    Quest to build a home pool room.

    The roof is actually Eternit, it is a fibre cement with better insulation properties than metal. I will add a split unit AC, so only a small hole will need to be drilled through and the compressor unit will be mounted outside. I was also thinking 18.000 BTU's. I have insulated the walls and...

    Any BOWLLIARDS / BOWLING game fans out there?

    Would be interesting to see a growth curve, just to know how you have improved over the years. As soon as I setup my table I want to start recording my scores and saving them in exel or something, just so you can see if you are improving or at a plateau.

    Quest to build a home pool room.

    Part 3 Started with the roof. Cut holes in the house wall so the 2x8’s could be partly slid into the wall, this ensures that they stay put and exert downward force on the cinder block wall. The roofing sheets are placed and finally I can work in some shade! I left a back piece open for...

    Quest to build a home pool room.

    Part 2 Carpentry work! I didn’t really draw out a blueprint for this project and my build was more figure it out as you go. I had an idea of what I thought it would look like and was constantly adapting it to account for my abilities. By now I was determined to build this myself and do...

    Quest to build a home pool room.

    At first I was going to build it with cement blocks, so I didnt think of having them put the anchors in when the slab was poured. But I used concrete bolts and plugs (about 10" long) in between every other stud.

    Quest to build a home pool room.

    I started playing pool at about 12 years old, my dad had a little carom table (5ft) and we would play on that. Later I started playing in a pool hall that was open for kids in the afternoon and kicked us out at like 8pm. I played throughout my youth and in college I was in my collegiate team...

    I'm going to miss pool for a while...

    I was on a cruise a few weeks ago, ship did have a pool table but at $3 a game on a 6ft table with extreme roll it was pretty bad. Just enjoy the vacation and download a few good pool matches to watch while relaxing.

    $2000 Bank Bend Challenge

    I think the price is the limiting factor. It is a little too high. If you lower it slightly it will be more of an impulse buy and you can count more on volume. At least that is what is limiting me from getting the BU video. I have the VEEB and I think it is great btw.

    What kind of chalk do you use?

    Magic now, although to be hones, I chalk before every shot, so if you secretly switched my chalk with a Masters I don't think I would notice.

    Dogging the Money Ball..just conversation.

    I always try to play the last shot freezing my cueball to a rail. That way even if I miss I make it a little harder on my opponent and I am playing position.
