No prob. I'm not very flexible but I have the splits down for dance purposes as well. Okay there are several stretches.

First: You want to face a wall and spread your legs. Sitting straight, you want to spread your legs and get as close to the wall as possible. Yes, it looks like your attempting to get your center split but it actually helps your side splits and your overall splits and flexibility. Now stay there and slowly stretch towards the wall for about ten minutes a day. After this stretch is done scoot away from the wall and bounce your legs in. It works as a sort of warm up for your legs and helps awaken them by stating "Hey! Your still stretching."

Then you'll want to do the infamous lunge. bounce lightly for eight counts then lean back with both legs straight and looking down, completely stretching out your back as well by leaning forward towards your knee. Reverse the process onto the other leg.

Next (attempt this on carpet or a surface that won't hurt you) you'll want to go into a lunging position. Now this will feel unusual but if your knee begins to hurt, stop. If not, and it just feels weird at first then that is completely normal. Lunge and lightly bring your back leg to your opposite hand. (ex: left lunge 'left leg forward' then you bend your right leg, holding it with your left hand) when in this position, gently pull your leg back and lunge at the same time. No worries, you'll FEEL the stretch. After doing this for 30 seconds on each side you'll be ready to slide into the splits.

When trying to do the splits hold yourself up for about ten-fifteen seconds, then slide down a bit more before taking a rest. Slide down til it hurts a little then stop and do the other side after the last stretch and repeat. Dance a little and try the split again and it'll get easier as you go.

Good luck and I hope I helped. These helped me amazingly and stick with it!

Based on just your list, assuming you've already wired, the order doesn't make a lot of different. Here's a couple things to consider first, that aren't on your list:

Since you have a dedicated room to work with, you have some considerations before fixing your final design. The difference between a good theater and an amazing theater is 50% room and 50% equipment.

Decisions to make:

1. Sound proofing. If the room is big enough you can build a room within your room by staggering new studwalls, floor and ceiling and placing special material between the walls. Floors are suspended much like motor mounts in a car.

2. Splaying the side walls. If you build an inner-room you should make the side walls unparallel. A 20 foot deep room should be two feet wider at the back as a minimum.

3. Breaking up the ceiling. Whether you build an inner room or not, you should change the shape of the ceiling from flat to? I like to build a lattice framework that looks like the swells of a wave from below, and then have it drywalled, but there are endless possibilities here. My curved ceiling hangs from the actual ceiling and doesn't extend to the walls in any direction. This allows for stunning lighting designs.

4. Raised seating. If you are planning rows, you will want to pick your seat now so the proper wires can be installed for hardwire control from Crestron, AMX, etc… Best choice is to have your eyes even with the center of the screen vertically and horizontally. If you're married, you might want to split the difference and share the best seating position.

5. Before any construction begins, equipment should be chosen so the correct wiring cna be installed in the walls. I would not use 16/2 or 16/4 in a dedicated theater. That's surround family room wire. I would recommend 12 or 14 gauge non oxydizing high strand count speaker wire.

6. The most important components in any system are the speakers, the display and the remote control. Those are the items that we interface with and hence will show the best return for dollar spent. The rack full of boxes is far more forgiving than mediocre interface devices!

7. Projectors and screens are available now that will adjust to the full width of a 2.35:1 motion picture and the films can be displayed at 24 fps, just like at the theater. This is a substantial improvement over standard 16:9 fixed with 30 fps limitation. Several companies are making projectors like this now. I like Runco, Vidicron and JVC with anamorphic lenses.

8. Speakers can be hidden behind a faux front wall, even if you don't build an inner room. Side and rear speakers can be hidden in architectural detail walls. Picking speakers is far more complex than I can write about here.

9. Controlling a theater can be a nightmare or a breeze. It all depends on the control system and the programmer. Today, I would choose between Crestron, AMX or LifeWare. There are less costly, lower performance options such as RTI, Pronto, Nevo which work pretty well.

10. Separate processors and amplifiers are great but I've had good luck with high end receivers from Yamaha, Marantz and PioneerElite also, and they cost less money. Depending on the rest of your theater, you might even be able to use Marantz's lower end line, Denon.

11. Cables don't have to be the very best, but don't buy the bargain basement stuff either. I use Ethereal for lower cost installations and Tributaries in nicer rooms.

12. Regardless of the theater you design, hire a professional for room accoustics, sound calibration and display calibration to SMPTE standards. An ISF certified tech is adequate for display, HAA certifed tech is okay and afforable for accoustics and a THX level 2 tech will be qualified to calibrate the audio. NOTE: Room accoustics costs the most, and is the most valuable!

Hope this is some help. Good luck and have fun with your project!

Have you tried to contact the buyer to find out why he hasn't collected it. I think you will lose the shipping cost since UPS have tried to deliver it.
