Default Took 2 months...

But the Lucky Sevens Bar is finally open for friends and family - this includes AF members who find their way into the Bakersfield area, of course... [8D]

Can actually say that with the exception of the wood floors, we designed, built and installed everything else. Wasn't easy nor is it perfect - but it's ours

lol... be careful what you wish for!

the wife and I sat down on New Year's day and wondered what our project for the 08 would be - new pool? spa? balcony off the master bedroom... ? all that stuff was too costly. So we decided to build a bar - but I said if we're going to do that I want the whole room to be a bar - not just some liqour bar in the corner of a rec-room.

Started getting serious about the project around the end of January. First off all the bars we looked at cost $4000 to $8000 depending on size and decor. So I researched and found some plans to online that were easily modifiable (cost $19.99 to enroll).

The final cost on the bar was $1465! Would have been about $200 cheaper but my beginning woodworking skills were sub-par then. So more wood was needed. lol

Maybe we can finagle a SoCal GTG up this way - going to install a 37" HD LCD in the corner.

Good Job. I finished my basement just in time for the season premiere of LOST and the Superbowl.

Lookin' good. If I had a spare room that I could turn into a game room, I would do the same thing.
