Where’s the snow? That’s the question we keep hearing this year. It’s now January 4th 2012, yet here in Northeastern Wisconsin, we have nothing but a light dusting that today is melting quickly. It’s about noon and my personal weather station indicates a balmy 34 degrees with mid 40′s forecast in the next few days. If you’re curious as to where snow may fall in the next three days, checkout this snow forecast site.
where is the snow? take advantage of the mild weather and build your home bar now!
Last year we experienced the third snowiest winter on record , but 2011 and 2012 already look to be the least snowy year on record. Good thing I didn’t buy that snowmobile this year! However, I did buy a SnowSport HD snow plow for my Ford F-150, maybe that’s the reason we have no snow! Seriously though, many businesses that reply on income from snowmobiler’s, winter sports or snow removal service are suffering and there is no snow in the extended forecast.
So where is the snow? Well it’s up there somewhere and it’s just a matter of time before we get that first big snowstorm. The nice part of all this delayed snow is that if you’re interested in starting a building or remodeling project, now is the time to take advantage of the dry roads, easy driving and mild temperatures.
A little more interesting information regarding the Sun and a possible future forecast for the planet…
Space.com has reported that the current La Nina pattern may be the result of the nearing solar maximum period where sunspot activity is at a peak level, creating higher than normal solar heat output. The unusually long solar minimum that started in 2004 and it’s associated cooler temperatures is predicted to be followed by and even lower period of sunspot activity that could extend into 2021 or beyond. This low level of sunspot activity could rival the 75 year long Maunder Minimum that created abnormally cold summers back in 1645 to 1715 and was called the Little Ice Age. So, enjoy these warm spells while you can! Build that home bar now so you can enjoy the coming years of cold in the comfort of your own home. Cheers!
Summer is just around the corner and after a long dreary winter, your thoughts will no doubt be focused on getting out of the house. But when summer heat finally takes it’s toll, on goes the air conditioner as you retreat from the heat. But what if you had a cool basement bar retreat in which to escape from steamy temperatures and even that dreaded summer danger, tornadoes (or other scary world events)?
one cool basement bar
This cool basement bar is not only great looking, but can serve as a sort of basement bunker. The bar area includes all the conveniences, serving as a secondary safe zone in the event of public emergency.
We have installed running water, toilet, TV, electricity and food stores if needed. We stock our bar back room with plenty of canned goods, bottled R.O. water, first aid and a general survival kit.
The bar area even includes a camera system for monitoring outdoor conditions and a jukebox with internet connectivity.
It never hurts to be prepared.
Think of it as a modern day fallout shelter.
We’re working on a a canopy bar concept that will serve as both a bar and a bunker.
TIP: If you’re fortunate to have a basement, then you know how nice and cool that space can be in the summer. The problem is, many home basements are cold and damp.
Damp basements are usually easy to remedy. If your walls and floor don’t leak, then you are in good condition. The next step is to condition the air. A simple room dehumidifier can remove much of the stagnant moisture in the air and in surrounding materials. A ozone type air cleaner can then remove any musty smell.
When you finally decide to save money by entertaining at home and want to build a home bar, you have two choices in planning your unused room or basement remodeling bar project.
1. Get out a pencil and paper to sketch up a working bar design or…
2. Join a website that offers a bunch of tried and tested bar designs and a bar photograph gallery with thousands of pictures that is second to none for finding great design ideas.
No matter if you are an expert woodworker or a complete novice, there is only one site the gives you so much for so little. Consider for a moment what you time is worth. Even If you make minimum wage, our bar plans design website will save you money by saving hours of guesswork and time. The fact is that we help you do it right the first time. Other sites sell plans with rickety designs that even their own members claim are “shabby” in their framing techniques. When a bar if framed up, it should be solid, but according to members of one other site, once the bar is framed up, it’s wobbly and unstable. That indicates a poor design. Our designs are rock solid even before the side sheeting goes on and are designed to take all the wild party abuse you can throw at them.
The Easy Home Bar Plans site will help with great time saving ideas and designs for your home bar. Other look-a-like bar plan sites deliver less that one tenth the amount of useful content.
Combination bar perfect for your basement game room / rec room layout.
Versatility is also something you should look for and not just an empty claim of such. Our designs can be easily modified and combined to create unique and beautiful bar layouts that will be the focal point of your basement rec-room. As you can see, this classic bar and bar back combination is possible by simply combining our EHBP-09 45 degree corner bar (leg lengths modified by using the CHBD resizing tool) and our EMBP-01 3 in 1 Combo Bar Back project plans. Both are available for resizing for literally thousands of possible custom size layouts.
