Been a while since I have posted. But, since we are now having our home built, I can share about our plans for a new theater. We have figured a bunch of stuff out, but there is sooo much more that I haven't even considered yet.
A little over a year ago, we sold our house in the hopes of having another one built. I sell homes for a living, in fact, I sell new construction homes most often. The last home we had built, we had a wonderful family room/home theater area that was a lot of fun to watch movies in. But, after visiting with Erik Farstad and seeing his dedicated home theater room down in his basement, I hoped that one day we could do something like that.
Here is what we used to have fo a home theater...
Like I said, this worked out really well, but after going over to Erik's and watching a projector, I was JEALOUS!!
The big problem is where we live, Washington State, they do not build homes with basements very often. The water table is to high. You have to be on a hillside to get a basement or it ends up wet all the time. Unless you build a custom home or a very expensive home, a basement is just not an option.
The builder that I am selling homes for had two different neighborhoods that could take a daylight basement. I chose the development that was closest to work. There was only one lot in this neighborhood that could take a basement, so I jumped on it - LAST YEAR. It has finally started construction.
I'll attach some floorplans of the basement real soon.
