My best friend in Germany lives in Mainz. I stay at his place when I'm there.
He'll actually be staying at my place in three weeks.

Well, hit me up the next time you are here, and we can play some. Does your friend play?
Not at all...
Okay, then.. Tell him he has the 8 ball, then. :-D
Looks done enough!

What an absolutely perfect "man cave", as much as I hate that phrase.

I don't have a table yet but will be getting a 9ft for the basement. I have a 26x18ft area to put the table in and can put it in the 26ft wall or the long wall . They're putting a 30ft steel beam to support the joists and the post won't be in the way of anything. I'm putting down painters tape once the floor is poured to see which way I like the table.

Amazing!!!
Now...get rid of the painters tape for the toe line of the dart board and get a lazer light to do this job.

Have you thought about using light activated pigments in the cloth?
Think glow in the dark ink, for frequency specific pool lighting.
Projection technology emits too much thermal energy.

1. He has hardwood floors.
2. The comment was about his dartboard, not pool table.
3. The laser uses AAA batteries and works just fine. I use one with my board.
Never heard of that, but I don't play darts in the bars much anymore.Amazing!!!

I just briefly looked, but it appears you mount it on the wall under the dartboard, correct? Is it relatively flat? I'll have to spend some time looking all that up. Or, maybe just go over to Rick's Darts & Games. I'm sure they have one. It's just a 15-20 minute drive over there.
Anyway, thanks for the compliment and suggestion!

Yeah. For like $20-$30 bucks they are super cool. I have the Viper one. It works on batteries or a cord. So I have the cord run through the dart board machine. I also bought the top light for the board separate, but it looks like they have combos now. All of it is hooked up to Alexa. So I can say "Alexa Let's Play Darts" and the board lights up, turns on, and the laser appears.
Here are some pics of the laser line with the arena light off and on. The white crap on the floor is a ceiling mounted curtain track I still need to install....
I do like that! Definitely going to look into getting one and getting rid of the painter’s tape.
It would be nice if the line was a little brighter, maybe its more apparent in person.
In addition to the new (4 1/4") "Matchroom used" Diamond and light, I also got my Megatouch MAXX bartop game working today! No picture yet, as I need to put the hard drive back jn a d secure it, but wifey will be so happy when she gets back from the U.S. on Wednesday... That game was the one thing that kept her in the gameroom with me while I practiced.

My room doesn't really compare to some of the photos I have seen in here, which are absolutely awesome. I got to say great job to many of you who posted in here, I am a bit envious. Just the same, I am very much satisfied with my Brunswick Hawthorne 8-ft pool table. In the photo, if you notice on the left side towards the back of my basement, is reloading Central, where I reload ammo for my other passion, which is pistol and rifle shooting. Have a great day!

There are some nice rooms in the pics! My vision is to have some comfy furniture, big TV, some stools for sitting near the table, small bar, dart boards and all sorts of pool/sports etc related stuff on the walls. I'm doing carpet runners around the table and want a lounge atmosphere in the room
So just a quick history. I’ve had a pool table at my last 3 houses before this. Always shoved in a basement or 3rd floor. My last home I actually had a nice first floor pool room lol during covid we down sized and since i got a new job and everything was shut down I thought after 30 years I was done with pool. i would goto the club and hit them now and then and that was it… until a friend gave me an olhausen 
I put it out in my garage for the hell of it. Then a friend asked me to play leagues again and after one night I was fully back lol realized every bar had changed to diamonds. since I have wanted one since the first time I played at the expo and i now could easily get one in my garage and at this stage in my life 7 grand isn’t anything to me so I’m finally getting my diamond. This garage you could barely walk into because of storage and it didn’t take long to clean it out when I had a good reason lol
-I’m going to paint this winter for sure ‘
-my old pool chairs I’m going to re upholster.
-if your wondering why I still have that old pool light well it’s been with me for 30 years since my first pool table. It doesn’t feel right not to have it.
I know compared to some of these beautiful spaces it’s not much but it’s my place of peace. a pool player is never done with pool. It owns us forever. .

Your constant cursing and amazing ability to continually say, 'how did that not go in?' aren't enough?!
