Hi Stuart,

=20

Might've been Gareth Cook?

I'm struggling to find a link to his website though...

=20

I'll post again if/when I find it.

Many many years ago, somewhere on one of the ukha properties (might have
be=
en a blog post, list email or even an early forum post) I saw someone had
b=

redec=
orating their lounge.

It was made using stud work & plasterboard and all the AV equipment was
con=
tained inside it.

Was that your lounge? I'm after doing something similar and would like to
s=
ee how it was done, was there anything different about the stud work that
j=
ust a normal stud wall.

Has anyone seen anything similar elsewhere? All the examples I see
nowadays=
are for floating walls, which look nice but they're not what I want.
