Building a backyard pool room

Painted ceiling Tuesday.

Wednesday - ceiling needs another coat, but couldn't do it because police action blocked off our house from the world from 11:30 to 7:30 pm (and needed more ceiling paint) :frown:

Thursday (today) - will repaint ceiling
Friday - Son will paint walls - AZB gets another picture when the room is finished getting painted!

Saturday - wife does the flooring
Sunday - mural guy tentatively scheduled to hang murals
Wednesday - pool table delivery :D

Ummm...in fairness your post that has the scheduled events earlier should be edited to 10 "me and son"...and 11 to "awesome wife" who not only lets you have the new room, but helps out it together! ;) :thumbup:

Teasing...it's gonna be awesome when it's done!!! :)
 
Today - painted walls, except for trim, hung the light fixture and the ceiling fan! :grin:
Can't tell from this pic, but walls are a light tan (Behr Brazilian Tan).

Crown mouldings?

Well... the blue masking tape looks so nice...

Actually, it's funny you should ask..

We're doing the flooring today - it's laminate planking "Bristol County Cherry" - more brown and less red than a lot of cherry flooring. We have matching baseboard only and are undecided at this point as to what we're going to do for the ceiling trim.

My first choice is to find a crown molding which is a matching, or generally matching wood grain - figure $200 and I haven't found one yet. If we go with a crown molding we need to paint, then it will be a dark brown. For now we're sticking with blue masking tape. :lmao:
 
I'll admit I cracked a little smile a while ago when you said you'd hoped to be done by Christmas :)

Looks great, I'm jealous!

Well, my first builder wasted 7 weeks and did nothing, had to replace him. My Pool table is the last thing on the list and it will be here Wed, Feb 3. Subtract 7 weeks from Feb 3 and it is back to Dec 16.
So my estimate was good, except for losing 7 weeks to a bad contractor.

Hey, just ribbin' you a little :) When I worked construction I was taught that you order about 1/3 material more than you expect to use. About the same can be said for the building time in my experience. Whenever it's done, it's done and it will be all yours.

No problem, just a sore spot - I really am focused on getting it done, not worrying about the past. Everything looks good now! :)
 
Got flooring done yesterday (still need baseboards) and got murals hung today!
Wall surrounding murals will probably be dark green.
:smile:

Where are the mural scenes from? Looks Northwesty.

Looks like the forest in Twilight. Congrats, that room is awesome.
I may have missed these in earlier posts, if I did please excuse me -
What did you put down as the subfloor? Do you need to heat it and how?
Did you need a building permit and an inspection?

The floor is 8mm laminate planks on moister-barrier/padding direct on the concrete slab. Heating the floor is not a factor down here, and I'm outside city limits, so I assume nobody will want to inspect it except friends and neighbors...;)
