psg Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Nice! What's the specific product you are using the the brick wall? I like it a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 I'll take a pic of one of the box labels and post it. It's just a slate tile though. I still want to put a sealer on it just to make it shine. It doesn't "need" to be sealed. It's just a look I'm going for. here ya go, got them at grossman's. $5.79 each. They are 6 inch x 24 inch slate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage_Head Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 So you opened up the whole basement? Or are the rooms still separate? Everything looks really nice dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 the HT is seperate. the rest is all one space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Looks really nice. I wish I was handy like that. Just painting, running wires behind the walls and doing dry wall patch work was pushing it for me lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 So here is the rest of the space. If your facing away from the bar and looking at the 46 inch TV on the stone covered wall this area would be on the left. Mostly going to be the wife's area and she wanted it to be white. There is a drop ceiling going in on that side because we just have too many pipes and things in the ceiling we need access to. The glass door is an exit through the bulkhead. Kind of a crappy space because there are 5 doors in it and the ceiling is low. 2 closets (1 with double doors), the exit, and a bathroom. The only thing that is really going to tie these two areas together will be the flooring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Most of what I actually did was easy. Time consuming but fairly simple. I framed out the bar and installed the cabinets, Painted (crappy job cause I hate painting), Tiled, ran wires, stained, and re routed AC/Heat ducts. Had the pro's do the wall framing, electrical and plumbing. Contractor's will be doing the counters and flooring as well. Fellow forum member "Brunt" helped alot with some of the wet work. He owns a sister bar called "The Rebound". I assist him with some electrical and he helped out with the heavy lifting. I'll try to get him to post some pics of his bar. He pretty much built it by hand from the ground up alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (Maybe you said already) What are you putting down on the floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Im doing a product called "Nature Stone". Basically small pebbles in a mix of resin. Google nature stone if your curious. Perfect for basement application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathos Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Any updates on the room? I like the stone product you are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Alot of work has been going on. Floors are down, plumber is done, trim is painted/stained, and the electrician is coming Friday to finish. I'll update with pics soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 ok... so I have another update. I still have numerous things to do like drywall patching, paint touch ups, finish the drop ceiling (just a small part of it), more decorating, make a sign, and install the sub(s). But all the things I was counting on contractors to do are done. So here are a few pics. I'll ask my wife to take some quality shots with her 5100 soon but for now you get my iphone. a couple shots of the floor from last week. now some of these shots are more up to date then others so don't let that confuse you. The floor is a product called Nature Stone. It's just small pebble mixed in a 2 part epoxy and spread on like concrete with a trowl. It gets up to 6500 psi, has air pockets that add an R value to it, and lets the concrete below breath. We even did the basement stairs with it. It's also fairly shiny and looks great.

JasonJCarney Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Here's the bathroom, the THT (which I traded BTW), and a portion of the "wifes" area. So I actually traded the THTto a friend for 2 reasons. My wife hated it and did not want it taking up space on "her" side of the basement, and my firend has been searching for a big sub to go with his RF82 setup for a while now. I decide dto kill 2 birds with 1 stone and make the switch. I got a bunch of bar items for it like glases, stools, and the rockstar fridge.

JasonJCarney Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Now we have the most important part... the bar! Not sure about the Rockstar fridge's placement but it's there for now. Today I picked up 2 Lava subs that will be going under the sink area. I'm taking a chance on them so we'll see how they sound. They don't have to be awesome just be able to give my little Klipsch sats a bit of punch. If they suck I can always take advantage of the 30 day trial period and return them.

JasonJCarney Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Now some shots of the entertainment. I'll be watching TV and sporting events only in here. Movies are for the projector. So the sound was not as important to me in here. remember I still have paint touch ups to do so I apoligize for the white spots on the walls. For some reason it's not letting me post the other speakers. Ill repost them later Here is the AVR and the cable boxes. For now Im using my Onkyo 509. I was gonna use the Pioneer 1121 but decided against it for 2 reasons. 1. it gets very hot and there is not much space for it to breath where it has be located. 2. The depth made it difficult to fit all the cables I have under there. The Onkyo is about 3 inches less deep and with 2 cable boxes, an apple TV, 6 speakers, a sub cable, 2 fridge wires, and the power strip there is just not much room under there. Im debating on getting a newer Onkyo or a marantz slimline AVR for the bar and moving the 509 back to the livingroom but time will tell.

JasonJCarney Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Couple more shots. Here are the heaters...They are basically electric fireplaces with LED lighting, fire crackling sound, and each has a 1500 watt heater that can be turned on for winter use. The first 2 pics are of the unit in the wife's side, and the 2nd two pics are on the bar side. now bar side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Going through thepics I realize just how crappy the quality is. I promise to get better shots up in the future with my wife's camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
