New basement setup

polk500

So after a few months last winter finally the basement is finished. And for anyone who's done this you know how much work it is.

Now we haven't got it decorated to my wife's taste quite yet,I made some panels for wall treatments but we haven't come to an agreement about what fabric to use. So some where down the road I may or may not install them.

Now all the walls and ceiling are insulated; outside walls pink insulation inside walls rock wool same as the ceiling.

Also the doors to the washroom and furnace room are call safe and sound basically solid core doors. It does keep the noise of the furnace to a minimum.

I must say the system sounds good.

My equipment is in a small closet to the right. I think I like the clean look as we get more furnishing set I will probably like it more.

Oh the room is 15 x 14 x 9' foot ceiling.

Sorry for the messed up attachments just figure out this afternoon how to upload from my Ipad

Cheers

I used two L brackets made from 1/4 inch x 1inch steel spray bombed black mounted upside down. The speaker sit up foam tape and the wall behind the TV is 1/2 plywood so it soildly mounted. Of course that's a little extreme but the TV weights 165 LB.

I would have no problem useing butterfly anchors in drywall if I couldn't catch a stud to screw into.

Thanks guys, and as for riding on the horse and using the telescope the same time. That would be a recipe for disaster for sure. And my neighbors are all ugly anyway wouldn't take a chance magnify them the lens might crack.

Nice hardwood floors! Is it ash?

Imperial Walnut by Trillium it's an enginneer hardwood click flooring very nice to work with about 5/8 of an inch x 3.5 wide. I couldn't use plank flooring because the floor was below grade.

Some more pictures of the Reno, this bathroom almost drove me over the edge as I'm not a plumping or electrician. Lots of reading,pulled permits of course can't take any chances of making any mistakes.

Biggest thing in the wiring was fishing the wire over to the panel and installing the breakers a 220 gfi 30 amp and a 110 gfi 20 amp For the steam shower.

Think it came out well. Always wanted a separated water closet now I got one.

Looks nice man, maybe toe those speaks in a tad. Enjoy.

Thanks Tony,

Being doing lots of experimenting with placement.
So currently they are 8" from the wall toe in 1/2" not sure what the degree would be that would require me to think to much tonight.

But because you mention it I suspect it not enough so I will toe in more and see how it sounds.

Thanks for the input.

It's a VT30 65" best TV I've owned, I've had it just about two years and still amazed at the picture.
