True. I'm going to paint the entire ceiling and the front (so many feet, but don't know yet), a flat black, so hopefully that won't be a problem. Each size screen smaller is 7 inches narrower and 3 inches shorter, so downsizing the screen size isn't helping much. By the time I get one with an extra foot of clearance at the top, it's a whole 28 inches narrower. Not a real good option.

It wouldn't be right on the ceiling, but close. The frame would be about 2 inches and I would mount the frame about 2 inches away, so there would be at least 4 inches between screen and ceiling. This is a problem going with a wide screen and only having 7 foot (minus about 3 inches for drywall and flooring) ceilings.

I think I've just about talked myself into installing Dri-Core subflooring, for 2 reasons. #1 reason is to help keep the floor warmer by putting another layer between you and the concrete, and #2 reason is to keep the floor dry, just in-case another leak develops in the wall sometime in the future. Not going to install it in the entire floor, just inside the HT room, leaving a small gap for ventilation and inspection around the parameter of the room.
