Looks great Cion! If I could get something that is 1/10th as nice as what you have conceptualized I would be fortunate.
Keeo on going. Update us with your progress!
This is pretty much the final rendering of what we expect to have once complete. Again, never mind the actual furniture or color, just using what the program had to create something as close to what I desire. We hope to get started on the within the next couple of weeks, and finish by May 2016. The updates will begin again. Thanks to all whom were and still interested in progress.

Everything is moving forward.

So the three heat sources will be, the floor board, fire place (fake), and the heater connected to the fresh air duct, which is controlled by a thermostat. Next week we should have a nice update with all ducts and fans up in the ceiling. Below are a few photos.

Thanks for all comments and suggestions fellas!
Looks awesome!
I would love to get something like this in my basement!
Thanks Bro! Hey man, work on it. :stogie:Quote:

Again, thanks so much for sharing this us! I'll be doing one of my own soon.
Looking good.
Hey guys, just a quick update. Nothing too special, just a half days work of running wires, and we started running the duct work. We also put up 2 of the ventilation fans. These fans are SUPER quiet, and we tested them as seen without the insulation, fan cover, and sheet rock.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...psxdqu6ev4.jpg
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps41nmo6zk.jpg
Next week we'll finish putting in the 3rd ventilation fan, duct, and connect it to the bathroom ventilation fan already up.
Small progress, but we're moving ahead...generally we only have one day a week (Sunday) to do this work, and we spend about 5-6 hours. The hard part is almost over, and then we'll get to the electrical work. These duct joints are taped, and will be sprayed or painted with a 2nd sealer. Insulation will go on top of everything. Ok, any questions or comments and welcome and appreciated. Until next week my friend! :stogie:
Thank you sir! I look forward to seeing your project when you get it started.Quote:

We put up the 3rd ventilation fan, and started cutting the ceiling to connect the bathroom vent to the main ventilation system (with the 3 fans). Next week, we'll finish the exhaust duct work, and put up the fresh air system. We also ran some more wiring for the electrical work, which we will also start next Sunday. :yes!:
Here's a few photos...similar to the last update.
Here is more duct work I had to purchase today.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...psilzziioy.jpg
This is the only piece of flex duct that I'm using.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps1jfdja7i.jpg
This is the 3rd fan we put up today, and the 4" duct we have coming off the tee duct to feed or draw from the bathroom.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps8hkxcueu.jpg
This is the sealer we decided to go with. Duct tape with air tight seal, and Flex seal spray. I also have Mastic, but not sure if we will use it, this flex seal seems pretty tight with the tape.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...psn0apcwaj.jpg
This is where the main duct will connect to all 4 fans and go outside to the side of the house with no windows.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps6an401fs.jpg
As always, thanks for tuning in, and all comments and questions welcomed!
Until next Sunday!

Looking good!

What's up ladies and Gents! Just a weekly update. We thought we would be able to finish up the duct work today, but it turned out to be more work than anticipated. A lot of cutting measuring etc. We finished most of the duct work today though. We connected the bathroom to the main exhaust duct, now all is left of the exhaust is running the last couple of 6" duct outside of the house and installing the exhaust exit. We started and completed most of the fresh air system as well. We put up most of the duct, installed the intake fan and duct heater. We also ran half the duct across and down the wall. All is left is to run the fresh air duct to the other side of the room, and then we can start sealing the walls and ceiling back up...of course AFTER we test everything. So far we tested each piece for power, and everything works. The exhaust fans BLOW like MAD! (as we cut them on and put our hand in the end duct) So, it's going to suck that smoke right out the room easy! Anyway...a few photos below. All and any questions, feel free!
This is the little 50cfm fan in the bathroom that we hooked up to the main exhaust system.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...psuphrmqiu.jpg
That fan is running through a 4" duct below.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...pso725dunh.jpg
This is the last of the 4" duct that connects to a 4-6" duct reducer, which connects to the 6" main duct.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...psiomzd3q7.jpg
This is the one of the two fresh air ducts feeding the room.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...psxx56f1v2.jpg
This is the one fresh air duct going in and up the wall, it will run across the ceiling instead of in the ceiling, as there is no room for both duct systems to pass (it's ok, my ceilings are pretty high. I'm 6'1" and have PLENTY of head room.) The 6" duct will actually come down leaving about 4" left in the beam you see it pinned against once it's boxed off, covered with sheet rock, and will have a ladder effect. I plan on decorating it with the walls using molding. Where you see the open tee, is where we are going to run the other fresh air to the other side of the room.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps5wuh7qtd.jpg
The fresh air duct leads up the to this 6" duct heater.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...psabz6hjgt.jpg
The 6" duct heater runs into a 6" to 8" reducer, to connect to this big boy pulling in all the fresh air this room needs.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...psgmv4ao2e.jpg
We cut the hole and installed the fresh air intake. We didn't finish this install, just put some basic sealer to keep things out until next week., however, everything fits like a charm. BTW, from the fresh air fan, we went to a 8" to 7" reducer, and went out the side of the house with a 7" duct and return.
http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/a...pseqovi9oj.jpg
We'll as Porky Pig would say, "That's all Folks!"...
Until next week!
Be well!
:stogie:
Wow, to be honest I lost count...lol. Only because this is 2 years in the making. If I were to guess, I'd say so far (not being done) I'm in the $10 grand range give or take a little. Good thing is, to complete the room, just basics, no electronics, no bar, entertainment center, REAL humidor, or wine rack, I practically bought everything, so there's just a few more hundred to spend on the wood floors, paint and molding. To be honest, I can easily see another 6-10 grand going into the room for total completion (including furniture). We are going to build my bar ourselves, and also the entertainment center which will hold the smaller TV, liquor, and small things like a coffee machine. For the most part, I'm just concerned with getting the MAIN stuff done, which is the exhaust and electrical...so I can smoke my first stick in here, and go "Aaaahhhhh". Everything else will be done in phases. After the basics are done, we will immediately start on the bar, and entertainment center. Other things will be purchased over time. Anyway, I've said A LOT more than what wass asked lol. Be well!Quote:

We want new pics.:peep::peep::peep::peep::peep:
Just read through this whole thread, now I'm hoping he pops back on and update's :)
Hello guys! :cigarette: Man, it's been quite some time. I know you guys are expecting to hear the room was complete, and I've been enjoying smokes in there for years, but unfortunately it's still being done...(Photos coming soon). I am happy on how it's coming along, and I set a time (put my foot down) on getting it complete (Lights, walls/paint, bar & furniture) detailing will be a lifelong thing. Why isn't it done? Well, simply due to life, and doing other things in-between time. Just to keep it short, kids, wife, household things, traveling (Hawaii, Paris, etc.;)), not to mention, it hasn't slowed down my pleasure of having a cigar when I wanted; either I go to the B&M with the guys or have one in my make shift room next to this one lol. Over all, this project is coming a long nicely, and I'm still excited to have my 1st smoke in there...(sitting, relaxing, not testing the exhaust and fresh air system we installed.)
Well, for those of you who were around since we started, and may still be around, here's an update (hope you're not disappointed it's not done, but we are still at it), photos will come VERY shortly...I do want you guys to see the progress. I did change the name to The Brooklyn Way (cigar room).
Any questions, or comments are welcomed! ;):cool:
Looking forward to seeing the photos and glad it's still alive and kicking as a project!Quote:
