Terrific!

Thanks! The pace is so pathetically slow it's as if each light switch rewired is a major step forward. They could have built a damn house in the time it's taken to do this work. When the GC said the work would take about 60 days, what he should have said is " 60 days over six months."

It looks great! Ours is about ready to be redone again, and the new huckleberry drapes are making me want to do it sooner than later (it's currently burgundy and really clashes)

It looks great and compliments your other fabrics so well. I cannot wait to read your book. Sounds as if you could be finished writing it by the time everything gets completed. ;-)

Wow! That's gorgeous kswl! I can't wait to see the room.

Tell me about things moving slow. We moved into our home well over a decade ago and only one room is complete. And it just happens to be the smallest room in the house. The half bath.

Looks good....so glad you didn't go with plaid.

looks great!!
can i ask you how much it was to have it refelted?? also, is it a 9' table or a smaller one? i am assuming they did it right in your home??

You mean we have to wait another 6 months to see the finished product....lol. The red felt looks great!

Ohhh, I love it! The rusty brick is perfect for the rest of your upholstery.

Thanks, everyone! Busy, the cost breakdown was as follows:

Disassembling 7 ft pool table and moving it to storage area of our house: $225
Reassembling pool table: $275
Reflelting at time of reassemble : $175
Total $675

I think the charge for an all in one day re-felting job is $600 because there's only one trip necessary. In our case he disassembled the table in January and reassembled it five months later. The price included the wool felt from any company except Simonis, which is worsted wool instead of felt. Simonis is much less fuzzy and therefore faster for play and I would have liked to use it ($100 surcharge) but the color range is very limited.

Annie, that is exactly what Pool Table Guy said :-) And the cost of the job would have been MUCH higher, and now that it see it the space is too small to contain a pool table with that much pattern. It would have sucked all the oxygen out of the room.

Justgottabeme, that is hilarious-- the half bath! I'm guessing it wasn't so funny at the time.

Gry Falcon, that material may become a chapter on electricians in a larger book titled, General Contractors and Their Subs: Unreliable and Unreliabler.

Errant, there is a nice array of colors to choose from and I would love to see a picture of yours with the huckleberry drapes when finished!

Joanie, they started the job mid January and are still not finished! If it takes another six months I would have to Take Steps....

Holly Kay, thank you, I was a bit worried at first that the color would be too loud but it looks just right with the other stuff. I hope!

thx so much kswl!! we probably will be refelting soon, so appreciate the breakdown! table size prob won't affect price much, except for fabric cost...

Love it! Also so glad you went with this color and not the plaid. It looks great with your other fabrics, and can't wait to see the entire room finished. I'm sure you can't wait to get the subs out of your life too. If you need any supporting stories for your book, you know where to come looking!

The solid color felt looks great on your table! Rack em up!!!

Al

Absolutely perfect! Great job!!

Great color choice and looks very nice. Glad to hear something has worked out well with this project!
