Big changes here. Looking from behind the last row of seats, the feeling is of being in a movie house in 1947. The screen was created from sheets of drywall, mudded, sanded and painted a very light flat gray. There is a shelf under the screen, draped in a very lightweight black fabric, for the center channel speaker. The other 2 speakers rest on the "stage", a 4" carpeted platform under the screen. This will prevent damage in the event of a flooded basement. |
| Movies can be shown in a 2:35 aspect ratio as shown in the picture
above, or in a taller 1:85 (16X9) as show on the right. The seats were originally in the Warehouse Theater in Yakima, Washington, which remodeled and auctioned them off on e-bay. We had them shipped across country, which cost much more than the cost of the seats themselves, but they are well worth it. The back row of seats is on a platform 12" above floor level. The middle row is raised 6", and has a short platform for a footrest. This enables the short members of the family to rest their feet on the floor. |

There is a fridge in the next room, under the EXIT sign, for
those cold beverages.The modified bookcase below holds not only a huge collection of paperbacks, but also an ever-growing collection of over 150 DVD's, Xbox & Dreamcast games, and a portion of the VHS tapes we've collected over the years. A small microwave is being considered to go with our never ending supply of microwave popcorn. |
