Approximate room dimensions. The opening near the door is for the equipment rack.

Shows staggered stud construction of left wall of room.

Taken from screen wall in back of room before back wall was framed. Update: I flipped the orientation of the room, this is now the location of the screen wall.

This is from back wall of the theater (about 21 feet) facing the screen location. Update: this is now the seating area, I flipped the orientation of the room.

Outside room - I have complete access to the left and back walls in the theater. The rest are against the foundation.

from the lobby area - hallway entrance to theater

This was the original location of the theater door. here is is closed up and I am building a closet in the nook.

Shot of a closet in the lobby area to hide septic and electrical service areas. I was going to make this smaller but decided having the extra space was worth it.

Recessed lighting in the lobby area. Just standard HALO type lights.

More ceiling shots.

Show of some HVAC ducts that I replaced. They were originally cheap steel type ducts.

Here is a shot of the hallway entrance that will lead to the theater. I will probably take advantage of the vents for the HVAC in the lobby area.

Space under stairs just inside hallway entrance. This will be used as a closet.

View of door from outside of theater. This is the basic new location, although I end up moving it over again after I decide to switch room orientations!

I used 2X4 to keep cans from rattling.

Looks crazy, but added extra 2X4 to make it easy to hang cornice later.

Put a little insulation in to prevent echo.
