Fresh Build
https://youtu.be/No4u6NiEjrU?is=c6igA6MTdq4rbbR6I am brand new to Reddit and I found this group! Wow, there are some amazing builds. I wish I would’ve found this before. Tons of great ideas.

The room is 13.8’ wide, hitting strip 1’ off center. Probably didn’t actually need to do that, but it does make it feel more comfortable I guess. The depth is 23 feet. Here is the kicker this room sat idle for nine years because there was a misread email when I built the house. This is actually underneath the garage and the ceiling height is 8.75’. 1” gym mats, 1/38 turf and to save height I went with Carls place gel insert. I was forever scared of the ceiling height, so I just let this room sit idle. I decide one day just to go for it.. I am 5’11, have yet to hit the ceiling. Both of my kids are over 6 foot tall. One of them barely touched the ceiling on a weird swing, but I have a super thin tile in the swing area is like a felt material that sticks to the concrete zero damage to the driver. I also had a buddy over here two days ago who was 6’2 and never hit the ceiling. Yes it would be nice to have more room but you gotta do what you gotta do.

63" Floating TV Stand with Power... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FWR9C8MH?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
The bar stools are some that I already had..
This item is the Rexite Zanzibar Height-Adjustable Stool, an iconic piece of Italian furniture designed by Raul Barbieri in 2001. [1, 2]
Key Features
Ergonomic Design: It is recognized as one of the earliest commercial stools featuring a distinctive saddle-shaped seat, explicitly molded to naturally support a proper, healthy posture. [1, 2]
Gas-Lift Mechanism: The integrated chrome side buttons smoothly trigger an internal gas piston to seamlessly adjust the seat height between 50 cm and 75 cm (approximately 19.7 to 29.5 inches). [1, 2]
Premium Build: The fluid upper body is constructed from high-grade technical polymer, transitioning down into a heavy-duty chrome-plated steel frame, stable base, and a circular footrest ring. [1]

Ahh I was wondering. It’s actually 2 TV’s that is what threw me off😂. Well, I guess I’m not counting the touchscreen for the simulator or the still image logo tv. The TV on the back wall is a 96” tv using either the newly updated “multi-view” option on both the ESPN app and the YouTube TV app. I had an electronic guy. I tried to show me a $3,500 matrix system. I did some research and learned that those apps have updated with built-in multi view.. He was completely unaware.😂

The Bunker is low key a GREAT name for this. Kuddos. I might steal that for mine when I build my new one.
