South Riding Cinema and Draft House Construction - Page 2

They were both great deals (at least in my opinion). The fridge I found at home depot for $299. They had just got a shipment of various similar products in and I saw the beverage center. Glass door and shelves. Not stainless, but has a cheap trim that looks similar. I asked the guy how much because everything similar I have seen online was min $500-$600 and up. He said it wasn't a product that they normally stock and I saw it in their weekly add a couple weeks later as a special buy or something.

The kegerator I did a bunch of looking into because I wanted something that could hold a normal size keg or 3 5 gallon kegs+the air tank. I thought about building one from a sanyo dorm fridge, but then read about this one. The only problem I found with it was in some old threads online talking about it not getting cold enough with the factory setting on the thermistate. Turns out that is easily resolved by adjusting a set screw on the back of the unit.

This model comes in 3 flavors, stainless, black and a gray plasic fake stainless look. The cheapest I could find it online was over $600 for the black and then I found a post about random sales on it at best buy. So a little surfing over to that site and $450 later I have a stainless steel kegerator! It was very odd though because they had limited availability on it. Only half the stores in my area had it in stainless and those stores only had 1 or two in stock. The site also listed the black one for $600 and no stock anywhere. Not sure why that one would be more expensive.

I have a drawing that matches B at home also...lol I nixed it for the exact same reasons. I would have loved to put the HT where my pool table area is going, but didnt want to cover that usable casement window (that option didnt pass the WAF). In the early framing pics I posted it matches C but I made the room about 2' longer. I then decided more width was needed and knocked that wall down took 16" from the bar area and decided to put an aisle down the side.

The other big advantage of putting it under the living room is that its carpeted and gets very little foot traffic as opposed to being under the kitchen, family room or foyer.

A picture to say it all... Let me know if you have any questions about it.

It may be a couple weeks until I get back to the theater room, but I thought I would post a pic of the structured wiring panel that feeds into the rack in the HT Room. When the house was built it had a verizon "advanced" wiring package. Way overpriced crappy equipment, but the wires got in the walls. Anyway when I redid the basement I ripped it out and replaced it with what you see here. There was no way all this stuff was going to fit in the old verizon box. The verizon box went on to become the conduit distribution box in the back of the rack.

I posted this pic a long time ago in some other thread so if it looks familiar thats why.

I am kind of learning as I go myself, but feel free. I will send you a PM. Just give me a ring.

jbhungvt you PM box was full. Just give me a ring tonight. If you dont still have my number PM me.

I used the Punch! home architect suite to do them.

Well a week in Vegas, then a week catching up when I got back. In order to satisfy the WAF I have to get the rest of the basement ready for paint before I get back to the theater. So only about 800 l/ft of moulding to caulk and nail holes to fill and I am back to the theater.

Well its been quite some time since my last post, but i finally have gotten back to moving things along. I have finished framing the stage and will be trying to complete the sand and plywood top this weekend.

If anyone has any tips on cutting the plywood for the curved edges I would love to hear them. Especially for the front step that is curved front and back. I think I am just going to make a cardboard template for that one and then use that to cut the plywood to fit.

For the top of the stage I figure just lay it on there, trace the curve, add a 2" lip and cut.

It came out great! For everyone that had been following along I had to put a hold on the theater room to get the rest of the basement done for the WAF. Attached are some of the final pics.
