I have finally finished my basement remodel project with the home theater setup. I have been planning and designing this project for years, off and on. I spent a considerable amount of time planning the location and layout of the pool table so that I would have no obstructed shots. I eventually opened up a bearing wall (with engineer approval!) so that I could utilize the area adjacent to the pool table for a built-in pub table sitting area. That table area is blocked from view to the main TV, so I installed a 20" LCD over the pub table. I have the 50" plasma connected to the DirectTV receiver by HDMI, and component to the LCD, such that both TV's simultaneously display the same broadcast. This works out well as I can see both TV's from the pool table.

Anyway, thanks to all here who have provided immeasurable help in answering my questions and the questions of others. Also thanks to Axiom for the many helpful articles. I started out as a complete novice and could not have done this on my own.

Here are some pictures of the (almost) finished project. I still need to finish the base of the built-in pub table, but I am still trying to figure out what I want to do there.

Just beautiful. I love the TV by the pub table.

Awesome room(s) Bob...

Every time I see basement setups like this it makes me want to move up north just to have a basement, to me those basements are like having a whole house floor dedicated to fun ... also makes me extremely jealous.

Beautiful work my friend!

That's funny Rick never even saw you post (posted at the same time) and we said the same thing. Well there is no etoupia, never seen a snow shovel or a basement - so maybe it all works out. But seriously, Adam has one awesome area there. If I had a room(s) like taht, I would never go to work, so maybe there is a reason for everything.

Jon, I'm quite sure Adam does have an awesome area but Bob's ain't so bad either. \:\)

I remember visiting my folks-in-laws up in Pennsylvania years ago, going down into the basement and thinking da'yaam this place would make an extremely nice ... something or another*.

*I wasn't much into the music/movie stuff back then. ;\)

That's alright Randy, whenever your retired azz is living in Florida one day you be sure to remind Jon and I just how nice those basement thingies y'all have had up there really *were* ... and don't act like it ain't going to happen.

See you soon!
