JABBAS MOVING - JABBAS NEW "JABBAS WORLD" PICS INS

[oscargarza88]

the floor loods very very nice
about how much more time do u have planned it will take to have the house complete?

[Jabba]

I am trying very hard for April the 9th.

[cho_888]

it looks so good jabba! Now you need a massive fug to go over some of that floor

[Jabba]

Yeh and your girlfriend (in your avatar) to be waiting for me in the bath when I get home from work.... :P

[cho_888]

X-girlfreind thanks jabba, when had a bit of a fight. :wink: :roll: Another nice idea would be a room with a massive pool table and green walls

[Jabba]

Yeh I would love a pool or snooker table...but sadly that is one thing I havent got room for right now....maybe next year though if I could get an extension built for one.

[cho_888]

yeah you could get a ferrari horse put into the felt. I cant wait to see this house finished it will be the best house ever.

[Jabba]

Yeh that sure would a nice idea to see come true.

BTW I cant stop looking at your avatar...talk about a smug look of the cat that got the cream....she is so damn gorgeous though...you must have felt like you were in heaven.

[PATo355]

The house does not have pool ? hmmm ... weird for such an expensive house ... but with the weather in the UK ...

[Jabba]

No it has a pool...but not a pool table...as in the game with balls....

Ooops :oops: , yes i should have seen the previous posts b4 asking dumb questions :wink:

Nice pool ...

[Jabba]

Here I am....... :oops:


Those wooden floors look amazing so solid in a way......not sure how to put it.... :wink:
D

I don't think you could have put it in any other way...they are indeed very solid to walk on.

Heres a few more pictures and it appears things are starting to come together now..... thank goodness.... as the deadline approaches.

[TT]

Yep, things are moving forward indeed! :D I really hope to see the house ready soon :D

I see it's tiles time today :D

[Jabba]

Yep....I think the tiles should be finished in no time at all with a bit of luck...and then its just the shower doors...a new sink and toliet and that should be that one almost done I hope.

[Jabba]

The sink and toliet will just go back where the old ones came from and yes the tiles need 48 hours to "set" before you can walk on them.

[SFDMALEX]

Looks great Jabba. The floors look expensive. As for the posters I hope your not like me. I have about 6 ferrari posters in my room....like a 12year old lol. and I cant get rid of them. :lol:

[Zonda11]

YOu need to find someone to share this with....http://www.supercarshowdown.co.uk/house/721.JPG

Hey,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Cho's X is available ...............JK

[cho_888]

I tell you Zonda11, you can have her. Too much trouble that woman. :twisted:

[Zonda11]

LOL...too bad you can't have the best of both worlds....hot and no trouble

[TT]

The shower is basically done :D

[Jabba]

Yep and as you know TT the removal van is booked for Tuesday....so at least that shower has got to be finished very soon. I am also taking the cars over Monday evening so expect the first photos of them in their new home sometime on Monday.

[jon_s]

Hope the moving in goes smooooooooth!

Bet you can't wait!

[Jabba]

Thanks....and yes and no.

[dropot2]

I am also taking the cars over Monday evening so expect the first photos of them in their new home sometime on Monday.

You already have all the safety and security measures to bring the cars there?

Suzuki dr200se (http://www.cyclechaos.com/wiki/Suzuki_DR200SE)

[Jabba]

Yep check back and you will see all the security gates, cameras and extra secure garage doors.

[dropot2]

oh, I've seen them but I didn't know if they're working properly right now... :wink:
________
VOLCANO DIGITAL REVIEW (http://vaporizer.org/reviews/volcano)

[Jabba]

Yep everything is fully operating...it wont be hooked up to the internet though for you to see the cameras working until July 28th when the ADSL is installed.

[TT]

Ah nice, so the date for ADSL is confirmed! :D

[Jabba]

Yep forgot to say....they told me yesterday July 28th...alot longer than I thought...but at least I have a date and at least I can get it I guess....

[Jabba]

The place is coming together tile by tile I see.... :wink:
The tiles look good in there, and the cars will be over on monday...... :D

I`m sure your exeited over the move and will be a happy jabba when its all done...

Why the long wait for the ADSL?

