or within a console that will protect it? Iis it just that you don't want to give up floor space?

It’s worth the $15 to $20. It could save you hours.

Could you recommend something more expensive?

Double headers and metal hangers. Support the cut joist while you are doing it. It’s a pretty basic framing job.

What do you mean by laser tv? A quick Google search makes me think you are just talking about a laser ultra short throw projector, which is what I have.

As a landlord I appreciate a person taking care of odd little things if they can. I have developed this kind of relationship with my renters and in exchange we sharply discount rent and allow any items needed to be reduced from rent. I reduce rent by a lot. If they mess up a door I’m ok. I can replace entire door and frame for $150 if needed. I’m more than willing to drop rent to have peace.

I built a shed in the spring with a friend and solo renoed my master bathroom (took it down to the studs and redid some plumbing). That's not including the projects I did with my dad growing up which includes taking the unfinished 2nd floor of our garage and turning it into a studio apartment. So I wouldn't say that I have 0 experience....

Skill wise this would be super easy, I just wanted to make sure that what I wanted to do isn't super crazy.

I just realized I titled this incorrectly and I can't change it. I am NOT trying to ground a neutral wire lol. I'm trying to ground the ground wire

In many places an opening that narrow would not even require sistering.
