Project Snooker Shed!

Sorry, its a bit difficult to explain without pictures.
If I hang the light at the only place I can ( one either side of the partition bit ) and set the table up underneath it, the table will be to close to the back wall, if I leave the lights and move the table away from the wall it would just look odd and possibly have a dark area. Does that make anymore sense, I'm not great at explaining stuff

Selling them because they won't fit in the partition bits in the roof, I wasn't expecting them to be there when we ordered the cabin, I measured it to see if I could do one either side of the partition but that would hamper cueing at the baulk end, table is now going in the middle with a new set of lights that should fit perfectly, sparky is round Monday so we'll see.... Fingers crossed

Sorry for being stupid but how can lights hamper cueing?

These are the lights I have for sale if anyone is interested.
Obviously I'd like as much as I can get as they haven't been out of the box but realise I've got to take a hit. I think 400 with the tubes is fair. What do you chaps in the know think?

Seems a fair price. Why are you selling Paz?

Hey chaps the snooker cabin is getting there, its built, just waiting for a window unit to arrive which didn't come when it should, then when it did arrive it was broken ( good ol fed ex) so now waiting for a replacement.
Electrics are going in on Monday and Tuesday next week and waiting for the aircon ppl to get back to me.
My bar should hopefully be here this week.
Carpet tiles arrive tomorrow and my new light arrived today... What a yarn that is
About a month ago after weighing everything up I decided to go for louvre lights from abc snooker, not sure how to put the link in, but they are the 6ft units at 450 quid... All good I thought, until they built the cabin that is. To help support the roof there are 2 partition walls which means there isnt a 12 ft length to be able to hang them and I can't put one either side of a partition because I won't have enough room to cue properly so if anyone out there wants a set of lights please let me know, they are brand new never been out of the box. As it turned out we had to have a rethink as to where everything was going to go and it's actually worked out better for us, the lights we bought are the ones where you have 6 green shades off a brass bar and now the table will be in the centre of the room, hopefully have pics of it finished in the next few weeks.

What a great table to have, a real tournament table with history!

Sorry Steve forgot to say about the table, all I can tell you is that it's the table they played the tolly cobbold classic on in 1981, ( a pro invitational tournament) Alex Higgins, kirk Stevens, Graham Miles and Cliff Thorburn all played that year, I reached out to Geoff large as there is no name on it, he seems to think it was made in a joinery shop in Manchester and sold by daymoat or master billiards of Leeds. I love the local history / professional connection so to be honest I'm not really fussed who made it, if it's good enough to them it's good enough for me lol I've got 2 old photos taken that night by the gentleman I bought the table off and if you look close you can see it's same table, I'll pop them on here so you can see but pictures are quite small and old so not sure how much detail you will be able to see

Mikee, I'm on tender hooks here what was the price around? I need to know lol
The cabin came from Keops log cabins, I've heard good things from people who have them, good quality apparently but only time will tell I guess. As far as I know it's all bespoke, you tell them what size you want via a quotation form and they give you a price, most companies we looked at didn't go upto 10m off the shelf. We are up to about head height today, should be finished Wednesday... Then the painting begins, inside and out with wood preservative, then another 2 coats outside with a waterproof wood treatment, keep telling myself it's all going to be worth it in the end...

That's a big cabin for a flat pack( don't know the right term) was that off the shelf so to speak or specially made. That's not far off the size we built and that's big! You will certainly have loads of room . We have six feet all around the table and loads of room for a three seater and two seater ,fridge , tea coffe , kettle, microwave etc.

OK, OK…. Show off!!
