Exclusive Your next home upgrade.

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Planning to change from a queen sized bed into a king sized one. Probably gonna do the whole bedroom set thing. Been staying at hotels with King beds lately, and its so much better.

All about the Cali King but than again I'm over 6'

Get a California king. Got me a Stearns and Foster a couple years back. Was a pretty penny. But it’s amazing. I like more firm mattresses. I can sneak into bed late at night after gaming for a couple hours and my lady has no idea. I’ll have this mattress for 20 years easy

Well if it's a home upgrade you're speaking of, then it'll be a decorative fence for us. Having very active dogs and wide open spaces can sometimes be challenging.

Buy a great mattress with vibrating features first, then add as you lay/play in it.

I plan to take out the cheap laminate floor I installed in my breakfast room after the dishwasher flooded a few years ago. By my calculations, I still have enough insurance money left to do so. Home Depot features the Life Guard floor which is water resistant and durable. I just received the HD no interest if paid in 18 months circular. This time I'll have their immigrant contractors' install it with an dura rock underlayment included.

Sounds like a nice challenge. How about a dog obedience perimeter system? Your view is saved.

Check out if the furniture is made in North Carolina or cheap OSboard from a factory outside of this country. Don't consider the pictures; they are ugly dried fish. .

What gets measured gets done!
If you dont know where you're going you will end up somewhere else.

I'll put my measurement against yours or anyone else any day, any time. Oh wait, I think
wizenheimer was talking about fish.

Always bring a action figure when you rip lips!

That's smaller than the one I caught on a fly rod one time.

Just got a new roof put on last week. Put in down-payment for a painted. Taking down half a wall between the kitchen and living room. Converting shed in the backyard to an open covered seating area. Then buying a deck off of that. Probably a few other projects along the way that will keep me busy this spring.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Just re-did the master bathroom. Installed a tankless water heater. I hated it at first because the hot water was slow to start. Got it all sorted out and now don't have to worry about hot water running out when the kids and wife take their long baths.

And yeah, definitely Cali King. Might have to sleep in the guest room in a small bunk bed soon, though.

I think we're going with a regular king.

Probably going with something more like this now, this is from Crate and Barrel but going to look at cheaper versions of something similar:

Debating on turning the garage into a theater room with multiple TVs and comfy couches or going the opposite direction and turning it into a full on golf simulator.

You can do both -- the golf simulator screen can double as the main TV projector. Might require some creative design for the retractable netting, seating options, and other TVs. Probably depends on how much space you have, but may as well shoot for the moon here!

In Oregon an indoor excercise space is way more valuable than an entertainment center half the year at least....helped my son convert his garage tv room into a kick ass gym 2 years ago...drywalled it, put in the equipment...dart board....state of the art ping pong table...mats....mirrors...it's a really nice space and he uses it....he works with computers all day from home and he needs that setup...the last thing he needs after work is to go sit down somewhere and watch a screen

 

[riverman]

Indeed. It's been absolutely a must have for me. I eat a lot and if I don't work out I'd easily put on the weight quickly.

I'm headed over there this afternoon to use his gym....I love his pingpong table...I have a traveling ping pong net that fits any table size I use at home on our dining room table so I play quite a bit in the winter....darts too....love to throw darts and contemplate the universe while doing it...great meditation

 

[riverman]

My next major home upgrade will be making a state of the art bathhouse with tubs, massage table, multi shower head shower..lots of light.potted herbs...sauna....I have a sauna but would love to move it into a giant bath house....place you could enjoy hanging out even without needing the facilities....I had one in Hawaii separate from our cabin and it was awesome!

 

[bigbailes]

Baller!

Turned 2/3 of my garage into a gym. So glad I didn't turn it into a theater room. Wife actually wanted a theater room so she can use it as her karaoke room as well. Would've really sucked for me not being able to hit the gym as I work out regularly.

The joys of having two good salaries coming in and no kids (for now). Gotta get these things done and paid for before little ones are running around and all that disposable income is going to them.

That would be the dream ... we don't have a massive space to work with but might be able to pull it off.

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

No foosball table? I'd kick all you mouth breathers asses at foosball.

All but one ass. Just sayin’ Hotshot.........

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

Dude....

Meet you at Mt. Tabor? Not long of a drive for me.

Got that football table on wheels???? Actually, I’m not sure how good I am anymore. 30+ years ago I had my own table (just down the street from Mt. Tabor) and was pretty damn good. But at the last pre-Covid draft party, @Orion Bailey roughed me up pretty good.....so you’d probably be pretty much beating up on an old guy. I might have lost my skills but but in my head I’m still the king...... Welcome to geezerdom.......

 

[Haakzilla]

There are a lot of DIY videos and forum posts out there for inspiration -- various golf centric communities online have a wealth of info for this specific housing upgrade!

The VA has hired a private company to come out to my home and provide visits from nurses, physical therapists and occupational therapists. They are trying to get the VA to provide private installation of grab bars for me to help prevent a recent rash of incidents where I have fallen down and can't get up. I'm grateful for the help. Of course I wouldn't be having this trouble if they hadn't poisoned me in Vietnam. The cost of this poison to the government must be astronomical considering the over half a million other guys who were there just the year I was there. Now consider that they must have been spraying this stuff for several years. Oh my God, was it worth it?
