Compton slab garage to games room

Post by davek0974 »

Just finished my garage conversion, its now a comfortable games room instead of a filthy metalwork home-business, we have a pool table on the way :)

Walls were battened, insulated and panelled with 12mm ply, floor is insulated and floating 18mm damp-proof chipboard, ceiling is insulated and 12mm ply panelled.

LOL, it was a fun-cave but my knees have had enough so it was time to retire ;)

Nah, sorry all the equipment was sold off.

That looks brilliant. In both pics to be fair! Nice job of repurposing the space. What table have you gone for?

Thanks, I ordered a refurbed 7x4 full size (UK) table in mahogany from a place called Sherlock Amusements

Half the price of a new one and 10x faster delivery, new tables were looking at February/March !

Thanks, we have had some good fun in there over the Christmas lockdown :)

Certainly beats watching TV all the time
