I talked to Oscar from Pool Table 911 this morning who is considered to be one of the best pool table mechanics in the country who happens to be local to me. He is also known on AZB. We set a date for the table to be assembled on May 4th. As you can see from the pics above, a lot needs to be...

Yes sir. Couldn’t agree more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you. Your kind words are greatly appreciated. I’m doing what I can when I can and hope the end result will be worth it. Surely it will. It won’t be the fanciest home pool room out there but it will get me stroking again and that’s all that matters to me. Building your own place must have...

Will definitely be worth it in the end. I wish I had enough space for a 9’er. With a 60” cue and 7” of backswing, the room is just a few inches too short. I’m ok with an oversized 8 though. Just slightly smaller than a 9’ and you can still play one pocket and straight pool without things getting...

Thank you! It doesn’t look like much right now but considering how it was when we moved in, a lot has been done. Took about 9 or 10 6.5’ pickup truck beds full of debris to get to this point so far. Thank you! Thanks. Bob Maidoff, the owner of Drexeline has collected some pretty incredible...

I’ve had quite a few interruptions with other projects around the house over the last couple weeks. A few small things (grind nails off the walls, take nails out of joists, fill holes in floor, clean up wiring etc.) still need to be done downstairs but demo is pretty much finished. You can...

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. Good info there. Might look into doing the same for my light. Your setup sounds pretty good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Picked up my table today. I was able to get one of the tables from the legendary Drexeline Billiard Club in Drexel Hill, PA. I went with an oversized 8’ Gold Crown 4 (9’ will not fit). Was able to get the table, Brunswick light and a few old posters for the walls. It will sit patiently waiting...

Maxx, Dead Money, That’s what I’m thinking! Should be picking up the table on the 29th of this month. The room obviously won’t be done yet but at least that part is figured out. The table will sit disassembled patiently waiting to be installed.

Beam/lally column update: This whole time I’ve been thinking too hard about removing the post in the way and being done with lally columns all together. The one in the middle of the room definitely needs to go in order to fit a table down there. I’ve been so dead set on having to reinforce the...

Got the brick/cinder block wall out. Fireplace will stay where it is. When we were kids, it was wood burning but they have since converted it to gas. For some reason on the bottom back layer of the decorative brick wall, they had cinder blocks filled with concrete. That job sucked even with a...

Good info there. Thank you. Here’s what I’m working with. The steel I-beam runs the entire span of the house. The pic below is one that I took a while back before we closed on the home. In the pic below, you can see how the beam rests on the brick/cinder block. The wall in the pic is the wall...

That sounds like a gem. Hold on to that one bud. I sealed the deal yesterday for a table and light package for the future home pool room. Pretty excited as it is one of four tables I would be happy with and with the layout I’m working towards, I’ll get a full cue all around the table with a 60”...

That’s cool. I’d hold on to that gold crown. I bet that one is a gem. I’ve had a 9’ diamond pro am before but would be inclined to choose a gold crown 2 that belonged to my uncle over a new diamond any day. I wish I could fit a 9’er. An oversized 8’ is the best I can do downstairs. I’m too picky...

Some good info in the last few posts. Thanks guys. Slach, I’ve seen pics of those lights where the perimeter is lighted only. Not sure if I would like those. Would have to see one in person. I love walnut. I was going to build my light out of 1x4 walnut boards with dovetail joints on the...

Already there. Still going to consult with a structural engineer before we tackle that part just to be safe about it all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree 100% sir. Murphy already started to poke his head out with a few little things but that’s bound to happen. When you have the money, you don’t have the time, when you have the time, you don’t have the money. And I’m short on both! Lol. It will get there eventually. And will be worth it in...
