The ch.14 "Fire Power" Theater - Page 2

I've got a 2nd sub, it is a Def Tech Supercube Reference. I don't think it'll keep up with the Seaton but will help

Off topic, but i'll be finishing this up this weekend and now 90% focus goes to the basement. I did the under cabinet lights a few months back and the under cabinet trim at the same time

Thanks Willscam, it was a lot of work but looks great now. We had to cut almost every single piece of tile to ge the look we were going for.

I should have an update for the basement soon. Unfortunately not the theater room but the framing is 99% done and now that the HVAC (finally installed) is nearly complete I can build the soffits and move along!

Progress has been pretty good. I took some pics but forgot to load them to my photobucket account.

Since my last photos:
**I finished framing the rest of the basement, bathroom, and storage room
**Built shelves in the storage room to store several items
**90% through plumbing for the wet bar outside the theater. Just need to order the Zoeller Ejector pump...but at the same time it might be a year before I hook up the bar so I hate ordering the pump
**HVAC is nearly done. The guys have to come back and install another duct, zone controller, additional zone damper, and thermostat
**Placed all my electrical boxes throughout the basement

Tonight i'll probably run some cables to the work boxes.

More exciting news is I returned about $300 worth of additional materials I had. I have a habit of buying every elbow, angle, size so I don't run out of material. Thumbs up to Home Depot and Lowes for now tracking purchases with credit cards and not needing receipts. I handed the lady like 10 receipts all a mile long and she said it would be better if I just gave my credit card

With that money I ended up buying a Bosch Circular Saw and Oscillating tool

With the upcoming 3 day weekend, I am hoping to have electrical and plumbing ready for rough in inspection.

Also been spending a lot of time reading up on Middle Atlantic Rack. I've been following Craigslist and these seem to go pretty cheap in the used market so I'll either wait for a deal or give Mike at AVS a call when the time comes. I'm eyeing the ERK series, just don't know what size I want.

If I order through Mike, I expect it to come within 45min. I think I am going to go with an ERK4020 or 4025 also...don't want to go too small and hate myself when I run out of space and don't want to go too big and have the wife hate me for this giant piece of furniture behind the bar stools

Middle Atlantic is about 30 min from my house

Right here





Coming into the basement, the wall takes a 45* turn where the 2nd Zone Return is and then another 45* turn where the rack will be followed by a door for the utility room/rack room

Some updates

Oh yeah I added a Central Vac line which can be seen in the 2nd photo above

Storage room and bathroom framed out


Water and Vent line for bar sink. Also the framing for the rear bar area


2nd zone main trunk for HVAC


1 of 2 zone dampers


1 of 3 HVAC ducts for theater


2nd and 3rd HVAC ducts for theater

Never really thought of sagging, I am using the 3/4" OSB more for mass than anything.

I'm pretty sure hanging 3/4" OSB and then 5/8" sheetrock is going to suck. I'll probably hire out the sheetrock work since it'll take me forever

Carpet for sure if getting hired out and I am highly considering the sheetrock.

I'm curious to it's cost; I have read $0.40 per sq. ft but I have no clue if that is accurate. If it is, that would set me back at about $2,000 for the basement and will make me think long and hard.

$2,000 is another Seaton Submersive ya know

Not sure, just what I caught online but didn't state if that includes the actual sheet rock or just labor. I have 2 guys coming tomorrow to give me a quote so we'll see

I tend to price things in electronics, I start thinking of all the cool things I can then buy :-)

Any plumbing experts out there? Here is the plumbing for my bar and future bathroom area. Any advice is more than welcomed

This first picture represents the vent line to the bar sink. The 3rd bay where the vent pipe T's (second picture) has the PVC to the right and connected to the vent line that goes straight to the attic and connected to the main stack out to the roof. The PVC that goes left head about 15' - 20' to the future bathroom

#2


The 15' - 20' run (1/4" slope per ft) turns down here (original picture from original post) however I plan to put a sink to the left and toilet to the right so here is what I did in picture #3 and #4. As you can see I have about a foot of PVC capped off which will go to the future sink.

#4


The PVC the goes to the right from pictures #3 and #4 are making their way (pic #5) to the ejector pit.

#5


PVC makes a right turn and you can see I have a Y hanging on the ceiling for future connection to the toilet in pictures #6 and #7

And finally another right turn and down turn for a straight shot to the ejector pit in pictures #8 and #9

So does all this look good and not a code violation? I plan to cement everything and call the inspector in the next few weeks.

So I got my first quote back for sheetrock...

$4,250

Yeah just a tad bit more than I was expecting and I have to buy all the screws, tape, mud, etc...This was strictly labor only

Yeah I had one guy here today and I will call several more!


Sq ft of the basement is about 800 sq ft and the scary thing you can knock about 75-100 for the bathroom and storage room. I purchased 109 sheets considering I would want some extra for the bathroom + waste + possibly another layer on the theater ceiling


Maybe I should fly your guys up to NJ...might cost me less. I already spent about $1,000 on drywall


Yeah I nearly fell out of my seat reading the e-mail. I wrote back what would be the cost if I supplied the screws, tape, mud, etc and they wrote back "That is the labor only price"

Hi Tim,

Yes it is all 2" PVC throughout. I did make one change since I posted this in the bathroom location. It isn't what your brought up but figured I would post anyway. This is the stub out for the sink which will be to the left


I'm getting confused when you say "Better to service the future bathroom group with a separate 3" waste and tie in below the bar sink."

I don't have the bathroom planned out yet (2-3 years from now) but I was guessing the waste from the toilet would be 3" pipe underground directly routed to the ejector pit with the shower being tied in before it goes into the put. The sink would be tied into the bar's waste line that comes running through the bathroom and eventually tie in underground to the shower. The vent from the sink would connect to where I have the stub out in the picture above.

For the toilet vent I was imagining something like this: a 3" waste tied directly to the ejector pit, with a 3" Y with that has a connection coming out of the concrete with another Y with a cleanout then reduced to a 2" running vertically to the 2" vent pipe I have have hanging by the zip tie in this picture


Something like this except the cleanout would be above the concrete and there wouldn't be a sink waste line connected to it. (I think this makes it a dry vent then?)
