    ** Hi everyone! I forgot to include the cost of this little change. All in I was under $200 Canadian (approx. $151 USD) that includes nine wood studs for framing, a drywall sheet, a 3/4" plywood sheet and a 1/2" melamine sheet and cheapest molding I can find. I also re-used the molding I removed. I had some paint/primer leftover so I only purchased a roller and two paint brushes from the dollar store. **

      Wally! Where were you? I thought you would be the first to comment last week! Thank you. Yes she definitely will be in future videos. I will never abandon restorations, no worries, but I will continue to also bring new content in between for sure!

    That looks great. Watching movies or hockey on your home theater would be excellent. When I was a kid I had a friend that had a projection system like that. We used to hook up his Nintendo to it. That was pretty wild playing on a huge screen.

    Could you provide a link or provide info on those home theater seats? The raise/lower armrests are a nice feature (that doesn't seem to be common)

    • @RetroRepairGuy
      @RetroRepairGuy  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! In part 1 of this Home Theater episode I explained I got the seats from a Cinema that was closing down. They were normally selling seats to older Cinemas in bulk (by the hundreds). I simply begged the owner to sell me a few and she liked me and sold them to me for only $50 each so I purchased 9 of them. They have similar online I had seen years ago for about $500 USD each. Your best bet is to try to find an old cinema and ask to purchase some. Thanks for watching!

    Désolé d'avoir à vous le dire, mais la traduction automatique du titre et de la description de vos vidéos est vraiment très mauvaise quand elle est effectuée par les algorythmes des outils TH-cam ou Google.
    Si je puis me permettre de donner un conseil, laissez-les donc dans la langue d'origine...

    • @RetroRepairGuy
      @RetroRepairGuy  ปีที่แล้ว

      Bonjour! Merci, tous les commentaires sont bienvenus et je m’excuse pour la traduction. Je suis conscient du fait que les traductions sont loin d’être parfaite avec Google, mais la raison que je traduis le titre et la description des vidéos en plus de trente langues est que c’est la seule façon que TH-cam les propages dans d’autres pays et sur les comptes qui ont leurs paramètres réglés dans une autre langues. Les vidéos sont restés dans leur langue d’origine, si vous voyez le titre en français c’est à cause des paramètres et/ou pays. Je vous remercie d’avoir regardé.

    I Like your video but don't have proper SEO in your video. That's why not growing your views and subscribers

    • @RetroRepairGuy
      @RetroRepairGuy  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi there. Thank you. While normally this kind of comment might be considered SPAM by YT, I wanted to take a minute to answer it. Many discussions, analysis and even TH-cam's own mouth explain that SEO may potentially help a minute percentage when the video is being searched for but does not impact growth in any way, but it used to in the old days. In fact, many tests have been done by TH-cam channels with no keywords at all and the video saw the same growth. Nowadays, TH-cam automatically transcribes the uploaded video and uses the words in the video to suggest your video. The title and thumbnail however is our job to try to attract the viewer who TH-cam suggested it to. And to add to all of this, I still optimize all my videos for SEO anyway because I have years of experience in making Websites and IT in general. In fact about a year ago I consulted two different experts in the field just to get a second opinion and they both said my entire channel and videos were over 90% optimized. The reason for slow growth is based on niche as well as click through rates, amount of videos uploaded, views and yes, some luck. I did start putting a little more effort into thumbnails. Thanks for watching.
