Home Cinema basements?

["mark_harrison_uk2" <mph@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

The "Mark Harrison long-term plan to self-build" gets a little
further. One of the key decisions we need to make is whether to have a
basement or not, since that influences site selection.

It's always struck me that a Home Cinema in a basement would work
fairly well, since it would be dark :-)

It's also struck me that the other rooms to have in the basement are:

- Laundry
- Node zero / network room / server room
- Storage room

So, two questions:

1: Do you have a basement home cinema? If so, has it actually worked
out well?

2: What other rooms do you have in a basement that have ended up useful.

What I'm trying to avoid is building rooms that never get used....
