My father in law is coming over to help install the vent in the ceiling and the return. He's also going to bring his saw to cut up the screen shipping crate/case.

I still need to find a place that has poster frames. I need to hang some things up I'll also install some other things small things as well.

Man that looks nice.

I've never had the chance to hear your speakers (or any of that brand) Glad things are coming along for you... and I totally understand being busy and just enjoying the space once it's functional!

Ever thought about Towing In your L/R speakers a bit? (angled more towards the "sweet spot", if you will). Mine are towed in just a bit so a triangle is formed where their fronts are aiming at Me more or less. Just curious, is all.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!....BEAUTIFUL JOB

Sorry guys, it's been a super busy with family related stuff. I'm still alive don't worry.

I even managed to complete a few tasks around the basement

All of the vents have been installed! No more having to look at ugly open spaces in walls or ceilings!

I still need to get out and buy some poster frames. I also need to patch up the space heading down the stairs since everything made it in the space in one piece.

Once that's done I can then paint and install the rails.

I'd take pictures, but my DSLR broke and I haven't bought a replacement. I need to borrow a point and shoot soon!

Thanks! It's a nice feeling being able to finally kick my feet up and watch movies and games...

I haven't messed with it that much. Honestly I'm impressed with how they sound now. While I was watching content, it's a nice solid wall of clear sound... The sound just wraps around you like a warm expensive blanket.
I'll be sure to mess with them once I finalize a few things.

how much money do you think you have put all into this?

[kopkiwi]

I was enjoying reading through this thread...until I saw those god awful table cloth shirts (United tops)

Banking on thrashing you boys tonight at Old Toilet.

PS. Love the basement build ;-)

How are you liking your screen? I just ordered the same screen only 92 Inches.

Just materials and install costs? I'd have to check my excel spread sheet but off the top of my head, I'd say it was about $8000.

Cheers!

So far it's been great! The screen material is great! There's no hot spotting, while making the image POP!

The light spillage is less then my last screen, and I notice better black levels with ambient light.

The tab tensions works well. Once you set it, you're good to go! I'll give you a bit of a pro tip. Once it arrives and you install it, lower the screen and let it settle before you adjust the tension to get rid of the waves.

I was on the fence until I had my second demo at their facility.

Overall I'm happy with the purchase...

Let me know if you have any additional questions!

I found a older point and shoot, so I can take some pictures for you guys later...

[sonic_debauchery]

Thanks for the tip.

[EMAGDNIM]

Not a problem

So I snapped pics of the vents (boring I know) and realized that I hate this stupid camera.





Yay for not seeing holes in the space!

I'm going to be finishing up with the washroom soon. As soon as I tidy up, I will snap a few pictures...

Oh and it's a GREAT day for Man United fans

[EMAGDNIM]

So I know I have been slacking for a bit, but it's with good reason...



Yeppers, we are expecting our first child!

My wife bought those as a surprise Christmas gift...

I've been doing a lot of other things around the house to prepare for the little one, so I haven't had time to work on the basement.

I do plan to find some frames locally so that I can hang some posters.

I also need to buy a new DSLR as this point and shoot is not cutting it

[Aerodude73]

Lol - nice outfits but hey dude, Congratulations on the New Addition to the family!!!

I meant to comment on this the other day... sorry for the delay. HUGE CONGRATS on the addition to the family. Life changer Mine are 8 and 6 this year, quite literally the best thing that ever happened to me in my life.

This is just awesome news. Congratulations in order to you and your wife. When is the baby due? I can tell you your baby is going to enjoy the new basement for sure! and of course the new DSLR will pay for it self with the beautiful pictures of your lovely baby

[raven_32]

I just did a quick run thru of all the pics you've posted from start to finish and wow man it looks great hard work has def paid off, & congrats on the baby

[Omegaice]

E, I just want to say congrats on the baby! Your life will change forever! Also, I would like to say "Well Done" on your HT build! You build is an inspiration to all.

[EMAGDNIM]

Well guys, I haven't been posting much because....

....


..........



.................Our house is up for sale


Yeppers, all the blood sweat and tears I put into the basement will now be enjoyed by someone else.

My wife and I decided that we could use the added space. So we went out and bought a larger fully detached house, for all of us to enjoy.

It's sad but I'll be back. The basement is HUGE and there's enough space for a dedicated 27X14 HT room ALONG with another 27X14 for added finished basement space. There's also another 12X13 space that I plan to create a play room for our child to play and have fun in.

Well that kind of sucks after ALL the hard work & Time it took, BUT, as you noted, the new place has a huge basement & you can prob make a Bigger HT room (?) than what you have now

Good luck!

WOW!

Well, hopefully your realtor told you the work you did increased the value of your place, I can't image you'll have much trouble selling the place, the market still appears to be a sellers one.
