I have missed a lot since I have been away.
This has been one of my absolute favorite threads on AZ.
I'm planning on building a pool room/house with upstairs living quarters (I'm a bachelor)and this thread will become a foundation for many things that I do on the project.
Yet another 2 thumbs up for you, Dan.
BTW, if you can get Scott in there to work with the kids, they could really turn out to be great players. Just think........access to a nice pool room. Great, professional instruction. A father with common sense, discipline and a strong work ethic.
Wait. Scratch the last part. They'll never be pool players! Lol.![]()
Well I'm experimenting with new lights. The previous ones I built lit up great! but they lit the whole room more than I liked. So I designed some new ones to direct the light mostly on the tables. I used 2 T-8 bulbs and I like the more compact design. They really darken the room and work great. I may continue to design a more wider light to really get the fell I'm looking for. I think I'm getting close.
I still need one more coat of stain and then need to apply several caots of polyurethane.
I post more pics once I'm done.

Where are you going to hang the Dart Board?
I had one as a kid and all I remember was having a wall full of holes from floor to ceiling. My aim hasn't improved since I was kid so I don't think it will be going up anytime soon.

How is your Dad doing now?
Thanks for the new Pics, last pics were of the mount you built for the flat screen, but you said you forgot to take pics of it after it was installed, can you get a pic and let us see? and the new lights when you get them hung up?
You've spoiled us, we not only want to see the process, but the finished installation too! LOL
Here are pics of the new lights I built. The T-8 bulbs really make a difference. I also like the more smaller light design. When Im shooting pool they dont block the view of the TV as much. Also I've gotten psoitive feed back from friends saying how the other lights gave off to much glare and affected their game. As for these everyone seems to like them.
