I have these pictures posted on my Facebook, but I don't think many people here have access to view them. So, here they all are.
My blank slate.
The frame of the bar and some of the panels added.
Panels have been added and now need to be varnished.
Finished under-counter shelves.
Installed mini-fridge.
First filling of the mini-fridge.
Initial stocking of the bar.
After adding new bar equipment.
Testing of new under-counter "cool white" LED ropelights.
Black light added to beneath bar counter.
Replaced old water dispenser with a new one with a wine cooler beneath it.
Finally painted the ugly white walls with a sweet new charcoal color.
Lit booze shelf under construction. Front must still be painted color of wall, silicone to be added beneath shelf to get rid of visible light in the front, orange ropelights must be switched with "cool white" LED ropelights, rest of paper backing and glue must be removed from back shelf and then it needs to be "frosted".

all you need now is a loud ass stereo system with two huge 15 inch, 2000 watt sub woofers
I've got all the speakers for that, all I really need is a really good subwoofer. A year ago I bought a really cheap 500 Watt (maybe 250, I forget) 12" subwoofer ...

I'm more impressed with the craftsmanship and how nice it all looks than the alcohol. You can find alcohol everywhere. You can not find sweet homemade bars everywhere.

i showed my roomies and they almost shit themselves.
we have a perfect set up where we could install one here in the basement.
we just finished cleaning up a bunch of stuff, so nothing is really organized, so ignore the mess.

Yeah, it's really hard to keep the stuff that we drink more often in stock. What we use up way faster than anything else is Carolans, Long Island Iced Tea Mix, Grey Goose Vodka, Silent Sam Vodka, Absolut Vodka, and Redrum. So, I've started to keep one of each of those bottles in stock and then 4 extras for when ...

Shank, if you thin kthat you'll be living in that house for a number of years you should seriously consider building a bar, they are goddamn awesome. The storage room is excellent also. I really think that my grandma is going to sell me her house for a good deal when she eventually moves out, although that may be years ...

You should make a TV show. Well. Not really for the TV. But for the interwebz. Of you building things. I'm sure lots of people would find that interesting, and they could possibly pay you moneys. For things of some sort.
For some reason, all of my ideas involve enterprise. I should just stop.

I'm usually not productive. I sit at home after work, drink, watch movies, and play video games. But, if there's something that I want to get done I put all my focus into it and get it done fast.
That would be damned sweet if I got paid for this kind of shit that I'd end up ...

Heh. You could have the Build-a-Bar enterprise. Like the Build-a-Bear one. Just different. :| (I believe the differences are self-explanatory.)

I made a build-a-bear monkey for Kaela.
It cost way, way too much for being a stupid stuffed animal.

See. Now girlfriends can go to Build-a-Bar, and get them for their boyfriends. It would be the male equivalent to a stuffed animal.

Basements are by far the best part of a house.

Yeah, it's pointless to put money into a house if you rent. And then you can't have any fun.
