A lurker here for a while and getting ready for a bit of work . . .
First off I like the logical layout of RaZorTT's initial page so have tailored to match, thanks!
My wife and I are currently in the middle of renovating our house, an ongoing / never ending project? The best part about the renovation is that we are planning to build a room into our loft that is going to become our HT. There is still a bit to do on the planning / council point of view, but we are getting very close to being able to get stuck into building the HT.
The dimensions of the room are as follows:
width: 4400
length: 5000
Height: 2400
The room, being in the loft has some interesting shapes but that can be tackled at a later stage, we are planning 5 windows, 4 velux and one gable end one which will have a nice view of the Firth of Fourth.
I am planning to insulate with var materials and techniques found in the forum
I am planning to pre-wire for a 7.1 setup (I only have a 5.1 setup at the moment), using some form of cable management tray as there is plenty of space behind what will be the plasterboard.
Seating
TBA
Screen
Will need to be a bit of a bodge as the gable end will probably have a window so will need to be removable so will need to tackle that later.
Speaker Locations
TBA, as above statement will be wired for 7.1 but with wall angles and no decision on seating will need to be looked at..
Sandman’s whole thread was very interesting with loads of ideas and inspiration, thanks
Walls
TBA
Ceiling
Will definitely include a star ceiling in some form but will come later, but because of the shape of the roof will need some thought closer to completion..
Lighting
Again as TBA
Colour Scheme
TBA
Equipment rack
Will contain a 19” rack just right of the entrance door which is one thing I have access to, being in IT… just missed an old CRAY supercomputer rack on ebay the other day with a nice smoked glass door…
Door and entrance
Again will be last on the list but thinking of door access, maybe the tardis from Doctor WHO…bigger on the inside etc, but that will need to come later!!
Starting to look into things like

Room Mode Calculator and Converter by hardman (http://www.hometheatershack.com/for...ction/337-room-mode-calculator-converter.html)
I will post pictures over the course of the next few months / years / decades....
Thanks in advance!
