I'm still a few weeks or so away from getting my 9ft delivered/installed and decorating the "Poolroom" as the wife is calling it. I got the builder to build up under the floor sheathing where the legs will be sitting so it'll be solid. I measured 6ft from the end rail and side rail so plenty of room and a ton of room from the other 2 rails. A 30ft beam spans the room so there's no posts and went with 9ft ceilings. The area is over 1K sq feet and lots of room to host a party.
 
I've previously shown my room in here. Room is done up in Hustler/60's pool hall theme. But it took me 4 years to find a bottle of JTS Brown bourbon. A friend gifted two bottles. Still not sure where he found them.

Nice touch!
 
Great taste in video games too! I have a joust and a joust 2 cab.
The Joust on the left is a JROK FPGA multi Williams setup. (Look into it if you don't know. https://www.arcadeshop.com/i/1121/williams-multigame-jamma-pcb.htm) Plays perfect. Joust hanging on the wall is a custom build by myself that had the JROK in it, but now has a Pandora 10th anniversary board (5000+ games) and the Robotron is all original, but has a ram error at the moment that I needed to fix. Then a 96-in-1 Pacman kit on the cocktail. (plugs into a real board, not emulation). Next, mint Tempest in mostly working order. And lastly a skinny vertical cab with Pandora KOF 412-in-1 vertical games only board. And there is a 60-in-1 in the garage that I'll likely sell. Plus an Attack from Mars 1up pinball in the opposite corner.

I have one of the JROK boards from when he first made them years ago! I waited with baited breath on an arcade forum for them to release. I used it in the Joust cab until it could be repaired. ATM Joust is in working order with original components. JROK made a great board. I want to put it in something in the future. Joust 2 needs new headers put on the boards. The old style were/are the round ones and they have a tendency to lose contact, which makes it so you must wiggle every connector before it will boot up. I also have a sit down candy cab (New Astro City) with various SHMUP games in it. It usually is populated with Raiden DX. I also have a Neo Geo that I consolized myself. It uses one of those 161 in 1 multi carts.

There's a thing called Mister FPGA that's a really neat setup, everything from old computers, video game systems, arcade boards all done in FPGA "magic." It takes a bit of tinkering to set up, but it's well documented and not super difficult, just takes a bit of time. You can even output analog or digital and they even make a jamma connector adapter for it! Anyways... these old arcade games are a pretty fun hobby. :)
 
The garage, I mean billiard parlor is coming along.
Behind the painting of Fats is a dart board. My father & I made that cabinet in 1990.
The curtains are a great way to hide storage, lawn chairs, ladder, brooms, etc.
I can even open the doors if necessary without removing the curtains.

Moving this over the the correct thread:

So, after 7 years of playing on my 9 foot Diamond Pro-Am (single slate) in my garage, I bought a new house big enough to bring it inside. The challenge was that the billiard room needs to be in the basement. :(. I called around and found a guy who would do it and he had great reviews. Juan Manuel at Pool Table Service DMV (Northern VA area) brought his crew in, disassembled and loaded up, drove about 2 miles to my new pad and had it installed in the basement and perfectly leveled in under 2 hours!

They showed up with no custom jacks or dollies, no winches, just strong backs. It was tough to watch...they slid the box and then the single piece slate down those furniture pads! No problem, no damage, they put it all back together and level without a blemish. It took the Diamond guys 3 hours to install it in my garage, these guys moved it and reinstalled it in under 2 hours. I highly recommend them.

Now I gotta figure out how I'm going to decorate this thing...starting with wall shelves, cue holders and spectator chairs. Then I'll see what wall art, etc.

They used to sell it in the Class VI store on many bases...I haven't seen it in a while, but it wasn't that long ago.
 
Okay, almost done...installed some wall art and a couple of floating pub shelves. A La-Z-Boy, a tv, floor light. Spectator chairs will come, but down the road. It sure beats the garage! :)
