Custom Pool Room

Accessories

I really scored here! The lady I bought the tables off of really liked dealing with me and she says to me "Daniel, would you like another set of balls?" I told her they were Brunswick Centennials and that they were very expensive balls. She says it's ok take them, then she says, you know what take another 2 sets so that way you can have extra balls! Then she reminds me to pic out 8 house cues, bridges and triangles.
It really pays to be polite. I got everything thrown in for the price of the tables!
Five sets of Brunswick Centennials! :smile:

btw That's my son organizing the stuff.

Major score! Being kind and polite always pays off! She rewarded your politeness with a kindness of her own. That's a lot of great stuff! Thanks for the updates. Can't wait to see more.

I have a sony reciever capable of handling six speakers which I am planning to hook up to a laptop as a juke box.

I am doing a similar thing but using a small pc that will fit into an AMI WQ-200 wallbox and using it with this...

Thanks for the tip. I definitely need to read up more on PC Juke box systems. My main concern is wiring everything correctly before the sheetrock go's up. Thanks again.

See if you can find something you like made by Shaw. I will see what I can do.

Bar design layout

I had a difficult time deciding on a bar layout, but I needed to finalize it due to the fact that I need to get the wiring done for the lighting, imo lighting makes or breaks a room design. People reall tend to underestimate accent lighting. Anyway here's the final design.


Revised the Bar layout, I made a few changes. My wife likes wine and she wanted a wine rack.

Just curious what program are you using to design all this?

dsoriano...Okay, so is the big bottle on the top shelf, or the little bottle on the bottom shelf, the Crown Royal? I'd know that shape anywhere! LOL Nice bar drawing. It will make a beautiful addition to your room. :thumbup:

Both. The little one is for the days I'm shooting pretty good, and the big bottle is for the days I'm shooting bad. In case your wonderin, I have more bad days.

Autocad release 2009. It coverts dwgs into PDF's and JPG'S

I wired the recess cans and speakers this weekend. Also wired all the light feeds for the bar area, connected the dimers, switches and plugs for the TV feeds.
I wired the table lights seperately and used 2x4's for the support brackets. I am close to installing the insulation. I just need a few more details and I should be ready.
The heat index here yesterday was 108 !!! I'm dropping by Home Depot after work to pick up some thermostats. I'm curious to know how hot it really gets in the room during the day. My wife can't seem to buy enough bottle water!

Congrats for such an awesome project. Just an idea, and you may be too far into your room, but if you had wrote out step by step how you did this, including blueprints and an itemization list, you can sell and maybe offset the cost a bit. I'm sure there may be a few peeps out there who would like to rebuild a similar room themselves.

That's not a bad thougth, I might start a new post and maybe offer that option. I've designed several custom home plans in the last three years and have quite a bit of experience working with clients. I include a material/cost list and all framing/ detail dwgs in the set.
Thanks for the idea!

I've been following this thread quietly since day one...just have to step in to write something since I've been deprived of anymore photo updates keep'em coming bud, this is cooler than watching a cue design come together! Wish I'm in the states, would've helped with some good and cheap furniture.

More pics

Well haven't made much progress lately just been workning on small details. I nailed down the wiring sequence of the main entry light switches.
I decided to split the table light switches into a double so as I can control them seperately. No need to have both lights on when I'm playing alone. I Also wired both ceiling fans together using an auto controller for the speeds. This prevents me from having to use drop strings to adjust the fan speeds.
