ChadTower:

Frankly I'm surprised no one here has called the cops on us yet.  Or that we haven't had a random drunk wander over to our yard and start a problem.  Last year we had animal control visit us and a drunk driver roll into our yard.

Our screen is very secluded. Blackout cloth makes for a great screen, but the main reason I wanted it was so that the image didn't got through and light up the trees and possibly the road beyond. You might catch a brief glance of the screen between the house and shed if driving by, but barely if at all.

ChadTower:

Ours is too.  It's right up against the house.  Directly across the yard are trees and a 10' wooden fence with no gaps.  Facing the screen, to the left, are 13' thick bushes, then a main street.  To the right are lower but still thick bushes and my neighbor's yard.  On the other side of that fence, though, is a pizza place, and across from that pizza place is a bar.  So even though you might not SEE the screen people can hear the movie if everything else dies down for a while.

ChadTower:

I said animal control, not police.  She said she was looking for a black Rottweiler that was roaming around.

Actually would have been better if it were the police.

Here in Cincy on Labor Day weekend, we mark the end of summer with a little party called Riverfest. At the end of the day a local radio station and some corporate comglomorate sponsors a fireworks show. It is locally televised and has been on just about every station in town. They all try to out do each other with camera angles and aerial shots and the likes. This year it was actually in HD. So I put up the 'ole outdoor screen, antenna, HD converter box, VCR for the tuner and projector.

The pics are from my cell phone, so they arnt the best quality.



I made th speakers removable from the side of the screen.



Here comes the fireworks:





Not too bad! Then it was 'A Bug's Life' for the kiddo's
