I'm playing golf! I used this forum throughout the build answering many questions I had. I'm very thankful for all of the contributions.

I love the cabinet. The bonus is that I can put my Quad inside and lock it! I will be mounting the touchscreen to the wall as well to give more desk space. The cabinet is also getting mounted to the wall to get it flush and off the floor so the Roomba can come through daily

huntsaver - Awesome work! That cabinet is awesome... what I want to know most about though are the Side Curtain rods and how you hung those, looks like off the ceiling mounted to the rafters? Really classy with the wood ceiling/walls - is that old barn wood (distressed?).

I'll be doing a similar mount very soon - I have the curtains, just not the rod, or knowledge of mounting on an angle like that. I planning on mounting to the back wall (in back on each side), and on the side walls (left/right on each side) - but my ceilings are only 7' tall, so not sure that's going to be my best look or way to capture balls going that way. Have a look at my 'Golf Sim Shed build' post showing my current state... I'm hoping to finish by Christmas after pushing back my Thanksgiving deadline.

Those curtain rods are just 1" black pipe and fittings from my hardware store. I wiped them with steel wool and acetone then rattle canned them black. Cheap way to go and you can have the pipe cut to any length you want. Then just some 90 elbows, short nipples and floor flanges. Again all accessible at the hardware.

The ceiling is called Mushroom Wood. It's a soft Hemlock that they use for cribbing in some mushroom growing operations out in Pennsylvania. I have a local Amish guy in Michigan that buys it. The wood honestly isn't that old. 1-2 years maybe, but the mushrooms take all of the nutrients out of the wood and make it look like it's 200 years old with deep textures. The best part is that I did not have to stain it or anything. Just sized it up on the table saw and nailed it. I had to wait almost 3 months for the boards, but well worth it and it makes quite the conversation piece so far every time someone comes into my barn for the 1st time. I have a lot yet to do, but I'm sure progress will slow now that balls are hitting the screen
