the majority of the moisture was coming from the water/sewer pipe in the wall it somehow came loose from the fitting and had a small leak, they had a cabinet over it and i guess they didn't know about it. Since the house was a repo house the mold sat there in the house for almost 1 1/2 years with no air movement when it was 100+ degrees outside so it got pretty bad. its taken care of now and we are taking steps to make sure it doesn't happen again. 90% of the plumbing has been replaced

I had a buddy come over to help me clean up the tile. we had to fill a trash can 1/4 the way up and carry it through the basement and up the stairs and dump it in the trailer to haul off. it was too heavy to fill the trashcan all the way up. but its all out of the room now. I have to use the shop vac and will then start on the wiring and replacing the dry wall. got a color picked out as well.

Tile all cleaned up. Frameing closet tomorrow

Hey Blaze,

Nice job so far. I can empathize with your mold problem. I had the same thing in a much smaller space, and it was not fun to take care of. (see gallery tell me what you think)

I ended up treating the wall with concrete treatment, it repels 15psi of water and worked very well.

You have a pretty cool set up so far as well. That Mits must be amazing!!!

Last night I was taking down a stud wall in the bathroom behind the theater room, and was using a splitting maul to take the boards down. Got a little to close to the toilet and bumped it with the edge of the ax. Didn't see any damage so I finished up and turned off the lights and went to bed. My wife just called me at work to tell me I cracked the bowl on the toilet and there is standing puddle of water in the theater room. So I cracked the toilet. Atleat the carpet was not down yet and I had turned the water off to the toilet lasnight before I went to bed so tt may have saved me from having a flooded theater room. Have a d humidifier running now tonoull the water up..... its always something lol

Got the floor and studs treated with the moisture sealants and mold sealer, tore down part f the drop ceiling to frame the closet, got about 50% of the closet framed. Going to finish that tonight and drywaller is coming to hang, tape and mud the closet , bath and computer server room/ office tomorrow morning. Then I will work on trim and carpet :-) going to need some suggestions on placement of speaker plates I the walls. I will post pics of it tonight along with the closet.

Hey Sonic..
Thanks for the comments! Yeah the mits is great, love that TV . I have been neglecting her the last month , its been under blankets while I work on the room I hope to have it set back up by next week, i really like what you did with your room, I'm going to try to do the same thing with my speaker plates and get all of my cableing ran and set up in the closet I am framing.

[sonic_debauchery]

That's sounds cool. Send some pics as you go.

Also think of a good way to bring fresh air into the room to ventilate when you have a number of friends over. My cinema holds 12 people after 2 hours the room still smells clean and fresh. I have two forms of bring outside fresh air into the room plus air conditioning. Very dark colours also make for an amazing image with heaps of contrast. Take a look at my cinema, you may get some ideas.

Ok the Closet is frammed, new drywall installed all holes patched, walls sanded and new texture sprayed, so today we are painting the walls in the theater and my office/server room. I will post pics in a little bit.

[Blaze98]

Walls painted, closet and bathroom doors are installed, next up is trim and replacing the rest of the ceiling tiles and frame the carpet its starting to come together!

[sonic_debauchery]

Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished product! I can very much appreciate all the hard work you have done!

[integrafied1]

Lookin' good.

[Blaze98]

while I am waiting for the Trim to come in so i can get it painted and installed, I did manage to pick up a new piece for my theater room not much but thought it was cool. found a V for Vendeta/Anonymous mask for 5 bucks shipped. will look cool hanging in the theater room when its done.

anyways I hope to have more pics to add soon to show that the room is almost done!

Looks good so far. Are you going to make some acoustic panels to hang on the walls?

You know I had thought about it but since I did a dry run on the 7.1 I don't notice any reverb or echo at all so I'm not sure if its needed, but I also have not been in a HT with acustic panels to see what benifits it would have, but I'm open to anything.
