I have to admit, when I delivered and installed Joe's Diamond ProAm 9ft pool table, I didn't know what to expect from Joe. I never really knew much about him, as I was not much of a TV watcher. When I got to his house, my first thoughts were what a "pain in the ass" it was going to be getting this pool table into Joe's house!!!!! After several hours of rolling the table on a dolly across 2 x 8"s to get it all the way around the house so that I could get it into the room where it was going, I finally got it installed, then I had to come back the next day to recover the table, changing the IPT shit cloth to Simonis 860 tour blue and re-buffed the rails...I finally got that done. I came to Joe's house looking at his install as just another job, but left there very impressed. The money for the job was OK, but I guess what impressed me the most, was that after all the work was done, Joe and I played some 8 & 9ball, just goofing off...but I was impressed with the fact that Joe could actually play! I was surprised to say the least. I guess it's because that Joe could actually play that made the job of installing his table...not so bad after all...LOL, I didn't feel like breaking my back went to waste...LOL...seeing that was worth more than the pay...and yes Joe gave me a tip...not that it was needed. The satisfaction that Joe could really play pool, out weighed the pay and the burden of the job.
I can tell you all, that I could tell by the look in Joe's eyes, the way he walked around the table addressing his shots, and the way he stroked his cue...he's hooked on the game...LOL. I'm sure we'll all see more of Joe around the pool tournaments in the future...LMAO...if not as a player, then for sure as a rail bird!

PS. Joe...I'm in Erie, PA right now doing my job of either delivering or setting up pool tables, but I'll be heading to California shortly...you still have my extention cord hooked up to your pool table light?...LOL...I'll play you a race to 5 to get it back or just stop by and pick up the money for the extention cord and you can keep it...I think I paid about $250 for it....LMAO
