Finally

[Da Klugs]

Sam has been nice about letting me leave my cigars at the office... but.

Construction (demolition) started a couple weeks ago. Framing started this week for the cigar lounge and walk-in in the basement.

very nice, indeed!

[Da Klugs]

Wall between the smoke room and walk-in will have glass shelves (each side of tv) that you can see inside the walk in thru.

Looks great and don’t kid yourself it’s a trap to keep you around the office! Do the shorts get their own shelf?

[LasciviousXXX]

Fantastic!

[Da Klugs]

Do the shorts get their own shelf?


To funny just bought 2 50 cabs of shorts. (For Sam when he inevitably runs out)

Going to build an "in case of emergency" box and leave it at the office when I finally move the cigars out.

[Da Klugs]

From inside the walk-in the wall abutting the smoke room.

left top and right top will be glass shelves inside humi, glass front into smoke room for "pretties".

Center top is tv area which will have storage on the humi side.

Bottom 4 openings will be pull out drawers on the smoke room side for singles and open box access without having to walk out and into the humi.

http://imageshack.com/a/img924/6161/BZgSm6.jpg

Still have to pick out flooring and a million other little details.

[Ashcan Bill]

The pull out drawers are a great idea. Looking forward to seeing the finished project in a couple months. :tu

[icehog3]

This is going to be epic......

[markem]

Very nice! When do you plan your first sleep-over? :tu

[EricF]

Pretty awesome Dave!

[Porch Dweller]

That's going to be a great place!

Waiting for my invitation.

[longknocker]

Awesome!:D:tu

[Don Fernando]

[DBall]

Awesome... I love the singles/open box area especially!

[tsolomon]

Very nice, now all you need is a place for the food trucks to pull up and park.

[elderboy02]

This is going to be phenomenal. I can't wait to see the finished product! :tu

[Da Klugs]

Finally doing this has a side effect...

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/922/G3pNWU.jpg


Started buying cigars again.

Worried that the room will look empty once I move everything in. Probably and unfounded fear but WTF you can't really ever have too many cigars. :)

No, no you can not have too many cigars, kind of hoping you found another box of the Cohiba 2008 Barber poles. :tu

[ArgusP2]

Wow! Looks epic!

[johnbljr]

Freakin' Amazing!

[croatan]

That's going to be great, Dave! Love the pull-through drawer idea.

[Havanaaddict]

It's about damn time :banger Now come to the Fall Classic and tell me all about it!!!:)
Congrats buddy :tu

[DrDubzz]

this thread should probably be pinned... *jealous*

[Dave128]

The plans look awesome. Can't wait to keep seeing the progress.

I'm jealous !! Just amazing

[nayslayer]

What are you using for cooling?

[Da Klugs]

Jane and I left for the shack today. Not coming back till Friday.

Picked the floor coverings last week (tile for humi and tile that looks like wood for SR).

The electrical is all roughed in and they installed the 4 fans on Tuesday. Today they started spraying the foam insulation so it was time to go.

Should get the final drawings from the cabinet maker for approval on Monday.

Drywall starts on Friday.

Janes out of town this coming weekend so I'll post some pics.

[elderboy02]

Great news! :tu

[icehog3]

Very Exciting! :tu

[Da Klugs]

Going to replace the stairs to the basement. When they opened up the wall there was space so we made a little cubby and put a light in it.

Gas mask storage for the girls?

http://imageshack.com/a/img923/7441/fyNQK9.jpg

[Da Klugs]

Ended up installing 3 - 400 cfm "whisper quiet fans. Limited space they had to fit in the rafters. Have room in the old widow for more but going to see how this works. Spread out over 5 or so feet seems to draw pretty well.

http://imageshack.com/a/img923/5678/S6tD58.jpg

[Da Klugs]

From inside the walk-in. All electrical is roughed in. Closed cell foam on walls and ceiling is cured and they put up the green-board next week.

[AdamJoshua]

“From inside the walk-in”. Yup I had to read that twice. :lr

[markem]

Cabinet and shelving design.

Double shelf is second shelf that pulls out another 16" to set boxes on as needed for digging.
Or more room to stack if necessary.

Getting exciting ! :D

[redman19]

I’m coming to camp out at your house...

[Da Klugs]

What are you using for cooling?

Good to see you!

It's in the basement. In the past basement has always been in the high 60's winter and summer. We insulated the heck out of it so I'm not sure what the future holds.

No HVAC ducts or returns in the Walk in. No returns in the smoke room.

Made a provision in the utility closet (Pic below) where the reverse osmosis system goes (low by the water and drain in pic) to be able to vent and drain an AC unit if required. Humidification device is inside the walk in in the corner - Rev osmosis system is in this closet, water piped thru the wall to the humidifier. Going to have a shelf half way up in the closet where the ac unit would go if needed with ducting out into the corner shelving area of the walk in.

Happy with how the little cubby on the stairs is turning out.

Taking forever but things are starting to move a bit ...

Ceiling and tile in the walk in are done and the shelving units started going in today.

Hey my coolers were provided by the Costco company - they're real and they're spectacular. Plus I love Costco, If they sold Cubans I'd never have to shop anywhere else.

Hey anyone need a bunch of coolers in say late February? :)

It's always confused me that folks build "walk in's" but once you are in there is no room to walk. So I guess this is a "walk around". Had the space, so like women and shoes (or guys with cigars) the challenge taken is to fill it up. :)

Hopefully past behavior will be sufficient to meet the challenge.

Contractor and I are having a chat tomorrow on the little things like end cabinets, over the window area shelves or not and the big issue - do we leave any vertical surface without wood? I'm thinking no painted surface exposed - he's thinking more work = more money. Won't be much of an argument but you always need to respect others opinions. :)

Dave - what kind of wood(s) are you using for the walk-in? Any insight into the decision making on the choice is appreciated.

