    build a media room over the garage - or an addition to the back of the house - or a separate out-building on the back 40.... yeah thats it, a separate outbuilding will work.

    I like the bunker idea. The backyard is big enough for a good size listening/HT room, and it can be covered over with grass. I have thought of the over the garage or second floor option, but I was thinking the basement would be better for sound proofing.

    Why not both, the top you can turn into an observation deck....if you have anything to observe that is. Like maybe a hot neighbor who sun tans naked, I dunno. Or a covered patio on the top. Options are endless. Heck, open a outdoor bar up on the roof, 5 buck cover, make some money.

    I have had basements in my 2 homes, and love it. Place to keep my drums and practice, so I try to keep it nice. Not remodeled, just nice. Kinda gives that Jam atmosphere and I dig it. Also keep the foosball table down there for unsuspecting victims!!:razz:
