You can't see it yet but there's a home theater under all that dirt!

Outside the lobby and HT

Concrete poured

Framing in progress

View of framing from lobby

Riser integrated into the house

dry wall going up in Lobby, what a mess.

HT going through the same process.

Future home of my two favorite beverages - coffee and BEER!

Curtains along entire back will add color and help sound absorption like the old setup.

We plan on moving more wall items into the lobby area since it's so much larger than the rental which will provide more focus to the main event.

Now with carpet

Lobby Carpet

HT entrance

Closeup of peephole. No, it's not some weird "Panic Room" thing going on.

Just another prop the wife found online. See almost any episode of Friends and you'll understand.

Friends peep hole.

Headed down to basement

My two favorite beverages - Beer and Coffee!

The selection

My favorite stein for my favorite drink!

Another prop from Friends. This was always seen behind the girls' T.V.

Had them re-framed. Really like the way they turned out.

Our little slice of heaven

Right side

And left

Money Shot from the Sweet Seat

With lights on

They have a plan

Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back.

Center Left

CL Naked

Front Left

New Head rests. Made from the old curtains.

Great Room set up.

Another view of lobby.

The better to drink with.

Better with soda than beer.

Speaking of which....Stocked again but the wife made me move my overflow.

But who's complaining.

Not this guy!

Yet another prop, this one spanning many movies and T.V. shows. Check it out at kit-cat.com/kit-cat-in-hollywood.

"He does not fear danger. He only fears only the failure to defend his freedom."

Our "special copy" from the Head Vampire himself.

Newest additions to our "Walk of Fame".

Data was a Father's Day gift from my son. He stood in line for a couple of hours to get the autograph. Pretty cool, huh?

"They look like white Rubik's cubes or something."

Goodbye uncomfortable table -

Hello comfy booth!

Fra-gee-lay. That must be Italian.

It's a major award. I won it!

We had to buy a set of canvas art to hide the MAJOR holes in the stairwell a contractor managed to create. The repair job will always show. To say we were devastated would be an understatement.

The collection as it now stands.

Just opened!

Wait a minute. You just flash that thing, it erases her memory, and you just make up a new one?

New booths; view from stairs.

View from wet bar. Really love the way it has turned out thus far. Got lots of ideas from the site. Wanted to make the experience more than just watching a movie. A place to chill, eat, and socialize was always a goal that the booths have helped cement.

Arrived today.

These have been arriving all week. Oh, the wonderous plans we have for them!

After much weeping and gnashing of teeth my lovely and highly intelligent wife came up with this idea for some of the masks - I just had to do all the work.

Just installed under cabinet lighting on the wet bar.

Lights all around

Goofing around

New additions

House from the outside.

Figured I'd put some photos of the rest of the inside as well. Great room.

Library

Master bedroom

Guest bedroom, greeted by Tut himself.

Formal dining room - more like museum....

The answers you seek shall be yours, once I claim what is mine.

Bought another mask. This one made in ......?

I tried lots of different ideas to display DV. Credit for the solution goes to the brains of this outfit; my lovely wife.

Have extra speaker stands stored and now one gets used. Now we shop for more helmets.....

Oh, BOY! Been planning a long time for these!

Out of the box

Tucking away inside one of the consoles. The wife wasn't too happy about cutting away the dust cover, though.

Finishing touches on the wires.

Added insulation to minimize noise.

View from the front; drawer removed. Alas, despite all my hard work and best laid plans this layout didn't work as I'd hoped. The mini LFE's didn't have enough to shake without making LOTS of noise. Neither my love nor I were happy. Everything was undone and I contacted the folks at Guitammer (thats guitar and hammer combined, check out their story) and they were more than accomodating in the return and replacement items.

Kit one of two unboxed.

Testing first kit.

Installed amp in console. It JUST fit. Talk about pushing my luck on that one. On a wing and a prayer.....
Marked the dial setting my love prefers in case I adjust it and have to move it back.

Final install in the front row -

And the back row. What a difference! Plenty of power on these. Back row adjusted for a little more kick than the front. I'll be sitting there during the action movies!

Getting ready to play

Final product sans wine

Fill 'er up. All that work to make way for...

the latest edition to our entertainment package; beer sold seperately.

Simply couldn't resist these purchases.

Another wonderful treasure my wife found online. We had these made and have been waiting over a month to put them up. They are one of my favorite Christmas presents. Really nice detail; you'd be hard pressed to find better.

I think these works of art are the perfect touch to our "Walk of Fame". Check out giftoffame.com to get you one of your own. You'll be glad you did.

A little something above our cellar.

Finally arrived! Preordered this back in August. The only preorder I've waited on longer was Bioshock Infinite. Both were well worth the wait.

Placed it on landing coming down the stairs. Once again, a wonderful suggestion from "The Boss" made for perfect prop placement!

We added Sting a few weeks ago but was lazy in getting a photo posted.

Back of the house now that it's done, as requested.

Another view. The deck anchors were placed during construction with the deck installed right after moving in.

Mr. Never-Wins-Anything got two tickets to an advanced screening. Yipee!

Fantastic house, and awesome home theater!! I love the collectibles, as well as the lobby booth area. Great job!

Saleen12  » Apr 11, 2013 04:00 PM

Absolutely incredible job. I can't even tell what part was added on. You sir live in paradise. Thanks for sharing the pics. I better start saving.

