Actually - that is probably the better idea and exactly what I will do.


W00lly - thanks dude.

Bud - Funny you mentioned kids, Sara answered the door last night and there was a college girl selling subscriptions to the AJC newspaper and she asked her if her mom was home.



Note: My wife is 28 so don't get the wrong idea.

She was pissed. I don't understand women.

I am trying to put together an ISO for Super Bowl trivia slides I created. If I manage to pull it off, I am happy to share.

43 slides and they look like:


Will update later.

Hey Lizaloo - Yes and Yes (lots of ohhhing and aaahhhing ). I did manage to get the bar finished, stained and poly'd the base and crown moulding, and installed the base moulding.

Bud - Bar stools are scheduled to be in this week by Thursday.

I should have the crown in by the end of tonight.

That leaves me in a waiting pattern for the Berklines. After this week, my theater will be done from a construction standpoint. WOW. Typing that feels weird.

I am going to start the game room this weekend.

Steve,

How do you like the stools? I am going on blind faith and hope they are as nice in person as in the picture.

Liza - I divided the side walls into 3 parts (before adding the fake wall at the front) to determine the sides and back wall. I then put a column at the center of each of the 3 parts excluding the corners. I have 6 total columns and the sconces are at 6 feet high on center. The ceiling is 8 foot 2 inches. When you stand on the riser, the ceiling is a little over 6.5 feet. The riser is 18 inches tall.

The columns were framed out and insulated. I then drywalled them and added a wooden front and black fabric wrapped sides. The wood on the front of the columns hangs over each side 1". This makes the black fabric wrapped furring strips level with the front when installed.

Thanks for the update scaesare. Your theater looks great. I just finished looking at the pictures. I am planning to use the stools for secondary seating too for football guest. They will be the place to sit and snack during the game. Good to hear that you could make it through a movie without loosing feeling in the legs or rear. I am excited to see how they look in the room and will not feel bad if I need to put some peeps in them during a movie too.

Thanks!

Thanks Troy and welcome to the forum.

Thanks kindakouki!

Hey Dave,

Yes - I have black expo cloth and yes it does have a hint of texture to it that I actually really like. As a matter of fact, it is the sole reason that I chose it over GoM.

You can only see it when you get within a couple of feet but I really like it.

Thanks dude.

Yep - and after tomorrow, it will all be installed and done.

I will have new pictures this week of the finished theater minus the Berklines.

Man it is looking really different down there now that all the moulding is in and the bar is finished.

More soon.

Liza - I only have 1 step but now you have me thinking it might be more like 15". I will measure it tonight and update you. Honestly, it was so long ago I am going off of memory...and that can be dangerous.

My columns are all 4 inches deep. What kind of switches? I didn't put any switches in my columns to keep them looking uniform.

Good idea to attach them after the room is done. If I were doing my room over again I would do it that way as well.

Mark - I got mine at a great price on amazon. Let me know if you want the link.
