If I remember right, that question has been asked and answered (a couple times). I think it's back toward the beginning...and then back a few pages he answered that again. (It was a good question though!

Thread definitely is more positive and has more information than most threads for the do-it-yourself person. Amazing thread. Some talented person should put all the pictures into a video on YouTube when its done. That would be nice to see.
You get three "aye's" because I think you're the "Custom Pool Room's" BIGGEST FAN!!! (No pun intended!

With the lack of updates I had nothing else to do but read over this thread from the beginning. Dsoriano you stayed true to your plans. Your bar looks just like your dwg on page 4 and your trim work matches exactly the dwg on page 2. You have a gift to build what you envision. What surprises me is you haven’t swayed or changed from your original plans one bit. Is there anything you might have considered changing?
Short answer; I own a shovel.
longer answer, when I built the house I ran a water line to the back shed and it happen to cross two feet from the main (electrical) panel box. When I dug the trench for the electrical I ran the water lines and cable feeds. The sewer city tap is located a few feet from the pool rooms bath. It doesn't cost anything to dig and tap into it
unless you pay a contractor big bucks.:angry:See post 403 page 26 for pics
Wow, good question. I constantly go over the plans to fine tune any details I might have over looked but like I said in a previous post, I started designing this room about seven years ago as a dream. So to a point it's been a blessing I didn't build it sooner. That time permitted me to consider all aspects of the design and make changes then and not now. I have different layout versions I drew up. I'll see if I can find them and post them up. But to date I'm confident what I designed is what I want the final product to look like to the very last detail.

Absolutely beautiful wood work. I want to do something similar trim wise, but don't have the tools. Florida doesn't provide for a basement, so no place to keep the tools. Oh well.
Whats next to build?
1.5" Trim
Well after spending a weeks vacation with the family, it was good to be back home. I was able to spend a couple hours working on the Room when we got back. I started routering (chamfering) the 1-1/2" stock for the trim on the Bar and build-outs. For the Bar fur-down I decided to drop it down a bit so it wouldn't have such a flat look from underneath. I routered 3 sides on this trim only. Looking at the pictures it shows an 1/8" lip.

I continued this trim detail around the bar wall unit and all of the build-outs to tie the room all together and have a sense of consistency. I didn't have much time but I was glad to finish this portion of trim. The third pic down is of the build-out it's the only build-out with crown molding. This weekend I'll complete all build-outs.

Well, my goal is to completely finish ALL of the molding trim in the room this weekend. The
1.Crown molding for the build-outs
2.the wainscoting Shoe-mold on all recess panels
3.hanging the interior doors
4.triming the windows
5.triming the doors
6.completing the chair rail,-very little left.
I'm very close and hope to have everything lightly sanded and ready for staining soon. Last night I had the family help me move most of my tools out to the storage room and organize the room a little, this was time consuming! I also started breaking down the pool table bases. I'll soon start to strip and sand these.

AZ Should perhaps start a forum called HALL OF FAME instead of all the Sticky Threads. And THIS thread should be the first one elected. Always enjoy the updates here.
Edit..Just saw we have a Hall of Fame for remembering those that have passed. Maybe change that to the PLATINUM THREADS or something similar.
