Theater Room Construction

This room incorporates everything I've learned from Mike Holmes about doing a basement properly, starting with the styrofoam exterior waterproof shell (inside the concrete basement shell, which is itself surrounded on the outside by a waterproof membrane), and not forgetting to fix up the builder's somewhat rough-and-ready attempt to insulate and vapour-barrier the rim joints. Inside the styrofoam then goes a fairly standard stud wall construction, except that now there's no need to insulate between the studs. Lots of wiring, and finally it's ready to paint and install the theater gear.
