... Did you ever get your dust situation cleaned up Fred? Nudge nudge for pics. Drywall and mud dust are notoriously bad for travelling everywhere. Should anyone encounter such a task, be sure to plug the vents in the area.... You know, I almost feel guilty watching you slave away at your theater while I play movies and video games in my mancave. Then I remember that Bob branded me an ahole... Yeah, I got the dust cleaned up eventually. That stuff is persistent. I had to vacuum my leather couch and then wipe it down and I'd swear there is actually still a little plaster dust in the wrinkles that just won't budge. I'll post some pictures... just as soon as I kill that dragon...

Well, dont feel too bad. I shouldnt be too much longer now. A few weeks till the space is finished, then into the nitty gritty setup details. That could take a while..... I'll have to reign in the tweak OCD to hurry things along. thinking it might be time to order screen material, or at least start final research looks.

Serenity, have you narrowed down screen manufacturers yet? Going AT or non? Someone pointed me to this UK company Screen Excellence. They have a weave that is supposed to be the most transparent out there. They do sell the material for DIY but if you buy with frame... Price doubles! (???) strange . Falcon seems to be a brand of choice as well. Talk soon.

Screen excellence seems to be the UK arm of Seymour AV. They are big favs of a few users here on the forum and currently the far ahead front runner in my research. There is a white paper comparing various screen materials posted somewhere back in this thread I think. Seymour cleaned up in third party testing. I think Falcon was included and did well. I'll try to repost the link.

and finally a view from the workout side of the room Pretty close to where we all started together. Thank you all for your input so far! It is turning out great. Here is how the AV pantry turned out. Still needs paint and shelf runners installed, but you get the idea. Auto temp controlled cabinet cooling fans mounted up top. Cant wait to pull a cold one out of the fridge that goes in there!

Dude it looks amazing. Where do you find the time and energy. I get tired looking at the progress.
