Buying a Pool Table

I think it's amusing that you find it funny.
I find it amusing that you're so embarrassed by it you made up a story to deflect.

Kind of like the Dinky Diana debacle. One thing about your side is you cant ever admit you're wrong, or ever made a mistake.

You're all alike like that.
 
The table we ordered:

So when moving a bunch of stuff out of about 300 square feet of floor space (to make room for a pool table), it is necessary to find space for it.

So we are making some changes to other areas of our house....

I will detail some of the changes we are making over the next little while because I am sure you are interested.

My office is going to be converted into an office with a jamming space for 2-3 people. SO I need to clear some stuff out of my office.

I have moved a shelving unit from my office down to the furnace room. It is heavy-duty and will be used to store a bunch of tools.
 
So I currently have one of those big U-shaped desk units in my office. I am going to clean it out and sell it or give it away and put my work computer on the little desk that I am using for the computer down in my current jamming space where the pool table is going to be. That will make more room for jamming in my office.

So....

U-shaped desk is out

Small desk is going from basement to office

Jamming space computer - no decision has been made on what I am doing with it


More details on the reorganization coming soon.
 
I just farted under the covers and I think there was a touch of follow through. I'll keep you posted, Prowler.
 

With full bands I have been jamming at other people's houses lately.

My wife does not want the loud noise any more.

So time for the drum kit to go.

It was fun while it lasted.

I am going to use another room for my duet practice sessions. That is where all my guitars and guitar stuff is headed.

4:00 minutes in John Stamos wife comes in and says something to the effect of I don't know how you're still holding drumsticks. I.e. too loud...

Sickness & health. That's how. Well I knew you crashed a drum but not for more than a minute? C'mon babe. Just because I blow my load early because you feel so damned good doesn't mean I can't do this all day long Cap'n America style.

The picking & choosing of battles.

It is not a battle.

There are a number of factors.

When we have company over, very rarely does anyone want to bang on the drums. But people like playing pool.

And now that more of our friends are starting to retire, we have company more often.

We also always planned on getting a pool table. When the house was built, we extended about 2/3 of the back wall to make the kitchen bigger, but also knowing it would allow us to have a nice spot for a pool table in the basement.

When I finished the basement, I ran electrical wires from one of the receptacles to where the pool table light will be. I just have to connect the wires behind the receptacle plate and the wires for the light will be live.

This has all been part of the plan for a long time.

Thank you for showing an interest.
 
It might be getting close. The owner of the pool table store told me he might be getting the table by the end of this week.

I have not had any decent offers on my drum kit, so I have put the drum kit in a closet to make room for the pool table.

I am planning to take a bunch of old computer stuff to a retro gaming place tomorrow to clear out some room in my office.

My wife moved my guitar amps over near the TV in the basement.

I moved my PA equipment into the same closet as the drums.

I have a bunch of miscellaneous cables that I have to sort out. I might go do that right now.
 
The pool table has arrived at the store. They asked if they could install it tomorrow (Tuesday) but we said we are not sure if we will be ready.

So the area is clear. But the carpet has some wrinkles.

We are going to rent a tool to try to get the wrinkles out. It is reserved for 2pm today. So about 25 minutes from now. My wife is going to leave to pick it up soon.

I have calls out to several carpet installers, but the fucktards are not returning my call. So fuck it. We are going to try to do it ourselves.

It is a bit more work than expected so far, because the baseboards had to come off. I will go take a picture of what to looks like right now.
 
So this is the area cleared out, with the baseboards off. The carpet has been lifted off the tack strips at the walls.

You can see the dog toys. We have the big open area clear, so our dog ripped around and we played with him for a while last night.

Darts is great for hunting small fowl and mammals...

I used to play darts a lot back when I was a stripper in New Orleans.

I normally didnt make actual friends with other strippers(by friends I mean people I talked to and spent time with outside of the club, I got along great with every one but i didnt make FRIENDS) but there was this one who i swear was my soul mate. Her stage name was Dusty. She would come to NOLA Penthouse club seasonally. She lived in Baltimore. Owned some properties in Maryland that she rented out. She looked JUST LIKE if Jessica Rabbit was a real human, and she would play that up perfectly. She was one of the best people I met down there.

And we would have "stripper date nights" and cut out of Penthouse early, go to one of the corner pubs off Bourbon, eat greasy cheese burgers, drink the local brew Abida, play Tenascious Ds "fuck her gently" on the J Box all night and play darts.

She said I only beat her all the time because im a midwestern girl who hunts lol.

I came close to getting my nips pierced just because she wanted me too LOL

I watched a lot of videos on this and it doesnt look hard. Its work though.
