My mining cave rec room

The photos are the rough framing and scratch coat of my mining cave rec room with a 1920s bar with a new tin ceiling over the bar. I still have to add photo captions.

Mining cave shower

Hello Vertical Artisans -- just posted new photos of the completed 6'X8' walk-in mining cave shower connected to our mining cave rec room. The shower features brushed nickel fixtures, a LED rain showerhead and 100 yr old weathered boards for a blocked off tunnel effect used throughout the mining cave rec room.

Mining cave tunnels

Posted on August 27, 2013 at 9:16pm 0 Comments 1 Like

Hello Vertical Artisans.

I added a few new photos of my two completed 8'L x 4'W x 3'H tunnels that branch out from my "mining cave" rec room. (They were difficult to do with a splatter gun due to the confined space.)

I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( mr.frankkwabena0022@yahoo.com.hk ) for the full details.

Have a nice day

Thanks God bless.

Mr.Frank
