As is stands now, when you come down the stairs, to the left will be a card game table and the bathroom (first photo). To the right of the stairs will be the bar area (second photo). Behind the bar might go a pool table or ping pong table, not quite sure yet (third photo).

The fourth photo is looking back to where the bar will be. The fifth photo is looking back to where the home theater will be. There will probably be a dart area, pinball, and possibly a Golden Tee machine. There will be a wall about where the HVAC is over to the pole on the left, this is where the screen will be placed. The sixth photo will box in the HVAC and have a small storage area, might be where a game machine will sit.

The seventh photo is the home theater area. The recessed area towards the back will house the equipment and projector that will slide out to allow access to the back of the equipment. The eighth photo is looking to where the screen will be. A wall will be from the post on the right to the left. The ninth and tenth photos shows the framing going up.

Photos 11 through 16 show the drywall  and bar area going up.

Photo 17 shows the bar area and where the fridge will slide back to be even with the bathroom wall. Photo 18 shows the area where the projector and equipment will be housed. There will be a door there that swings open to access the cables from the rear of the components.

Photo 19 shows where the screen will be located. Still haven't decided if we will be using Screen Goo, or go with a fixed screen. Photo 20 shows a door that leads to the small storage area and where the furnace and water heater are located, it also shows where the dart board is located. Just to the right up the step is the bathroom with a shower. Photo 21 shows part of the bar area and the home brew fridge.

Photo 22 shows the bar area, we're still deciding on the type of shelves behind the bar, then the TV will be hung. Photo 23 shows the bar and pub table. Photo 24 is looking back at the bar.

Photo 25 shows a gaming table and the other TV. Photo 26 shows the gaming table, pinball machine and entrance into the theater room, you can also see a couple of in-wall speakers.

Photos 27 through 29 show the theater room with the seating and recessed equipment area.

Photos 30 through 39 show some stills from Moulin Rouge and Finding Nemo. The live picture is much better in person. Right now we are using a JVC DLA-HD2K projector on a 133 inch diagonal Da-Lite Screen. That equates to a 65 inch by 116 inch screen, or almost 5.5 feet by 10 feet.

Photos 40 through 42 show the front of the theater.

Photos 43 and 44 are some more pictures of the bar area with the in-wall speakers and the LCD television. Photo 45 is another picture of the theater room screen.
