This may help set the stage for the reveal in a day or two. The basement is not under the entire house but is about 2500 square feet. Not counting the storage areas, utility/workshop & stairwells I ended up finishing about 1800 square feet. Bedroom with legal egress windows at ground level, walk-in (walk through?) closet, bath w/shower, coat closet next to main stairs off the oversize hall (not sure what will go there...pinball maybe?) which leads to sliding walk-out door, media room, bar and small kitchen, and of course the billiard room.

Damn Sam, that's some plan! :thumbup2:
You really hit a Home Run here! If I ever make that cross country road trip I dream about I want to come visit you and play some pool there. I'll even pay the time! :smile:

Great basement. How many poles were needed to support the house? Are they the small black dots on the drawing?

I may need a boarder to pay the bills, convenient parking is available at a modest rate.

Both, the 0ld Brunswick sold before I moved, The Gold Crown III was a great deal but I didn't want to store it for a year, wasn't crazy about the look of it with what I wanted to do and was able to make a nice profit selling. I did stick with a Gold Crown but a different one I found 5 states away. You'll see.



Love the decals on your table! I have a GC2. As soon as the government shutdown is over and I get paid for working for free I am getting a set for my table.

Yes, but was able to incorporate the pillars in the design to hide some them. They mimic some on the main level. One is inside the pillar on the left side of the back bar, one in the pillar one the same side of the opening to the theater area, two that flank the stairs and another within the bedroom wall.

Very, very nice! What kind of flooring did you use?
Tile in the bar/kitchen area, bathroom and the sliding door area (walkout). The rest, about 1100 square feet is engineered hardwood. Most people avoid wood in a basement but if it's dry and you use the right materials it's fine.

Great pool room

Very very very worth it. Amazing!

I know what you mean about the train.
We had one similar, we could set it up
On special occasions. They way i
Remember, they are super heavy and
Strong and seemed would last hundreds
Of years easily. Like the original typewriters.

You sir are an inspiration.

Have a pool partner in detroit.
If i visit him this spring, we’re dropping by!

The flooring is very stunning along with everything else. Very nice job.

Rough electrical and insulation on the outside wall pretty well done. Of course I pulled a permit..well drew one anyhow. Drywall starts tomorrow...I hate drywall.

OP,



What software did you use for the layout shown in post #55?



Thanks,

Keith
It's actually just Excel. Changed row and column heights and widths to get the cells more or less square, used scale of 3 cells/foot and then just shaded cells to draw walls (1 cell is a wall about 4" thick). Inserted shapes or more shading for furniture.

Not too exciting I know but drywall hung and ready for mud...my least favorite task of all. The cubby is under the stairs from the garage and the perfect size for my mini fridge (2'w x 3'h) size humidor and the duct opening is the exhaust to outside.


The all important exhaust.
