Post subject:  Moving
Moving, as in getting my own place. I moved everything I had in storage Thursday. That includes my B&H 385 and 395, 16mm supplies, and movies. Up to 10 features now, half of them in scope. One has a bad last reel [set5_b/set5_b/nopity.gif] but I'll still count it. [set5_b/set5_b/banghead.gif]
One consideration in getting a place was viability of running 16mm. I ended up making a concession when it came to having a good wall to double as a screen. I've got a 22 ft throw but I will have to invest in a screen. I want a 96x72 manual pull-down. Hopefully, I can construct a couple of poles to use as a mount. I could mount a screen from the ceiling near the back sliding glass door but I'd rather be projecting the other way towards the fireplace.

Personally, I would have the screen at the opposite end to the window, unless you got some pretty heavy curtains there. Otherwise daytime screenings may be a problem. I've got a similar setup to you - 22ft throw and I place my projector by the window end, wall mounted drop down screen at the other end. 22ft is a really nice throw I've found. Not everyone can get this in their home, at least not here in the UK where basement space is not the norm.
