Re: Finally
 

A classic flick. Add animal house, stripes and caddy shack and you have most of my one liners.

Re: Finally
 

Granite guys were there today.

Re: Finally
 

Smoke room is coming along. They put the paneling up and almost finished the crown.

Re: Finally
 

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

Re: Finally
 

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.

Re: Finally
 

Things are moving along.

Installed the bar counter top and sink.

Painter comes to stain and finish all the woodwork on Monday. Figure by Friday the smoke room is almost ready to decorate.

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.

The cigar Gods are smiling............BIG TIME. That is the stuff dreams are made of. I am glad yours came true (I am guessing with a lot of hard work). Awesome.

Re: Finally
 

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.

Fridge and icemaker next week. Install the TV, decorate and we are up and running. Been a long 6 months.

Re: Finally
 

Are you gonna have personalized beer mugs for the regulars, Dave?

Re: Finally
 

Sharpie on a string for their red plastic cups!

Re: Finally
 

Sexy!!!
What about a Klugs Gold Club Card?

Re: Finally
 

Long slow month...

Smoke room is basically done. I have some electronics to deal with but the tv works. Waiting on the last chair of the set. Threw some old tables in for now need to order corner and coffee tables. Cohiba yellow on ceiling. :)

Re: Finally
 

Magnificent!

Re: Finally
 

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

Re: Finally
 

Re: Finally
 

Yes, you magnificent bastard! :banger

Re: Finally
 

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

Re: Finally
 

Amazing! :tu

Re: Finally
 

Simply awesome!

Re: Finally
 

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.

Re: Finally
 

KL wines is great:)

Re: Finally
 

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.

Re: Finally
 

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

Re: Finally
 

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: Finally
 

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.

Re: Finally
 

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.

Re: Finally
 

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

Re: Finally
 

Space constrained but working on it.

Re: Finally
 

Dave coming together very nicely!!!!

Re: Finally
 

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. :)
