We got rid of a lot. We had 4 big bins of camping stuff that I moved into the attic because we only use that 2-3 a year in the summer. I bought a tool cart for most of the tools. I put a black table cloth over it and use it for snacks during poker. I also bought 4 storage lockers to hide all the paint cans, car stuff, sports stuff, and misc crap that needs to be in the garage. Lastly I bought 4 Ikea cabinets and moved some storage into our spare roome. I still hang the bikes in the garage and have the weight rack. Those all get moved out during poker. I just put the weights in the driveway. Without the weights we could park two cars inside but just 1 can fit now. The floors are durable enough for cars. During poker I have room for 3 ten player tables.
I almost forget. I also bought a small shed. I think it is 5'x7'. It fit perfectly behind our other shed so you can't see it at all when in the backyard.
That's the next dream.
Wow, it looks really amazing, congratulations! I hope one day I can have a place like yours to host my home poker games.
Sorry for such a late response. I found part of the bar for free on facebook market place. It was an L-shape counter used in a small cafe. I added the top level (butcher block) and new wood on the lower level to match (although the color doesn't match perfectly but you can't tell with my lighting during poker). It is sturdy and has good storage below.
Better chairs would be nice but are not practical for my set-up. I keep these chairs hung on the wall. My 3 poker tables have folding legs and are up against the wall too. This allows me to have room for 1 parked car and a weight rack/work out area when not playing poker. If this was a full time poker room, I would upgrade the chairs.
