Oh wow, that's classy. VERY well done Sir!
When you're 100% finished, it would be great if you'd post some pics in the sticky thread.  :wink:

These will be my last photos in this thread.  We mostly moved in over the weekend and it's coming together.  Still have to hang curtains and some pictures, clean up the cabling in the audio closet, install a microwave into the bar, and hook up the kegerator.

Audio-wise I still have to optimize my speaker positioning and run Audyssey.  Initial impressions after just moving everything in are that the bass is a little boomy -- maybe due to the corner loading and/or that fact that it's a smaller room with a cement floor (vs the wood I had upstairs) and totally different dimensions.  I'm fully confident XT32 can fix me right up. :)

Thanks for reading everybody!






Loving the new sofas!









The hallway leading from the steps is lined with four movie posters -- love the way it turned out








Color-changing LED bar lighting :D








The audio rack came out perfect!  Have to admit though, it does heat up the room behind it more than I expected.

So I lied.... two more pictures of the most important thing in the whole build -- the beer source!

Hi pg_rider.
I don't know how many gallons of beer there is behind the wall,
but look as if there is enough for all the AC members, therefore, how about throwing a big party to celebrate the completion of your man's cave.

I don't drink beer and I'm on planet Vietnam,
but the suggestion would be for all the other AC members.

A minor update:  added matching rear surrounds to the existing side surrounds and did a stone veneer on the stairway wall.  Couldn't be happier with the results!  Only thing left is to do dropped crown moulding with rope lighting.

Looks awesome! Did you do all the work yourself?

Cheers Rod

Hi pg,
I am looking for a place to stay after leaving planet Vietnam,
how much would you rent me your basement ?  :lol:
Nice place, I'm sure you are spending lots of good time in there.

Very nice.  Jealous I cannot do such a project until I buy another house someday.  We're thinking loft-style.

No, I paid top dollar to have a General Contractor do the whole job.  I have neither the skills nor the patience to do that kind of project.... but I can write a check with the best of them! lol

I particularly like the stone veneer on the landing of the stairway.