I think it will take me a while to settle in but it will be all worth it in the long run. The ADSL is taking so long as they have just started to upgrade the telephone exchange.

[DeMoN]

that shower looks like myne after my roomate uses it LOL

So do you still think that it will be done on your wished deadline Jabba?

[coombsie66]

Looks good, just a note:
Make sure you seal around that shower outlet, and all the tiles on that face really well, as normal plasterboard was used to make up that studwork. We always use a concrete based board that is a lot more repelent to water round shower areas. (its fuckin heavy and a bitch to work wiv as well!!). But as long as you seal it properly it should be fine.
Good to see its gettin along well, our phone exchange recently got upgraded too, so im at home now on 1Mb !!! Yey, apart from ive gotta fight my bro sis and dad off to get the the fuckin comp!
Anyone know much about home networking on a BT yahoo broadband connection!??

[bmwfreak]

OK, i've just read the entire thread from page 1 to page 30, and its taken me two days (spread out of course, not all in one go) to do it.

First things first, beautiful house jabba. Congratulations on getting it, touching it up, building up to a standard worthy of the great Jabba himself (= Good luck also on the M3 CSL and F50. The closest i'll get to owning an F50 is probably an electric RC car (we just bought one that resembles a Williams BMW F1 car.) Its a cheapo one, just to get rid of some boredom since i'm on holiday for the next three months.

Like RC and TT, I'm a fan of kitchens, and i just LOVE yours. My dream fridge is actually the one you have, but mine would've been in Steel Gray to match the dream M3 CSL that would have been parked out front as well. Hehe.

All ideas for the garage that I could have come up with (and more) have already been suggested, so I dont htink i can offer anything new on that front. The Go Kart idea sounds fantastic in theory, although since I live on the other side of the planet, I doubt i could make it to a JW Karting event should one be held :(

I knwo you dont have exact figures on square footage, but it looks to me like it should be in the region of... 10 to 15 thousand sq ft? Been wtching MTV Cribs, so been hearing lots of sq ft estimates lately. (Shaquille O'Neal's home in florida covers 64 thousand sq ft, just to mention it).

As for coombsie:

Setting up a home network to share a broadband connection is pretty easy. To share a BBC (broadband connection, in short), you need to have at least two computers running (one PC wouldnt be considered sharing). Some basic hardware is required : -

1. Broadband modem (generally a DSL or ADSL one)
- Your modem can either just be a normal modem or it can be a Router with a modem and switch built in. (I'd generally go for the latter, even though its a little bit pricier. The reason for this follows shortly)
2. Ethernet PCI cards (network cards, dependent on how many PCs you are planning to share a connection with)
- Ethernet is a networking standard used to determine the connection speeds and protocols computers on a network use to communicate with oen another
3. Ethernet CAT 5e networking cable (like telephone wires, only they use bigger jacks - RJ 45 as opposed to RJ-11 for normal telephones)
- this is the medium you will use to connect one PC to another.

To put it simply, you hook up your modem to your phone line (where your BBC comes from). if we are to use the ADSL modem with a Router and Switch built in to it, then things would hook up like this

BBC -> ADSL Router/switch ->PC
| (Arrows and lines represent cabling between PCs)
^
PC

Each client PC on the network needs to have an Ethernet network card installed, and all the cables need to connect to the Switch integrated into the modem to create the aforementioned network. This arrangement is preferable to s tandalone modem because it allows any PC on the network to use the BBC without needing any other PC to be turned on. It's a simple matter of plugging things in, doing the cabling, and configuring it through provided hardware and software manuals.

I;m sure that if i'm wrong RC45 or some other techno wiz will correct me, since i have only JUSt recently installed a home network myself. (we share a BBC amongst 4 PCs). (=

[TT]

Well, Jabba already shared his personal home webcam in the past so I'm sure he is (as always) up to the task :D

[Jabba]

I think the advice was directed at coombs and sons TT but maybe I am mistaken...

[TT]

...me feeling dumb...

:oops:

*TT runs as fast as he can, trying to hide somewhere*

[Jabba]

Well as usual its coombs and sons to blame then.....

[bmwfreak]

haha, i've just pulled my third all-nighter in a row. Good morning! (here anyway, it's 8 am.)

