Basement Billiard Room in Progress
Hi All. I am new to the forum, and wanted to start a page to show the progress on what will be my billiard room in the future.
The project slowed recently, but I thought you would appreciate a before picture. This was done all in the name of removing ALL obstructions. A goal which could be appreciated by those on this forum I'm sure!
Now I realized I can fit a 9' pool table into this space. Woo hoo! I am selling my 8 footer now!
These first pictures show the original state of the basement, and the installation of a steel beam, etc. so I could remove walls. Also, if you visit the site listed below, I wrote about everything we did in this first set of photos.

Good luck! I am glad to hear that you were able to fit the 9' pool table in your space. I'm sure you will like that a lot better.

I just finished my sub floor. Finally! It has been a long time. I know, don't ask, LOL! The concrete grinding and leveling was a pain in the a$$.
I will be opening my finest beer (V-12, yup 12%! and it's corked) to celebrate this milestone. Now I just have to get that air gun popping and make it look like something down there! I am hoping to complete it this summer. I can't wait to post up some pics... someday.
Here are a couple new pictures. The pool room is still nothing special but it is heading in the right direction. The Tyroc sub-floor is down and some wood is going up.
The future pool table area:
I had to get a little creative around this pole and the channel iron and top plates. The 2x4 isn't really correct but doing the corner this way saves a precious 2" (1 1/2" instead of 3 1/2") at the pole spot and blends with the beam box out which was turned flat to also keep it smaller. I got a top piece in that return too, so it's solid.
The goal is to maximize space for sure. I guess it is time to get rid of the old wiring and get the new wiring run! Sure is getting crowded in the unfinished area!

Nice setup overall. I think it would be best if you focus on all the individual furniture placement - that way the entire room won't look congested.

Nice room. Looks great. I hope to see how it finally turns out.

Great job!
Well, it has been a while. The bar tonight, like most nights, is taking a front seat, but the Diamond pool table is very nice and ready for EARL haha.
We did manage a Super Bowl party. We are still working on the bathroom and on putting pictures on the wall and stuff. I have been working overtime at work lately and slacking a little on the project. But it is nice not to need a short stick anymore! I STILL NEED THE 3! LOL
Here are a few more photos of the bar and pool table area:
The other pool "distraction" is the home theater area. But really, the fact that we have a 9 foot area with NO obstructions is the best feature. Better late than never. Too many HopDevil's I guess! (HopDevil is a Downingtown, PA beer)
Diamond Paragon! Waited for years and it is finally here! I still need the 3!
Except vs. the Wife, LOL. Got a Diamond Paragon "Pro" table, Aramith "Pro" balls, and Pro cloth. Now I just need those "Pro" skills, LOL.
Good Shootin' to all! Except vs. the wife! LOL

Sweet! I love the ceiling tiles too! It looks like your speakers need some grills though.
