That looks sweet!
I got the rolling popcorn maker for Christmas from my parents (that and a 50lb bag of popcorn, gallon of Oil and carton of popcorn salt). I could use the soda machine now! I will have to check that out when i am ready.


here are some pictures of the last basement I finished all by myself. Currently framing up the next room at the new house. Theater room will be 16x14 and no windows this time, that glass block was killing me... putting a step up in this one and actually pre-wiring for the bass shakers. With x10 technology I should be able to automate everything. The only thing that is controlled by the receiver will be the lights. I could prolly run a motorized cutains system but I would rahter it dim the lights again.

Looks good Dean. It's not a "bman set-up" but it definitely looks functional.

115" Across Diagonal

I'm renting a house because I'm on a Short One Year Posting (Military)

The Screen is two 4X8 sheets of drywall stacked for a 8X8 mounted to some 2"x"2 that run on the actual wall. I needed to cover over the window that is actually behind the "Screen". The seam was done just like a wall and then the entire screen was painted flat white. It does the trick but the new house is getting a much better arrangement. There is a paint called "Silver Screen" that was going to go on the prepared wall that is supposed to be made for the application. It preserves the lumens of the image when shot on a wall.

I installed lights in the rafters that are on a remote control and then (Ghetto Style) used a staple gun to hold a couple yards of black fabric to the celing and walls.

El Cheapo Theater is only meant to last the year but my wife and I love it even if it isn't finished the way it should.

The PS2 is Hilarious on a 9 Foot screen.