Saleen12  » Apr 10, 2013 10:27 PM

Preciate your comment but seriously your setup is my dream setup. Love the lobby with the booths, has to be the best idea ever. If you can shoot me a message when you add the other pictures so I can check them out please. Appreciate it!

Saleen12  » Apr 10, 2013 03:59 PM

Can you show a picture of what the house looks like from the back now that its done? Love the setup!!!!

pacman9270  » Apr 06, 2013 03:30 AM

Yeah... The briefcase is really cool. Thanks for the comment. I haven't watched any of the movies yet. I purchased my projection system this past week. Setting up my theater room. Should have pics in coming month.

pacman9270  » Feb 16, 2013 12:55 AM

You just keep getting better and better. Keep it up!

Silo5  » Jan 29, 2013 11:48 AM

Very nice HT & home! I think you have the perfect environment for a screen/projector. Any plans to upgrade in the future? Overall, easily a 10! Great job.

Wayne L. Baker  » Jan 28, 2013 08:04 PM

Looks like you started from were Eve bite the apple. What a nice time line. Good job.

friendo55  » Nov 07, 2012 10:54 AM

This is unbelievable. I'm going through all these with my jaw hitting the floor. To say I'm jealous is an understatement.

chingon510  » Nov 02, 2012 05:26 PM

Great job man! Love all the decor! 10/10

Simply Love what you have created here...great looking small movie artefacts, that you have collected. Keep Going....!!

J.Seb  » Aug 15, 2012 07:16 PM

Thanks! I like your toys too and the HT looks great! Building a dedicated HT from scratch is a dream of mine, you've done a great job, congrats. If I may, I would recommend you to split this big gallery into a few smaller theme albums? All the best

cr136124  » Aug 13, 2012 06:29 PM

Impressive! Everything looks really nice and it is evident you dedicated a lot of time to grab all those cool items for your HT. Congratulations!

BluRayBan  » Aug 10, 2012 09:31 AM

Very nice HT setup! I love the "toys" and the "movie theater" experience. Very well done!!!

mj3k  » Aug 09, 2012 05:37 AM

cool place and HT..

xtracaf  » Aug 06, 2012 07:25 PM

Beautiful home man. It looks like you and I are of similar tastes in media rooms.

sonic_debauchery  » Jul 28, 2012 03:41 PM

I think you have done a great job with providing an engaging ambience in your theater. The pictures give viewers a feel of what it would be like in your theater. Any plans for a projector???

YodasFootPowder  » Jul 22, 2012 09:38 AM

Your whole setup is ridiculous! And I love the autographed picture collection!

jasonaalbert73  » Jul 20, 2012 11:42 AM

Thanks for the kind words. There is so much about your set-up that I really love. Its obvious we have the same taste in cinema. Love the props, and replicas. Great color scheme, love the booths! Just awesome! And a Sam Adams fan to boot! Nothing like having your own theater to kick back in. Good stuff.

JustinCredible_13  » Jul 19, 2012 05:16 PM

thx for the comment, & yes i didn't see your comment before. love the R2

roar  » Jul 19, 2012 11:55 AM

Wow... what a great collection of memorabilia. I would love the space for a 'lobby' like you have. Not sure why it has taken me so long to find your theatre but it looks great!

ZIPPO  » Jul 13, 2012 11:40 AM

Love the awesome collectables & room decor!

cognizantgeek  » Jul 10, 2012 09:11 PM

You have the coolest home theater ever. Your son must never want to leave! You must also have a wife who's just as into movies as you are. Keep up the great work my man!

thrillerusa  » Jul 09, 2012 06:02 AM

Love the light sabers hanging

JustinCredible_13  » Jul 07, 2012 09:22 PM

PurpleJesus74  » Jul 07, 2012 03:53 PM

Wow really awesome room you have there ! I like that R2D2 and the other Star Wars stuff.

literati819  » Jul 05, 2012 10:22 AM

Beautiful home theater and clever use of space. I enjoyed following your project chronicle from start to its current state (as we all acknowledge in this hobby, our setups are never truly finished but in a constant state of flux). Fantastic!

Tech-UK  » Jul 05, 2012 09:12 AM

Fantastic job . Those diner benches/chairs are awesome!

pacman9270  » Jun 29, 2012 08:27 AM

You're living the dream!

trdtac  » Jun 28, 2012 03:05 PM

Thanks for the nice comments! Theater room looks amazing. That "Fragile" leg is too cool..."You'll shoot your eye out!" LOL.

Excellent work mate. Very impressive!

Absolutely AWESOME! You should be very proud of all the work you put in and how it turned out! Kudos!

ahmedreda  » Jun 14, 2012 06:44 PM

mosuncertain  » Jun 10, 2012 09:59 PM

Beautiful set up! And now I really want a samuel adams holiday varity pack. I hope my local bevmo still has one or two in stock for cheap.

Very nice! Hope you and your family enjoy!

Finmaan  » May 16, 2012 10:35 PM

Love the movie memorabilia and autographs , spectacular seats,can tell you put alot of hard work into building this theater, great job!

pinskee  » May 12, 2012 06:40 PM

Absolutely outstanding setup/HT/collectables and memorabilia. Everything I aspire to have in my future home. Love the bar area and lobby room. Especially love the Triwizard cup (WHERE CAN I GET ONE?!) and I believe a star trek phaser?! This is one of my favorite setups on this site!