[Da Klugs]

Good to see you. It's not for the lack of wood .. just the absence of fire to consume it. :)

HA!


Looking great there Klugs!

Thanks Dustin. How ya been?

Mahogany and cedar. Large surfaces are structural faced mahogany. Trim and shelves are cedar.

You may be disappointed. Just a plain door with a lock is the plan. Glass door with some kind of graphic for the smoke room though.

They made a little progress while we were in CHI.

[Da Klugs]

few updates

First of the 5 pull out sorting shelves is in.

https://imageshack.com/a/img924/1474/GqvvCW.jpg

Did some framing around windows and started the top edge they will ultimately put crown molding on.

https://imageshack.com/a/img922/7140/FL6ozQ.jpg

Mostly been messing with LED lighting strips they are having issues getting them to seat - ended up gluing them with clamps. There are over 1000 led lights around the cabinets in each of 3 colors. Mood lighting options I guess.

[elderboy02]

Looking great!

Just kidding this looks fantastic!
Please keep posting pics so I can show the wife what I want someday!

Getting to the home stretch. Finalized the granite for the walk in - changed my mind and went more traditional - "blue flower".

They set the island shell today. Lots of finish work and covering but the shell is there.

https://imageshack.com/a/img923/8106/8q4nvf.jpg

Leaving for a week tomorrow so no updates. Major remaining issue is to install the thru the wall cabinets to the smoke room. They are supposed to be in on Tuesday. The goal is for them to get the room buttoned up and humidified before I return next Saturday. 50/50 on that happening. The following week they install the countertops and we are off to the races on the walk in.....

Then on to the smoke room.

[icehog3]

It's going to be epic, Dave! :wo

[Da Klugs]

Was going into progress withdrawal so the contractor set some pics today.

Got all the singles drawers under the long counter installed.

Last thing they need to do before humidification is to install the thru the wall to smoke room cabinets - Thursday and they say it will be humidified on Friday. We will see.

I'ma bit surprised that you didn't do a stain with a bit of red in it, Dave.

It's redder in person. The kids room is very cherry stain plan. I wanted a contrast. Though a bit lighter might be nice. The "other things" planned for the smoke room are intended to be the focus vs the walls.

[Da Klugs]

Things are moving along.

Installed the bar counter top and sink.

Backsplash later this week, appliances are scheduled for Friday.

Grandkids play / study areas got installed Friday.

Few more weeks and maybe the contractor will finally be gone. :)

Stair Railings are this weeks project.

And maybe build some more singles drawers for the island.

More room than I needed for wine.. not enough for singles / loose CR.

[Da Klugs]

Painter was sick - showed up today. Painting stairwell and staining the cherry in the kids area today. Tomorrow/Friday the smoke room.

Granite guys installed the backsplash on the bar yesterday.

More room than I needed for wine..

Clearly you need more wine....like a lot more!!!!

[SMOKING CAMPER]

Yes, you magnificent bastard! :banger

[mk05]

I have a better idea on tables for you. I'll text you :P

Started to load up. Have 70 bottles upstairs that I'm not going to move. Go to Costco every weekend or so. Last Sunday bought 2 cases and put them in the island.

Figure it will take 200 bottles and will do it a case at a time moving forward - means 19 weeks till its filled up.

Any suggestions for online sources for good cabs? Costco has a handful of decent bottles but there has to be a better way.

Need some suggestions on where and what to buy in case / multi case quantities.

[Havanaaddict]

KL wines is great:)

[mk05]

I'll email you some places where I get wine from, but the best is to figure out what you like, then go on WineSearcher.com to find best source.

[shilala]

ABC is real close, Dave. Their prices are IN SANE!!!
They'll lead you down the right path, too.
Or call Lisa. She'll help.
I always bought her wine, but she knows what she's doin.
I'm sure she'd be happy to help. She likes you.

I can't for the life of me think where that ABC is right now. Might not even be ABC, but it's something like that.
Their selection and prices really are the best I ever found in Ohio.
It may be handy to, oh sh1t, I'll think on it. lol

Well you know what kind of wine I drink so it's hard for me to recommend a source for you. I assume the storage for the wines is not temp controlled so whatever you buy plan to drink in a couple years or sooner. One place you might want to consider is buying directly from mollydooker. They make some of the best shiraz in the world and the prices are very reasonable.

Re temperature it remains to be seen if I install a AC unit in the humi. If the tem gets above 65 (which it has not this winter) it goes in. The way we built it I'm thinking it will stay in the 63-65 range it has been in year round.

[Da Klugs]

Started hanging pictures. Bar end of room is getting there. Still need to get a table and chairs.

https://imageshack.com/a/img924/1336/A98dyO.jpg

Smoking side of room is still a work in progress. Ordered a Sonus system - to be installed in a couple weeks along with a wifi extender for each floor of rthe house. Couple more weeks on the chair. Still need to order end tables and coffee tables, using some old stuff that was in the basement for now.

When you say table and chairs, maybe it would be cool if it was one of those octagon Poker tables that a hard top can be put on:noon

Brought the Indian home from the Shack. Always creeped Jane out up there. Now it is yet another deterrent to visits to the smoke room. :)

Love the door...is it etched glass?

Yup. Crazy artsy fartsy guy spent way too much time on it but I think it came out great. Does leave a little peek into the room clear space but it's not like I'm a teenager trying to sneak a beer or smoke in there. :)

Pretty much done except for end tables. Old stuff I put there is kind of growing on me so maybe done. Been enjoying - probably to much the smoke room. :)

[elderboy02]

Nice! Have you thought about Halon for the room? I would hate if there was a fire because the water would destroy your collection.
