That looks unbelievable...what a transformation.

You have some mighty exceptional talent, and your bar...almost makes me want to take up drinking again!!

I'm my biggest critic, and I'm pretty happy with it...however, you can tell it wasn't done by a professional. It doesn't show as much in the pictures, and probably people that come over don't really notice either...but I know some of the things are there

I'm just a "kid" in my first house...trying to make it look better. Everything I've learned has been from improvising with this house. It's leaps and bounds ahead of where it was when I bought it 4 years ago. Downstairs/Upstairs/Outside....it's been quite a project.

Wow looks great!! No problems with balls hitting the display behind the ping pong table?

Nope, that's the first thing just about everybody says. We've had some pretty heated ping pong matches down here, and nothing even close to a casualty yet. BTW, that's my wife's shot glass collection on the shelves there. The can lights above are on a dedicated dimmer switch.

I have a tough time staying motivated, so it took me probably 3 months to do it all, but with my time off in the winters I could have finished it much quicker.

I built the poker table as well. Padded playing surface with suede stretched over it, and a padded arm rest all the way around with marine vinyl stretch around that.

That is awesome!

I just went back through this whole thread. It was a lot of fun posting while building. I'm a little said that I dropped the ball on updating this while doing the rest of the basement. Although, I spent so much time doing the rest of the project (finished it all in 1 month), that I really didn't post much anywhere. I do have some progress pics of the whole basement if anyone wants to see them though.

Now I'm just waiting for General Lee to see the updated pics...been around the thread since the beginning.

Just sitting at the bar having a beer...thought I'd bump.

From one who can barely hammer a nail in straight, I am in total awe of EVERYTHING you have done!
