Thanks Hemi. A lot of good ideas in there. Fyi LVP is super easy to clean up. I do plan on putting a subpanel in for the basement so I'll have plenty of electrical capacity there. I have a number of LED recessed lights already roughed in and i am quite happy with the light level. My personal preference is towards the warmer side of the kelvin scale. But dimmers are in the plans. I'm stuck with the gas forced air HVAC system. I think you guys have convinced me that I'll use backdrops rather than build additional walls Thanks for the comments
