Basement~~~~~>into a Bar/HT/Game room. - Page 2

It is about 7ft. I have found that the person that sits in the chair closest to the angle in the bar tends to scoot over to the angled part.

you gotta get over here and play with my screen paint.

I need to get Digital Cable TV or a sat dish. I have heard that sat dishes and snow don't mix well.

Fridge is a Haier. Bought it at Target on sale a few months ago for something like $135. I wish it was a little bit bigger. But it does what it needs to do.

yea it isn't bad...I had to fab up a platform for it to sit on so it would work under the counter top. I just finished off the bottom with some trip yesterday. Looks better

As long as there is alcohol...you could serve it on a folding table and it would be OK.

Well the "Best Buy" bug bit me. Scored a sweet deal on a LCD TV for the bar area.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1169512520871

Regular price is $479.99... It was on sale for $399.99. BUT they were outof them except for a open box one that was sitting on the shelf. They sold it to me for $319. I brought it home and the screen was STILL sealed in the plastic as if they never even fired it up!

Everything was still in the plastic. So I figure I got a KILLER deal.

Ordered a mount from Parts Express for $25.

I am running a HDMI line over to the wall outlet and I am going to have it hooked up two ways. One will be set to display whatever is playing on the main screen and whatever is running on the HD cable line. The other is to play regular analog cable tv.


Digital HD cable gets installed on Jan25th. Looking to have a opening party on Feb 9th.

There is some but not as bad as you would think. I know the right way to do it would be for black tiles. But that might look odd if it isn't a 100% dedicated space. I might experiment with a few ideas...stay tuned.

Form=Function

Few updated ones of the stuff on the walls...

That was a broken synergy stick that I used. I got it caught onder the opening where the zamboni comes out and broke the blade! I have 2 other ones that I use. I think all these high priced sticks are a WASTE of $$$. I believe they are now in the $200+ range.

I still play hockey and the big difference between a $300 stick and a $75 stick is $225 bucks.

Old time hockey...go wood!

I ran the HDMI second output from the Denon to the other TV. The only downside is that whatever I am watching on the main screen I also have to watch on the TV. HOWEVER I did run a separate Cable TV line to the TV on the wall so I could watch different sources on that one

As for a WRX rally car.... trust me I went out to my garage and looked at my 350Z and thought about doing a full motor build, twin turbo, all the goodies and I could top out at about 600WHP...but with cars you can only sell it for what the market is going to pay for it. I figure I will drive it for one more summer then decide what I want to do.

The thought of selling it for something a step up is always on my mind. Still looking for my 97 Viper GTS... That would be a car I would buy and keep forever. The Z is nice but there are too many "kids" these days with them.

It's a 04 with only 11k miles....

Yea I quickly realized I need to get more "updated" gear. Most of the stuff is from the 90's.

If I had more space in my basement I would have gone with a dedicated space. But I wanted to maximize the space. IMO...I used the space to its best capicity. The acoustics is the only drawback since my sides and rear channels are in the ceiling.

I will measure the ceilings.

Did you look into the LS2 swap into your Z? Hinson Motorsports is working on a kit to do just that!

Brian Hinson is still in the final stages of some of the electrical work. From what I have heard everything looks like it should work...a/c, cruise, etc.

OK the ceiling above the bar area is about 6"10 and the rest of the area ia 7"10...ish

I was concerned about it being too low over the bar but it really isn't that bad. It kinda add to the area since it is the same height across the area. I looked into framing the HVAC runs in this ara but I really wouln't have gained that much. The same area is where the gas and water line runs are.
