Bouldering problems in your house

I recently decided to route up my garage, and I'm pretty excited! I bought two sets of the Metolius 10 hand holds set, and am about to buy some micro foot holds...

Does anyone have any tips/stories/questions about setting up routes and problems in your house? There are also some sick ass videos on youtube of people climbing around their house...

My dad built one in our basement a few years ago. (He's more into rock climbing than my brothers or I are, so we don't use it that much). It goes around 3 sides with some overhangs. The problem is it's not very high, so you can only do traverses.
The biggest problem we had setting it up was when my dad drilled holes for and entire sheet of plywood with the drill on reverse. Finally he asked my to do some because they were taking so long and I switched it back. It was really funny because I was only 8 or 9 at the time.

I can get some pictures up if you want just to see one one way of doing it.

Gonna go toprope a 200 year old barn tonight actually, we're picking away at the grout to make our own holds on the old stone. I'll snag some pics. Actually there is one of us bouldering the barn in the outdoor adventure pics thread right now.