Honestly, I miss brit humour. (= By the way, Jabba, you dont happen to have any episodes of The Thin Blue Line and all? I'm a Rowan Atkinson fan (shh, wont mention his Macca F1), and i knwo some ppl think that series was (is) kind of lame, but I liked it.

TT - We are all human. I havent slept in three days. now THAT is dumb. And i didnt watch a single shred of porno. Unbelievable aye?

[RC45]

And i didnt watch a single shred of porno.\

Porn duration is measured in "shreds" now, ay?

I could have sworn I read somewhere that the standard measurement for porn longevity is "jerks"... but I maybe mistaken... ;)

[DeMoN]

Why not network your house with wireless? The latest wireless routers 802.11g(i have wireless b) have a range of 100meters I think or maybe even more. You could get a router and not have to buy more IP's from your ISP. I mean, a router would work like 1 computer and your ISP wouldn't know that more than 1 comp is being used. Wouldn't it be nice to see JW from a laptop or a palm when you are bathing in that wonderful massaging shower? Or whille eating in the kitchen? That would be great!

I didnt receommend a wireless network because the claims for 'over 100 meteres in range' are usually nothing more than marketing ploys and mis-leading advertising. A ireless router and accesspoint would at best (indoors) would have a useful range, through all the walls, windows, etc, of little more than 50 feet. Whilst the increased bandwidth capacity of 802.11g (54Mb/s) as opposed to .11B (11MB/s) might help offset the drop off in performance, the useful range is still qwuite small, and plus, Wireless AP and routers are still a bit pricy, expecially if you want t set up a simple home network.

COnfiguration can also be abit of a headache, because if you dont get it done properly, and if someone knows what they're doing, they might be able to sit outside your house or front gate and leech off your internet connection (has happened to a few mates of mine already). This of course, dpends on how close your AP/Router would be to the outside world, relative to the position of your house.

Wireless networks also suck for gaming. Hehe. A wired LAN would be best if you wanted to play stuff like Counter Strike or UT 2004, because of superior speeeed (my network runs at 1 Gb/s). With wireless stuff also, you have to take into consideration interference, from everything, such as microwaves, remote controlled garage shutters, radio, even your RC car. Yes, they DO have an aimpact on your performance. During a recent test we conducted at my Uni, we tested an AP/Router at a classmate's house, where he had all the things i mentioned above. So we set it (A D-Link ADSL Wireless Router/AP, 802.11g)up in his living room, and tried it out in the kitchen (with said microwaves, other devices and such), which was 20 feet away. From an initial connection speed of 54Mb/s, the connection speed dropped to 2 Mb/s!

One tip when it comes to networking : if you can help it, buy everything from ONE brand only. Sure, all the stuff on the market is supposed to work together because they use the same standards, but compatibility issues always exist. (an ATi RAdeon will never work on my mobo, fo example. It'll only take MSI NVIDIA graphic cards :) )

[bmwfreak]

And i didnt watch a single shred of porno.\

Porn duration is measured in "shreds" now, ay?

I could have sworn I read somewhere that the standard measurement for porn longevity is "jerks"... but I maybe mistaken... ;)

I have a girlfriend to help me with that. (= No need to watch porn. As it is, I'm waiting for Jabba to finish his house, install his jacuzzi surveillance cameras, ang start churning out Pimp Daddy videos of "bathtub gymnastics". Hehe.

Btw... "I didnt watch a single 'jerk' of porn"? Hmm. I guess I'm behind on international standards of measurement.

[coombsie66]

Well as usual its coombs and sons to blame then.....

Thats right! The infamous thread jacker is me!!! Mwahaaa.
Nyways, thankyou for all the advice, i think the integrated switch router modem would be best, as it means a computer doesnt need to be on all the time.
As for wireless, our house has very very thick walls (some up to 4 feet) so i dont think i trust it!
Anyone had experience of Netgear equipment? They appear to be simple to use and have quite good reviews:

http://www.adslguide.org/hardware/reviews/2002/q4/netgear-dg814.asp

This is the model i think i'll get, i think it may have been replaced by an updated version by now tho.
Jabba, do you get all your network equpment through trade by any chance? Who do you use, i think we have an account with CPC it would be great if they supplied all this stuff!

