Drew get it done! It is a great use of extra space and it is by far the cheapest square footage that you will ever add to you house.
Jason I would love an outdoor room but in WI you would really only have a couple months to enjoy it.-Mark

This is a MUST have in the next house we buy...unfinished basement
That's a great show! I have a lot if ideas from watching that. I have my DVR set to record them.
New Guy, with all the concrete down there what are you going to use for sound deadening? It may get echoey once you start using the theater and bumpin' the tunes.

Unfortunately, I recently experienced the other end of "cheapest" when in comes to the basement. In our last home, our finished basement was FANTASTIC with a theatre room, full bath, bedroom, office, bar, play area and workshop. Sheetroock ceilings, trey ceilings, crown molding, tile & carpet all on it's own heatpump system. Frankly, it was finished nicer then the first 2 floors and we spent the majority of our time there.
BUT, when we sold the home, we learned (and confirmed with an appraiser we hired ourselves) that below grade square footage is calculated at a severly discounted rate. So, why floors 1 & 2 were calculated at $100/sqft, the basement was calculated at $15/sqft. No positive adjustments for any of the items I mentioned. Just a simple sqft measurement X $15. In the end, while I did a lot of the work in the basement myself, I lost $$ but was OK with it b/c we did enjoy that part of our house tremendously.

I am already looking at building acoustic panels where the the projector is going to kill the sounds. Right now it is a big echo chamber for sure. I didn't want to do carpet or sheetrock because I am in a low area of the subdivision and I don't want to worry about water even though it has stayed dry down there for the last couple years. So I will be figuring something out for sound.
Drew I would like to go that nice but frankly I understand the value of it. It may not increase you value a ton but it definitely will help sell you place over the neighbors unfinished basement a double edged sword. So I am trying to keep my budget in check.-Mark

Good plan. I love the floor and the grunge look. Need some Harley stuff and some old movie posters. -- Hey! I may have some decoration stuff for you. We had our family room at our old house done with old movie theme. Let me know if you want some black and white pics from old movies for the theater end of the room. They're just sitting in a box somewhere. I'll give you a list of what's there and send you the prints if you want any of them. Just PM me if you have any interest.

This is awesome! Love the progress. Not many basements here in the NW. They tend to turn into swimming pools.

None here either. In FL you dig down 5 ft anywhere and hit water.

Kane that would be awesome!
Some more pictures of the bar back in place. (There is no beer because I was just at lunch)
The bar top is going to be carbon fiber vinyl covered with polyurethane coating
