All the drywall has been hung, it's FINALLY starting to look like I had originally imagined :-)
I'm a licensed North Carolina General Contractor who built a home to sell in 2008, and then built my own family home in 2014. I'm also a software engineer, marathon runner, and an occasional terrible golfer. I document my DIY experiences through this blog. ( http://wanderski.com )

Final Before Drywall
Well FINALLY ready to drywall. I spray painted the speaker stands and foam inserts to eliminate vibrations, and put everything back into it's place to make sure it's all working correctly.
It's so dark in those cavities you can't even tell the speakers are in there, or the electronics either for that matter!

Speaker Cavities
Spray painted the built in speaker cavities so that once the felt is put on top, nothing will shine or be viewable.

Raw framing complete
Happy Thanksgiving! This is the slowest project ever, but I have to find time to squeeze in some work in between everything else... like today before family comes over :) I have all the raw framing complete including the built ins for the speakers and the shelving for the units. Next up will be adding MDM to the top "shelf" to add support and then drywall.

Screen Wall
Well, after a looooooong hiatus, I'm finally back at it. I've put the screen wall into place on top of floating subfloor. I still have to build stands in the wall for the speakers, and then drywall the whole thing before putting trimming and speaker screen on the wall. The side "columns" project about 4" more, so it should give a nice effect once the crown moulding is installed.

Sound System Setup
Speakers
installed with receiver. It's ugly but functional. Next up is building a
front wall of cabinets to house the front speakers, a cabinet for the
receiver and equipment, and install 45 degree crown moulding which will
cover the wires.

Theater Chairs and Surround Speakers
I decided to expand the platform to make room for 3 tiers. The back will have a sectional couch. The middle will be theater chairs. And the floor will be bean bags.
And the theater chairs. Decided to buy them before carpet so that I can use the room :)
And I've started to install the speakers. The surround side and back speakers will be in-wall mounted. So had to fish all the speaker wire through the walls.

Projector and Screen
The projector and screen are up. Will still have to make adjustments once the furniture is in, but it's functional now :)

Platform Seating Complete
Had some time over the holidays to finish up the platform seating including the baseboard and bullnosing. This whole area will be carpeted at the end.
