The Dan Cave – Basement Bar – Before and After:
Building a Bar in your basement is probably the most logical way to transform that damp, dingy and literally scary basement space into a warm, inviting living area. First, learn to prepare your basement for the bar installation, then let your imagination run. Site member Dan decided to transform this nasty “endungeoned” corner of his basement into a cozy party bar. He did well. Great job Dan!
The Dan Cave – Before and After
Now isn’t that a better use of that dark old space? All it takes is a broom, some paint, some lumber and a great set of plans to help you build a warm inviting basement home bar pub. The only thing that suffers at the Dan Cave are the spiders who lost their homes.
