Thanks Everyone,
The flood happened because my neighbor built a bridge over a creek that runs through our backyards. The creek rose high enough to wash the bridge out, which got lodged in a large pipe that runs under the road. The water was 4 1/2 feet deep in the basement. The creek actually rose about 9 feet. I now have flood insurance
The wall accents are functional. The room was very echoey (is that a word?). They are positioned 1/2 way between the screen and the 1st row of seats and 1/2 way between the screen and the 2nd row of seats.
I'm considering putting something on the ceiling that will soak other reflections also. However, I don't want to mess up the clouds and stars that move across the ceiling (not visible in the pictures).
I think the best part of the theater is the front speakers. They are behind the screen on the box platforms you can see I was building. I'll try to get pics of that room tonight..
Thanks Again,
Todd
