Basement Reno w/ In-wall/ceiling 7.1 System
A complete 13' x 20' basement renovation to include a fully-featured 7.1 in-wall/in-ceiling system featuring Polk speakers. Update - Dec 2012. Although it has been functionally complete for a few months now, the "Theatre Room" is now complete with final paint, stain, and clean-up. Merry Xmas to me!
