my home cinema room is finished (pics)

Me, the wife and our 2 year old son moved to austraila one year ago next week, since march 2004 my home theater gear has been packed up in boxes, NOT ANYMORE
13 days ago i stated to convert the garage and today its finished it cost a little bit over $2000 and i managed to do all the work myself, some things i'd done for the first time like the coving and plaster boarding but some how i pulled it off and we love it.
as you can see i dont have a projector yet but all the wiring is in place for one, thats next on the to-buy list.
The first pic was taken 13 days ago on march 17
next two taken yesterday march 29.

Looks awesome! And 13 days is just unreal! It's taken nearly 6 weeks for me to complete my garage conversion!

Good looking room and great amount of space. Are the Aussies big into HC or do they think you're a mad Pom? Good work.

Looks Great. how did you set up the wiring for the projector? Im guessing that the white bit on the roof that looks like a smoke alarm is some kind of cover? Im building soon and will need to do the same.

Wow nice room,
I just got mine re done from a bar style which I didn't like to a much more modern style that I do. I'm glad to see your lovely mac sitting in the corner too (mac fangirl here) and I have one in my HC room also hehe
