Mikkeli's dedicated HT

[mikkeli]

Here's my build blog for my first HT. My theater is completely separated from living area, it has only one door which leads to outdoors. There is stairs to upstairs in right/back corner of the HT. Upstairs is going to be home office with media storage.

Originally this area had only one floor and it was garage. Previous owner of the house was goldsmith who worked at home. During this time garage got upper floor and was transformed to 2-floor working area for goldsmith. Now it's going to be completely rebuild to dedicated home theater.

Here are some pictures of this project so far:
