Here are a few progress pics up to the point I'm at now:
Before I bought the house:

stripped the basement down, reinsulated and vapour barriered everything:

more destruction:

19" in wall rack

The last time I used my TV:

All new decora outlets, light switches, and plates in black, new track lights as well:

Started painting

Temporary "bar" area (a shelf full of scotch and cigars)

Fixed frame acoustically transparent screen assembled:

It's coming along. I still need to retexture the ceiling, mount my projector, build a stage for the screen and a false wall to hide the speakers, build a riser for my second row of theater recliners, and a bunch of other stuff with lighting, baseboards, trim, and painting. I'm also simultaniously putting in a bathroom downstairs:
Before:

loser to how it is today:

I put up a wall, replumbed everything, moved my in floor drains, installed a shower, instal;led infloor heat and poured thinset in the bathroom, it's also been insulated, drywaled, mudded and taped. As it sits now it's ready for paint, then tile, then I can install my fixtures, shower doors, vent fan, and drop ceiling. I also got the sauna working
