Wow, really coming together now. Looks ace.

Cheers man, yeah all of a sudden it's just starting to look like I'm getting there now and it is starting to actually look like a room instead of a bomb site... have to admit, it's tiring lol

Right, mini update today, we finally finished the plasterboarding... thank god for that, seemed to take a lot longer than I thought but it's done. So, tomorrow will be doing the stair strings and re-seating the stairs and hopefully have the two mini stages in as well... so, fingers crossed we get a nice full day tomorrow.

Ok guys the day I've been waiting for... well one of the big milestones... plastering started... so this is where we got to today... was a late start from the plasterer but he worked hard and long and he's coming back tomorrow to do the ceiling... the quality seems spot on, it's so smooth... just what I need obviously....

What PJ you running for this build?
Hi matey, so I'll be running this lot... 120" Duronic 16:9 Projector Screen, Sony VPL-VW320ES 4K Projector, Denon AVXR6400H Amp 11.2, QAcoustics 3050 Front Standers, 3020 x4 Side/Rear Surrounds, 3090C Centre Speaker, 3070S Sub and QAcoustics QI65S x4 Atmos, Sony X800 4k Player, Toshiba EP30 HD-DVD, XBOneX,

Ok slight update, just to show where I'm going... so all ready and cleaned up for the carpet fitters tomorrow...

So as already said the cut out on the lower stage is for the two seater to slide into which will finish the "Millennium Falcon" stage off nicely even allowing small tables there if needed hahaha...

Plus we've chosen a name for the new cinema room but that will be unveiled nearer the completion.

So, plan is, carpet in 27/11/2020, spark is coming to connect all the final wiring etc... then paint ceiling and walls assuming they're 100% dry 28/11/2020 ... another coat 29/11/2020... get curtains up over all three doors.... and then move the hifi in.... probably from 1st December onwards...

Looks amazing, Superb amount of space in there also.
Just wondering why did you build that platform going off the bottom of the stairway? are you keeping the sofa on that?

Yeah so that 3 seater will go there and the 2 seater that I have (not in the picture obivously), will slide into the recess at the front... I wanted a two tier seating arrangement, so needed the rear stage higher. Will show up better once the carpets in tomorrow I think and the seater is in there on Sunday!

Ohh that makes sense,I originally thought you were just having the 3 seater in there and that was it, Looks fantastic though and super jealous id love something like this in the future, Looking forward to seeing how it progresses further :)

Every time I visit this thread I dream of having my own cinema room but then think I would probably regret not using a room of that size for a snooker table.

Gonna look amazing when it's finished.

Ok so, sorry but been working 12 hours days at the minute, what with work then doing this cinema room... so, here goes...

Plastering was finiished Wednesday 25th, windows went in 26th and look fantastic... then Friday 27th carpets went in... well nearly went in... as they ran out of carpet and made a bit of a **** up on the measuring leaving me the front small stage and the whole of the stairs short... to say I was cheesed off is an understatement, so tomorrow they're ordering more carpet, however in the mean time, I need carpet ont he stairs so they're coming out to lay something temporary which when my carpet comes in they can replace, obviously free of charge as it's their mistake...

So, since then, I've had to paint all landing upstairs and do some other DIY int he house, then had to paint the ceiling and walls with their first coat etc and measure up doors...

So, this is where we'rte currently at... we're waiting for the spart to connect all lights and sockets now... and then 2nd coat of paint then it'll be fitting the banana plug wall sockets and start getting the stuff in... curtains, poles, speakers, hifit, measuring the height of the screen and all the good stuff... getting close now...

Excuse the poor photos but was in a rush when I took them and also poor light as well... however you get the idea...

No subs?!
Yeah as stated just a QAcoustics 3070S, however the plan is next year to go for 2x Monolith 12in THX 500-Watt Subwoofers which will be sweet as, however at the minute I had such a tight budget, and I got a deal... if I need more beef I can swicth for the yamaha in my living room... will see how it goes...

Ok so it's been a bad week, the boiler packed in and needed a new pump etc, then the electrical system to the emersion went **** up so... had a lot of problems which has slowed my progress... however... here we are. Ceiling is now complete, 2 layers of black, lights all in, speakers in and projector attached this evening...
Sunday could be a cheeky film if we get our skates on over next couple of days... walls need 2nd coat and cutting in... but nearly there for the basic finish for COP Sunday!
