BB61Merry Christmas to the BB61 household - finished our basement today!
I just installed the last door stop and we are now done!!! I wired the basement family room to have surround sound both length and width wise depending on how we like the arrangement of our funiture. I also have it plumbed for a gas fireplace but that will come in a year or two as money doesn’t grow on trees. We will be installing a 86” TV on Monday so the kids are exited too.
Merry Christmas to all of you as well!

Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

ScoutmasterThe first thing I noticed was all the various outlets on the walls. Are any of those HDMI outlets?

Sweet! I have a 75" in my living room, and I definitely wouldn't want to go any bigger in that room. (It's a little oversized, but not comically so.) But I can see that being awesome in a larger space.
Are you doing normal couches, or theater seating?

curt48mauserCongrats on a nice job, always nice to hit the finish line. And I was wondering if I was seeing HDMI outlets too.

ridewvLooks great BB61, I like the wall color.
No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

mark60Looks great and I love the future proof wiring. Did you use a subfloor or is the carpet right on concrete?

BB61To answer some questions: It is on a cement floor but I upgraded the padding. I did
put in HDMI cables, CAT wiring if we ever go to Comcast internet with CAT wiring to various rooms, various speaker and sub woofer wiring including ceiling speakers. Multiple light switches with dimmers too. I also put on extra outlets. I finally ran a special antenna wire to the outside wall for an antique radio/shortwave that I inherited from my grandparents. As a kid we listened to stations all over the world. I hope to set up a new antenna outside to do that again. Mrs BB61 is in charge of the couches. She is leaning towards an "L" shaped couch.

tatortoddLooks great! Great idea to prewire for the room to be laid out 2 different directions.
