Just Another Guy Just Another Home Theater......Version 2.0 - Page 2

That is the answer I was looking for!!

In keeping with some progress here are some more framing pics from the room. These should help everyone a little more with the room layout.

Front right corner of the screen wall and what will be the entrance to the media closet


Another of the same wall a little farther back toward the rear wall. The opening I left as this is the planned space for my MA rack.


The same wall even farther back showing the angled section of the wall leading to the entrance.


And a dry fit of the MA rack in its space (this MA rack is for sale if anyone is interested as I decided to go with a smaller unit)

Another angle

I suppose I will do that since at least you and RT are paying attention.

Thanks for chiming in Brad. The comments (from someone else) regarding riser height vs the need for a step was not a part of "my" original question. My question was regarding distance from the wall to the riser and how narrow I could make it. In making the riser wide enough for my theater seats I am only going to be able to leave myself 24" maximum distance from the riser edge to the wall and I was asking if that would be enough or if I was going to have to figure something else out. Any opinions on that?

Rack deeper?

Are you referring to our conversation about the walkway between the edge of my riser and the wall that will be 24" max as my room isnt as wide as I need it to be? You lost me my man

Nothing fancy schmancy here just the register in the ceiling and a cold air return back near the entrance that will be added with the new heating/cooling system. With that combo, all the insulation I plan for the walls and ceiling and dricore on the floors it should remain quite toasty in here.

Actually the basement has 3 supplies and soon to be 3 returns. Other than 2 returns I recently added the others were built with the house.

That is where dricore comes in......

Lol no worries we are now on the same page.

Thanks I appreciate the support


I dont even know what to say here......

A few more shots to prove that there was progress being made.

Another shot of the rack location wall and the closet entrance

Closeup of the rack framed out

Closet entrance

Pesky hvac in the way but its only a closet

This is just inside the closet door to the right which is the side of the rack. I am planning a built in dvd/bluray storage shelf here. And in the background the brand new heating/cooling system snuck into the picture, man life throws expensive curve balls sometimes.


More to come as next up I plan to frame the pj soffit and work on some electrical.

Well for those that have been paying a little bit of attention I got a little bit more accomplished in the way of finishing up the initial framing and wiring lights, outlets and switches.

Future home of the projector looking toward the rear wall.

Another view


I had one small problem in my ceiling that is keeping me from complete 91" finished ceiling height and it is this.....other than this darn pipe I had nothing in the way or anything of any importance in the ceiling above the theater.
Problem

Solution


As for lighting/electrical there wasnt much to take pics of but I did what I could.
Looking into the room from the entrance. Temporary wall switches which will be replaced with Lutron Maestro's

I installed 6-6" IC rated cans in the room, 1-6" IC can above the door and 3-3" IC rated cans about 6" back from the screen wall to project on the screen.

A few more "lighting" pics.



Screen wall

A couple more of the PJ shelf

Yea there is a shower above. I could remove the shower however the summer months might get kind of sketchy around here....
