Home Theater Update: Material & Stage

I did not think I could get it as smooth as I wanted it so I brought in the professionals. Today they gave it a good coat of mud and fixed a little of my handy work. Tomorrow they will be back to do a sanding and another coat of mud. Here are some of the original plans that I did for the room. This first one is with an opening into the room about 9 feet wide.
