Blu-Benny's Basement/HT!
Where the HT will go. i plan on framing a wall about 2 feet from the foundation and have an access panel to the crapper pipe that i can cover up w/a poster frame. i also want to build in an audio rack that will be shelves set into the wall off to the left side. http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/417/img1841z.jpg |
Where the bar will go. the couches, tv, and gun rack will be removed and not be in the finished basement. i've got plans to build a bar and put on the right hand side here. i also plan on building a liquor cabinet for behind the bar. http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/4654/img1842s.jpg |
A wall will be put up here. my 1st project, a wall will be put up to separate my business from my finished basement. http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/3927/img1845n.jpg |
still in the planning stages of my HT revamp, plan on building my bar this coming fall/winter i think but here's the poker table my father in law built for himself however many years ago.....he has passed it onto me b/c they don't play cards anymore.
i can already count the money i'll be winning on this thing. http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/9625/img9321.jpg and http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/6554/img9322.jpg |
Tv should definitely go on the north wall like you suggested and furniture towards the south wall. Your side surrounds (well the left surround I think it would be I think I'd have like a arm bracket angled downward toward seating area unless you want to put stands/floorstanding speakers for your surrounds. The bar you could have farther outward due to the pipe in the way. I'd make like a wooden panels covering the pipe or incorporate it into a shelfing type thing. My dad had similar problem with pipes in way of his basement...he made a wooden shelf back wall of the bar that covered everything up.

Looks like a drop ceiling is needed to cover up the vents and such...I'd get all your wiring figured out and finished before you get the ceiling...building of other stuff done.

Does Jay and Silent bob lived here? :D

my 1st projects will be the wall by the furnace and i'll be building a platform @ the bottom of the stairs and wall off the opening that is there now so i can fully separate my business side and my ht side.
i'll probably frame everything out 1st then do all of the wiring as far as any electrical outlet additions and then do all of the speaker wire and audio/video cables. |

here's my progress after today, actually only worked on it for about 4 hours and got a lot of dirt out of there.
http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/1861/img9571u.jpg only got a couple more inches of digging to go and the rock and sand base can go in. i'm stopping @ menard's 2morrow to get some pvc piping and wire and i'm gonna run some underground wiring for 3 pillar's that will have lights on them. EDIT: looking @ this pic, notice what color the siding on my house used to be!!! :rofl: that's why were also having the house resided this year!!! |
NOT envious of the amount of work you're gonna have to do :panic:
It'll feel good when it's done though! |
