With the drywall up and primed, we’re at a stand still for now. Once the framers have returned to build out the stage and riser, the rest is up to me. The theater (and house) are getting really close to the finish line.

Wiring
While the rest of the house was being buttoned up and prepared for drywall by the contractors, I went in and pre-wired all the low voltage cables for speakers, networking and the projector. I also installed conduit between the projector location and equipment closet for any future cable needs and test mounted the pipe for the projector.

Framing
In July and August, the framing was completed. You can really see the separation between what will become the lobby, the equipment closet and the rest of the basement. Next up, wiring and drywall.

And so it begins…
The foundation work has begun. Not much more than cement and block at this point, but you can start to see the theater take shape.

1995 – The beginning…
My first foray into Home Theater was back in 1995 with the purchase of my first A/V receiver and speakers (BOSE). Back then, a VCR was my source component for movies, but things looked great on my 27″ TV.
In 1998, I purchased my first DVD player, and my dreams of a personal home theater began. Soon, I discovered AVS Forum and learned about Surround Sound, LaserDiscs, and Widescreen TVs. HDTV, HTPCs, and Projectors were next on my wish list.
In 2003, my fiancé and I decided to build the home of our dreams. With a blank canvas, I was set out to design the perfect home theater. After months of research on AVS, I decided to mimic a popular design used by several others on the site. The culmination can be found above.
