The Cape

Bought my wife a new camera a while back and finally snapped some new pics. The quality of the new pics are about 10 lightyears ahead of the old ones so I figured, "eff it, I'll toss em out there."

I did all of the construction myself. It was a bare basement when I started. I did the electrical, plumbing (there's a bathroom I don't have pics of), framing, drywall, floor, ceiling, the bah... everything.

Behind the bah is a small fridge, a convection oven, dishwasher and microwave. I have a walk-in coolah in a back stoarage area and run six insulated lines behind a wall, in through the side of the bah, up through the bah and into the tap box.

See if this works. Ok... here we go... this is the front of the pub. It is a doorway at the bottom of the stairs in my basement. That door weighs about 250 lbs and it solid maple. I built it from scratch and had a blacksmith down in Tenn. bang out the hinges for me.

Here's the front of the bah... when you walk through the "pub door" you're facing the bah

Coffin box on the bah and tap handles

Most of the rest of the room.

Place to play dahts

... and a place to shoot pool

WOW!!!!! I hope my pub turns out to be half this awesome!

Good job!!

How many square feet is your Pub??

about 1,000

Nice! When's the party?

This gives "going down to the Cape for the weekend, be back on Monday" a whole other meaning.

Thats hilarious.. I swear to you that is EXACTLY where the name came from. My old roommates an I had a little bar in and old apartment. We didnt have three nickles between us but we worked with a bynh of rich people so when they asked what we were doing for the weekend, it was "probably just heading to the Cape to relax"

I just mapquested how long it will take me to get to your house from the Longwood Medical Area...see you in about 45mins...ps. ....i like my buffalo wings spicy and my beer cold...

good lord.

That's amazing! Can I come and live in your basement?

Bob and I loved looking at the pictures. Beautiful pub- I'm sorry I can't see it in person. It's inviting, and I'm so jealous!

Effing wicked awsome!!! Berkley, MA. Just finished my basement bah as well...need to post pics...yours is supa!

I like how you type in your accent. Please never change. The "bah" looks amazing.

Wicked pissah

That's awesome, Cape.

I wish I had that kind of talents. Well done.

Note: I'm actually surprised the room isn't littered from floor to ceiling with Patriots crap.

I take it you don't use the letter r? Nice bar. Nice place to shoot darts.

schweet, nicely done!

Good job on everything.

Thanks for the kind words.. It was a ton of work and its a lot of fun down there.

Nah... I have Patriots blanket down there and that's it. Not that there is anything wrong with being THAT guy... but... I'm not THAT guy.

I keep my Patriots insanity mildly in check. No need to plaster the walls with it.

I DO have a 8x10 autographed picture of Adam Vinatieri down there. That's kinda cool. It says, "to the guys at the Cape, damn right I caught Hershall Walker!". I doubt any of you, other than a die hard Pats fan, remember that play.

I liked how you post pics of a local dive bar and pass it off as your's.










gotcha.

Surprised it took you so long!

Oh man! I'd never leave the house!

i want to buy a house now... and win the lotto.... just sayin...

I like the entryway.

Wow! Saying you did a great job would be the understatement of the year. I am so absolutely green with envy. I hope you get much enjoyment out of it.

Thanks. I tried to make it look like the front of a pub. I am currently lookig for someone that can come down and paint a mural on the wall to the left ( if you are facing the "front of the pub") to look like a street that extends out in front of you. I then want to have the opposite wall to that door like another store front.... Like a hardware store or something.

THEN i want to put cobblestone on the floor.

How soon can you get to Norton, Mass?

I know a couple people that paint some amazing murals! You should check out my buddy Eric's artwork.......Then again if you make your bah any cooler it WILL be harder to get rid of me!

I can do some amazing things with fingerpaint. Are you going to put the mural out for bids?

Even after what the Jets did to them last Sunday??

Man, I love those tap handles. I mean, the whole thing is really impressive, but I REALLY WANT tap handles like that!
