Is there a cheap way to ship a pool table light to Europe from Canada?
Nov 26, 2007 by minshullj | Posted in Other - Cars & Transportation
I need to ship a box 51x33x17 inches to The Neatherlands from Canada and am getting quotes from DHL, FedEx and UPS for $600+. At present I'm thinking of having it shipped from the US via FedEx for $440 but I'd like to ship it from Canada and I don't mind if it goes by boat. Any suggestions for who might offer this type of service?
You might get it cheaper shipped by boat/cargo container, but it could take months. $440 via FedEx sounds like a good price if you want to get it there quickly.
Good luck!

Does anyone have any ideas on making my own pool table light out of plastic and wood?
Jan 02, 2008 by Okobojibel | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
Sparky, I love that idea. I will do all you have said but to make it more decorative I am wondering if I cut out the sides of the wooden pieces to make framed openings then get some plexaglass and maybe simulate stained glass? with paint or decals or something. thanks for any and all suggestions!
I think Ellie must have misunderstood your question. ;-)
What you can do is take a piece of wood and cut to the required length. you will need to attatch a chain to both ends or you could use some heavy duty nylon string. then you put some hooks in the ceiling above the table so you can hang your lighting rack. ok so you have your wood, all you need then is 2 ordinary household table lamps. dismantle the lamps so you can attatch them to your piece of wood, drill holes in the wood so you can trail the wires out of the way. I would recommend using 2 lamps so you will be able to light the whole of the table. You will probably need to extend the wiring for the lights so you can plug them in.

how do you hang a pool table light?
Oct 25, 2006 by Schick2 | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I know the height and have everything ready to go...my only question is how to physically mount it to the ceiling...what hardware to use
okay, where the light will currently line up, one side of it will go into the stud/joist, but the other side currently goes into the drywall. I do not have an attic (houses in vegas don't like them for some reason) and I cannot get into the attic to assist. Knowing that, on the side where it is mounted on the drywall, how would you mount it?
I imagine the pool light is fairly heavy - if so attaching to sheetrock in the ceiling may not be strong enough, regardless of whether you use wing bolts, molly's etc. If you're lucky the ceiling joists will line up and you can screw eyelet screws directly into the wooden joists. If the light does not line up with the solid ceiling joists, you could use short pieces of 2 X 4 to act as bracing. Just attach this across the span of the joists where the light will be hanging. Now you can drill holes through the ceiling and into solid wood, regardless of where the joists are. You could then attach the light using long lag screws, eyelet screws or any type of bolt long enough for the project. You could even use wire. Good luck - once you begin looking into the project, you'll begin to realize it's pretty easy and straight-forward.

What is the best color to paint a living room with light color hardwood floors and a dark stain pool table?
Feb 16, 2007 by michael_barnecut | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
30'X15': So long and skinny. Floors are light hardwood, pool table is dark stained, room is white right now and there is a west facing plate glass window. Not sure what color would help bring out the hardwood floors and table the best, everything else in the room can be changed. Also thinking about doing crown molding, any suggestions?
A gold or warm beige tone willl enhance the light wood floor and make the dark table "pop" out.
A dark red (like a wine-color) or a dark fir green will make the room more close and cozy but with the big window and not a lot of other furniture you can get away with it. Make sure they are warm tones not cool.
Get some swatches and pin them on the walls for a few days. Or buy just a pint of paint colors you want to try & dab them on the walls. Observe color in morning, afternoon and evening artificial light,l then choose the one you like best.
Crown molding is always nice and adds value to the room by defining the height.

where can i find 32" fluorescent light bulbs for my pool table Budweiser light?
Nov 13, 2007 by textim6771 | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
i have checked home depot,wal-mart,and searched the net,no luck!!!all sizes seem to be available,but the one i need!from 12" to 48".two prongs on each end,dont care about the watts.light holds one bulb on each side.
check a specialty lighting company...they carry many types of bulbs....if not i am more than sure they will point you in the right direction. some hardware stores may carry those. i have a 12 inch bulb in my desk lamp, which i found in a true value store. you can also try ACE

Beautiful AND Functional!
We ordered this light for our new pool table and it arrived on time, was easy to install (two choices for hanging)and looks great. I would recommend it highly.
Make sure you request the actual pictures of this item from seller!
I received this item and noticed the Pole and Metal light fixtures along with the hanging chains, are all "GOLD Plated" and looks nothing like the picture of the item on Amazon.com. The picture of this item shows a Contemporary Silver Metallic Brass Pole with contemporary black shades with 6 other different shade color options above the picture/image on Amazon.com. All items I received were of a completely different design when compared to the item seller has posted and is selling on Amazon.com. Even the black metal shades are not the same. Seller refused to send me pre paid shipping labels so I can ship the item back to them. You will have to pay for shipping to send this item back to seller. Please request the actual pictures of this item before you buy. I have pictures of the item they sent me. You can compare them with the item advertized here on Amazon.com.

I really like this light
There were so many lights varieties to choose from. I wanted something affordable but nice, and not too fancy or gaudy. I think this like fit my needs perfectly.
The instructions to install were pretty simple, and I'm not all that handy with tools a wires. I have a Pecan Olhausen billiard table with light tan cloth, and this light matches perfectly. The light on the table looks great, and the shades are just opaque enough to keep the rest of the room lit without it being too bright.

After 43 Years, a Party in New Orleans
10.03.10
Beer-stained, bead-scattered Bourbon Byway someone's cup of tea was black and gold infuriate to wall — the bars on either side were half empty, playing either “Break Up and Get Crunk,” the Saints ’ prevailing theme long story, or the old standby, “When the Saints Go Marching In.”
From the balconies, in lieu of confetti, they threw cocktail napkins. In lieu of dear Champagne, people raised the shabby stuff.
A central-aged sweetheart stood in a doorway wiping tears from her eyes. In the halfway of the street someone was holding up a momentous: “Abyss FREEZES OVER”
“We won the Wonderful Bowl , confrere,” said a man in a tuxedo, taste on his friend who was wearing a Saints jersey. “Can you contemplate that after 40 years?”
Toward Canal Row it got impossibly crowded, the torrent parting around the monitor on horseback — one police officer with his hands raised in supremacy — but not stopping, shouting, pongy chief-fiving.
The cheers heterogeneous: “Who Dat,” straightforwardly, and “Saints, cosset,” but in large part people were at best stating the gloriously open to each other, “We won the Wonderful Bowl, Man.”
One lady head to toe in malicious fist-bumped a man heading in the facing direction, reconsidered, and then gave him a big take hug. “It’s screamingly funny baby,” she said.
Four and a half years ago, the downstairs of Kenneth Greedy’s gratis in the Lower Ninth Zone was under 14 feet of bath-water. Now it was full of folding chairs, froth Saints hands, aluminum platters of smoked chicken, gumbo, deviled eggs and macaroni and cheese. There was a table full of booze, a woman snoring in a Saints N.F.C. champions hat and a group of men voicing their opinions.
