After working with an architect for a year, we finally broke ground last week. The plan is to put in a new bathroom with a steam shower and an oversized whirlpool tub, and a home theater space with a drop down screen and projector.
The theater space won't be dedicated, it will sort of be a triple use room. It will be a nice living room, with shelving for books and cabinets on one wall, a 200 bottle wine cooler and a wood floor. Press a button and the lights will dim, the projector will come on, and the screen will drop down. The final use is as a bedroom when we have guests, so we're going to have a murphy bed built into one wall that can come down when we have guests.
To accomplish this we're digging down the floor and underpinning the foundation to get adequate ceiling height. I have almost all of the home theater equipment purchased already since we really thought construction would have started a looong time ago.
Love to hear your thoughts and comments.
I'm planning on keeping a log of the construction, which you can view at:
