I'm probably 1-1/2 to 2 years away from actual construction on my HT. I've done some "conceptual" drawings to get an idea of what I might like, but is it too early to start formal planning? I'm going to be contacting Dennis since there's no way I'm spending this much money and not getting it done right, but I'm not sure if I'm jumping the gun. Should I have a budget first? I'm hoping that after hiring and speaking with Dennis that I can then develop a budget and plan accordingly. Is this an appropriate course of action?
While I realize that things like projector and surround technology may change over the next couple of years, am I safe to assume that basic good HT design will still be applicable? My plan is to build as much flexibility and "upgradeability" into the HT, so that as situations change (upgrades, new technology, etc.) I can adapt as well. This will be an entirely new addition with virtually no restrictions on design.
Am I crazy to be planning this far in advance? Thoughts from those that have gone through the process are greatly appreciated.
