Breaking ground on new backyard pool hall

Got power to my man cave today! Minni ac unit works great. Electrician installed my table light and will order carpet tomorrow! Plus i got my new boom box and i ordered Bob Dylans gteatedt hits, 3 cd's. Life is good!
Your room is going to fabulous. Very special...however Dylan? Please say it ain't so..please.
 
Ordered my carpet today at Ward's furniture store in huntsville texas. Won't get it for two weeks but i guess I'll wait. 3300$ and change. Blueish gray color, shouldn't show dirt bad but i do have a vacuum! Lol. I did put a door knob lock on my front door today so all i need is my pool table! I owe a little over 1700$ for carpet and i think that's my final spending so I'll try to figure out my total cost soon. I ordered two swivel bar stools with arm rest for a little over a 1000$ probably will get two more but my first two stools are still almost two weeks away. Probably are on a slowboat from China!
I know I asked before ...who is setting it up?
 
thought I was the only one. Hate em with a passion
Nope, I’m right there with you. The other thing I HATE, is the blasting stupidly loud music in some pool room / bars.. Studies have shown folks consume more alcohol when the music is blasting.
That’s all they care about is selling booze…
Stopped going to several places in NC. Blasting music, blasting led lights GTFO!

Any place with blasting music I’m out of there… including weddings🤣

One place was so loud my insides were shaking. Totally impossible to speak to a person right next to you.

The next week I had downloaded an OSHA decibel app to get an idea just how loud it was. Registered 128 decibels. Dangerous exposure level … Informed the team captain I was not going in there ever again.

The place got busted 6 months later for dealing drugs and allowing children (10 year old) to play a video poker machine while her Mom sat at the bar drinking. When her daughter lost the money Mom just gave her some more money.. She should have been arrested for abuse and lost custody, at least until she got treatment..

A year later in court they plead no contest were fined $100,000 and lost the gambling machines but managed to keep their liquor
license and stay open..

Ain’t been back and no plans to do so..

Talk about sleazy!!!
 
I've said before that my ideal pool hall would have good blues music playing in the background, but soft enough you can talk over it and good bbq cooking in the kitchen and classic old 9 foot tables with green cloth and Masters chalk

I am old school all the way....which should include smoking, but I hate that stench and it just killed my wife of 49 years.

Those old school tables all had burn marks on the rails!

Might be kinda cool to do that to a new Diamond..,

Sorry to hear about your wife, bet you both were hoping for 50 years together..

We just celebrated 47 years together in the 25th.
She has Lewy Bidy Dementia so our dream of making it to fifty is a coin toss, she might not even know who I am in three years..

Again my condolences on your loss.

Yep.. because selling booze as you put it has a high profit margin and they are a business who needs to make money. So selling “booze” is important. Here in pa a liquor license to sell “booze” will cost you over 400k so you better bet that if I own a bar or pool hall that sells it I’m going to be pushing “booze”

I honestly was never bothered my smoking until places started going non smoking. Now when the rare occurrence that I play in a league or tournament at a private club that has smoking I want to set my clothes on fire when I get home lol I remember opening my cue case the next day after some of the really bad bars and the stench being horrible.

i havent gone in a place in a few decades that has smoking. and few states allow it anymore and thats good.
if its okay to smoke why is it not okay to cough near someone's face. ill never know

and music i dont want to hear someone else's choice of music when i am in any place. that's me.
i can enjoy silence or having a conversation without competition when playing pool.
