Since I've not seen a "home room" thread for a while, I thought I would share what I've been up to since I moved a year ago.
When I took my new job, I had 2 stipulations about where I would live. (aside from the assumed indoor plumbing et. al...). 1. My dogs had to have a place to run outside and
2. I had to have a room big enough for my pool table.
Stipulation 1 was met by installing chain link around the entirety of my backyard. Stipulation 2 was met in the form of a detached 2 car garage.
Note: Ignore the mess, I know there's some things that need put away but it's been a busy/hot summer.
The first thing I did (after setting up my pool table), was install screen walls in the spaces occupied by the front (double) and back (single) overhead garage doors.
Front (double) overhead door
Rear (single) overhead door
After that was all said and done, I decided that I needed a light for my table, but I didn't want your typical light, I wanted something different so.... I re-purposed a few things that were in the way in the garage...
Yes, that is exactly what it looks like, and I'm kind of proud of it.
(Note: My brother showed up for a visit while I was building that. The quote was.... "Do I even want to ask?")
I had the room about where I wanted it, but I had some scoring beads that I had no idea where or how to hang as the overhead doors were in the way... A little bit of pool therapy and "Light bulb moment!..." problem solved.
Anyway, I hope this thread didn't bore you too much and at least one of you has been entertained. I spend more time in that "room" than I do in the house proper and I'm kinda proud. Now I gotta pick up some clutter.
