    The Pool Room

    In nine 14 hour days, my brother and I transformed a corner of my unfinished basement into a beautiful pool/snooker room. I've always wanted a table. Now I have one, a 9 X 5 Brunswick Heritage table. It's built like a tank. There's nothing like the sound of balls rolling across the table accompanied by the eventual sound of balls falling into the pockets.

    Great job Mike. Congrats... awesome work...
    If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.

    Thanks, guys. We had a lot of fun doing it. Today I'll install the table lights. Now if only I could find an appropriate neon light, I'd be golden. As for taking money from others, I hadn't thought of that ... well, maybe just a little.

    I've now installed the lights directly above the table. Perfect.
