Nice documented build as usual.

I still need to get on with my MAME project. Leaning to a portable table version. Need to look at that Arcade forum for ideas.

Appreciate the offer. I live in Lilburn which is about 30 minutes from Marietta. Yours and Bud's builds have already been a tremendous help and source of inspiration. If you and Bud or anyone else from ATL get together again anytime, keep me in mind. Now that the holidays are over I am back full steam to finish the Corkstreet Hill theater. If you get the chance sometime check out the build thread.

...now with link in signature...sorry 'bout that.

Jason,
What a fun read. Just spent the past few days going through your thread in my spare time. I'm over in Sandy Springs, so it was nice to see how you did things, and also find out about availability for stuff in Atlanta. I plan on starting my theater sometime later this year, so I'm 100% in planning mode. Gotta get the financial committee to agree to let me proceed before any actual work starts. She did let me build a wine cellar though, which I just finished up!

Have been trying to learn sketch up and just getting my head wrapped around all I want to do down there. Considering it took me 4 months to build the wine cellar, I'd guess the basement should take me, ohhh, friggin' FOREVER! ;-) OCD is my enemy...

Need to take some finished pics.. these don't have the base or crown. I didn't build the racks (like some other enterprising fellas), but I did build the cabinets below, as well as everything else about the room.

Thanks! It was a tough build for me as every dollar I sunk into the cellar meant I couldn't buy that much wine. It was certainly an experience along the way, with my original rack manufacturer going out of business after they took my money for racks! Thank God for chargebacks... My cellar took a big hit over the holidays, THEN we were locked up in the house during the ice storm, so it took another hit. I was able to leave the house on the Tuesday after the storm, but my wife was home for the entire week, till Sunday! At some point you will start accumulating more than you drink!

That's pretty cool y'all actually started up a business together. I read that Bud moved away in another Georgia thread. I'll definitely be doing the work myself, as I'm insanely handy around the house. That, and my workshop is begging for the next project (which will more than likely be an outdoor kitchen on my deck)...

The masking kit sounds interesting. I'm thinking I'm going to do CIH and use the somfy motors as well.

Haven't moved away quite yet, my commute is just a little longer for the next few months!

Great job on the wine cellar. Where the hell were you guys when I lived in Atlanta?!!?

Anyways, how big is your cellar? We drink a ton of wine and have been thinking about adding a cellar of some sort down the road to our next house. I'm guessing you could work one in a fairly small space?

Thanks. It's about 1000 individual and about 300 case (along the bottom). Not quite there yet, but I certainly got to a point somewhere along the line where I was buying more than I was drinking...

Uploaded a video of the "mostly" finished version. Still need to hook up the condensate pump and build the doors for the cabinets at the bottom. Of course I shot it on my phone and should have turned the phone sideways. Oh well.

Cool video. Sorry, I meant the dimensions of the room. Looks like maybe 10x6 or so??

Sorry, I was posting the video from before since the pics weren't of the completed version. Cellar is ~9'x5.5'

In my previous house my cellar was entirely under some stairs, and I could fit about 450 bottles in there.

Wine cellar looks awesome. Still trying to figure out if I can fit one in my build somewhere. Looking forward to seeing your build thread as well.
