I'll probably try a window plug. I can screw it in as I won't be using the window. For those interested, I got quotes on the acoustic shutters. For the 34.5x82 and 34.5x54.5 inch windows the price was $925 and $615 respectively. At...

Oh ok, I see what you mean. Do you think drywall cut closely to the window frames size and mounted inside the window frame would help (the window is recessed)? That would allow the drywall to be more easily removed, while still adding...

I'd like to keep the windows there if possible, if I ever wanted to bring the windows back (say, selling the house, re-purposing the room...etc), I don't want to have to tear down drywall and have them re-drywall around the window. That...

You see the dropdown to the left in the 3rd photo? That is the side where metal beam is, it goes through the entire dropdown across the room. I'll see if I can post a photo of the beam itself tonight. From the looks of it, it certainly...

Ok, here are some pictures. These are of the room with my makeshift equipment setup before I stripped off the paneling and drywall. Image of the area where the screen will be: Other side of the room: Fire place, i'd rather remove...

Hello! Been a while since my last post. In that time I've bought my first house and have moved in! Of course, me being the avs'er I am, one of my primary requirements was a spare room to do a home theater. The room is a 25x13 foot room,...
