The Movie Room Fall/Winter 04/05 - So I know I have been slacking with the photos of the finished house so am posting pics of my little project in the basement. I also figured you all saw quite a bit from the housewarming pictures. Anywho..I plan on spending the fall, winter, and spring finishing off the two rooms in the basement. To develop my Vila skillz I decided to start with the smaller room...the movie room. As of December I am about halfway done...hope to have it completed by January sometime so I can start onto the bigger room. Well take a look at the pics...I will post more as progress continues.
There are 76 pictures in the The Movie Room Photo Album home to bweather

We finally get to use the furniture

Looks much better in real person

Ice Age on the ~92" screen

Can't wait to sit there

The component shelves...some trim work to be done

Lining up the projector

The frame of the screen is now mounted

Support rails to hold screen on wall

Edges cut to hold screen to wall - Jed's idea not mine

Easy to lift

Getting on idea of where to mount the screen

Jed getting the screen ready

Furniture finally arrives

I supervise while Jed works

Sweet..more to come

It looks so much better

So we try the paint again

As far as they got before we noticed the carpet was messed up

Mopped some

Time for some paint

That's as good as its gonna get

Just don't look too close

Door is still there

That wall turned out okay

Sanding is the worst job ever

And I'm spent

Measure twice, cut once

One. last. piece.

Nice drill

I wish I was taller

Well..first piece didn't fall down

Jed's back to help hang some drywall

Room as far

Just about done the board

Easy one man job

3/4 inch foam board added for sound insulation

Insulation done

Yuengling + PS2 = DTWPGAT2K4 (Drinking Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004)

Extra wiring for 7.1 surround speakers and transducers for couch

R-13 insulation was run...mainly for sound insulation

Some speaker wire run

We've got power too!

Looks like they shut too

Looks like they open

I'd still be standing there if it wasn't for Jed's help

Jed "Better Then Vila" Rankin helping with the doors

The room a little further along

In a new place, don't buy furniture first...by a big screen. For you geeks...its an Epson Powerlite Home 10+

Roomie all set to watch another Sox win

The projector arrives early...just in time for game 3 of the World Series..sweet!!!

Adding some outlets

Thats as even as straight as its gonna get

Good thing there is a shelf there

One of 6 recessed lights in the room

Even a home for the Steeler chair

Wiring the room

Utility room next to room...all wires will run into there

So instead up building first...i tear down

And a door?

And the couch town there

Gonna need sheetrock..and more lights

Maybe we'll put the screen down there

This is what I am starting with.
