My dad and I have been working for a long time to finish our basement (half it it at least, its a HUGE basement)
We are basically at the point where the electrician can come in and put new outlets in, then we can begin dry walling.
What we really need is some direction into Televisions, sound systems, and interior design suggestions/tips. I believe he is wanting a single large TV (Im gonna try and talk him into 50+ inch Plasma :-D :-D!) and possibly 2 smaller screens as well, preferrably with sound switchers so we could turn sound off and on at the flip of a slector switch.
We definetly want surround sound (5.1 preferrably) but arent quite sure how all the new stuff works. We are hoping to put in a sound cabinet with all the stuff (DVD player, video game systems, digital cable boxes, all that type stuff.) Is there a good way to route the remote systems together (read ONE remote, rather then 12,000) and make it so we could use the remote without having to be right at the item in question?
We are looking for tips on celing as well. Currently the ceiling is unfinished 2x4 and bare insulation. We want to paint this all black, and hang a grid for a hanging celing, but with no tile in it. We found that painting the insulation is difficult, and are wondering if there is a specific type of paint we should use, or is it just not a good idea?
We are also hoping to install a bar in there, and if all goes according to MY plan (hehe) I want to get taps for beer installed in there. Whats the protocol on this, is it possible for a household to actually have taps installed?
Orginally we were looking at a bathroom, but I believe we have ditched that plan (IMO its a good choice, now we have room for a pool table) I HOPE i can talk him into the pool table, as I have wanted one for YEARS. What are good brand names and things to look for in pool tables?
Sorry for all the questions, but we are pretty excited about this
