Looks great Jon! Thanks for posting pictures.

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Got a chance to do some more work in the lounge finally.

Started by centering the support brackets on the shelf, they were driving me crazy by off centered:

Then I started staining the shelf. I took the idiotic way for a while, trying to tape off the shelf and carefully stain. This was exceptionally time consuming and stupid of me.

Got frustrated with that and just removed the second half of the shelf and stained it outside....took about 5 min, whereas the first half took me over an hour.

Finished staining

Then I had to decorate a bit! Put up all the custom labels I've made so far up.

This Is def cool. I'll continue to follow this. Keep up the good work!

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

looking great!

Decided not to wait for putting on paint after all....wanted that ugly hole in my wall to go away. That being said, I think this turned out to be the best spackle job I've ever done. Working on this room is really teaching me how to better work on things:

I also put up some shelves...I've been trying to use some random junk that I've bought over the years and never put up in the house, for whatever reason. I put this one, and a matching one up across the room:

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Looks like the two sets of most recent pics are missing... would love to see the progress as the first parts look great!!

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

All the photos that got deleted....sorry, created a photo album on my photobucket and didn't think of the ramifications. Follow the previous posting tag lines and pics will make sense.

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

its looking really nice!

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Looks awesome, now if I could just find somewhere at my house to convert....

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Where's my chair, Holmes?

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

You actually have to come to the house, and sit in the room, before you qualify for a chair. And to think....so much good beer to drink too.

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Sounds like that beats the hell outta standing on your driveway next to Matt's 400,000 BTU "Surface of the Sun" propane burner.

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Nice work so far

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Thanks. I haven't had an opportunity to do any work in here recently and it's driving me crazy. I guess I need to stop smoking cigars and making beer during all my free time and do some actual work here.

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Looking good.

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

You go, guy! Hope you can join us!

Looking great!

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Got some furniture in the room now...and I pretty much live here now. It's still not done...I haven't done the corner round yet or finished with the decorating. My kegerator is now sitting basically where I stood to take this photo so it's not visible. But that certainly adds to my happiness.

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

looks like an awesome spot to chill and have a smoke, thanks for sharing the progression with us!

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Wow. Call me jealous, that room looks fantastic.

So.. are you gonna leave the room that bright yellow?

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

It's not nearly as yellow as this pic makes it seem....bad lighting I guess. I picked the color, so I guess at this point I'm stuck with it.

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Looks great Jon! I'm sure you will have be enjoying/breaking it in.

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Great Man Cave brother!!!

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

This looks great, man! Big congrats on the room. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to adjourn to my uninsulated, no a/c cluttered garage...

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Hah. Yeah, I heard that. Once I paint, that room is gonna be that color forever. I hate painting!

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Agreed....one of my least favorite things to do....ever!

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Thanks everybody....it's been a great project and I've loved doing it all myself.

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Can you come build me one LOL. Great job

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Hey Jon,
How's the ventilation work in the room when you have a couple guys smoking cigars? Im trying to turn my porch into a smoking room and need to figure out how to get the smoke out. Whats the unit in front of the window?
Thanks.
Tim

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Ventilation works quite well with 2-3 people smoking...that's the most I've had in there smoking at one time. When I crank it all the way up, it moves a lot of air. The unit in front of the window is my AC/heater unit. Works quite well.

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

I am still blown away by how inspiring it was reading through this thread. Makes me want to do something similar. Alas, I'm not too much of a handy craftsman. One day.. One day.. :-p

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

Good to here, I am thinking of getting the unit you linked (which I am assuming is the one your using) How is the sound level with it?

Re: Creating my Smoking Lounge!
 

The lady and i are planning a house right now. Good news. I get a smoking lounge. Bad news its about 5 years away....
