I designed a 15x19 foot basement theater that would first give my family and friends the ultimate movie-going experience. After framing the space, we installed a moisture-resistant subfloor system and constructed walls with a special sound-engineered drywall. After laying down carpet and installing in-wall speakers, some gorgeous woodworking finished the job.