[jon_s]

4ft! Are you sure you are not living in a bomb shelter!

[coombsie66]

lol, yeah, the main external walls are that thick, as i had the pleasure of making a fuckin big hole through one of them for a doorway through to an extension we put onto to end of the house.
Its a big old farmhouse which burnt down a long time ago, and was rebuilt by my grandfather.
Its good it doubles as a bomb shelter tho!

[DeMoN]

Nice explanation there bmwfreak on the wireless. DIdn't expect it to suck that bad. Well I guess that in Jabbas World (the house not this place lol) with all the wals and all those waves from everywhere wil interfere on the AP. But some AP allow both wireless and direct RJ45 connection. So jabba could have the main computer connected directly without sacrificing speed, and having a laptop or pocket pc to see JW from his bed or from the shower, where he doesnt need the top speed since he wont game from his shower, i suppose....

[bmwfreak]

Demon : its for Coombs and sons, not Jabba. I;m sure the Big Daddy knows his stuff, probably better than I do (=

Coombsie : Just from one brand, be it NetGear, D-Link or any other brand. NetGear's pretty good, so yeah, go for it. Be careful when you lay cables for your network though. DOnt let them get near any electrical cables, and try to keep them away from heat sources (like hearters or fireplcaes). There are other types that i could offer you, but these are the main ones.

[italian_stalion_32]

very nice jabba... i like ur dogs and the pool

[TT]

You probably skipped a couple of posts ;) the dogs are not Jabba's ;)

I have 802.11b and I enjoy Jabbas world from the couch, bed, or really anwhere. My router is by a window and I generally can go 3/5 of the way up my 150 m street. So in the house and back yard it works pretty well. I even get Vids to my laptop at 200KB/s when the link strength is only 20%. Not Bad.

Not Bad.I would still insist on a wired netowrk, if it is serious surfing and multiplayer gaming that you want. For casual surfing, Wi-Fi networks are pretty good, and they have a 'wow' factor to them. But the tests we;ve run on them arent so great. Maybe in a few months time, we might start getting quality products around here, but i';m off them for the moment. And also, security COULD be a problem if you;re not sure about what you;re doing.

[Jabba]

At last I got the babies over tonight and into their new home...just "slung" in there for tonight so I could get back and upload tonights 5th Gear. I hope to re-position them over the weekend.

I have to say I am disapointed with the tiles in the bathroom...they are far too dark IMO and dont suit the wood at all...I am hoping that they will clean up to a lighter finish when I work on them at the weekend.

I love to see your two babies dang! And they are quite nice just throw inside like that! As for the three models, they should feel terribly alone :D you should bring their friends asap :D

[corvette97]

I have to say I am disapointed with the tiles in the bathroom...they are far too dark IMO and dont suit the wood at all...I am hoping that they will clean up to a lighter finish when I work on them at the weekend.

nooo. JABBA they look pretty good!!!

maybe the color should be a lil lighter but, IMO they look pretty nice that way!!

+ the monsters look awesome in their new crib!!!!

[PATo355]

This pictures could go in any "what do you see today?" topic !!! , and this is what the Jabba sees all the fucking days :shock:

[Tomerville]

What exhaust do you have on the Diablo Jabba? could you get some sounds up?

[PATo355]

What exhaust do you have on the Diablo Jabba? could you get some sounds up?

You can get some videos at racingflix.com , in the featured ride section

[TT]

Never saw the vids on racingflix dude?

[cho_888]

thats real nice jabba its all coming together

[666fast]

I'm sure it would be more work than you'd like to do, but the tiles would look great if you were varnish all the wood to a darker color. I think it would look great if you were to use Red Varnish. But like I already said, it's a lot of work.

The cars, well, they look great as usual! LOL They also fit! I suppose that was the main concern? lol
Do you have to pull out the 355 to get the Diablo out?

[DeMoN]

Oh nice pics of your garage! Pretty soon I will have the update of your New Years present huh?

[bmwfreak]

Yes, the babies look at home, dont they even though it IS a bit, well, unfinished. They look lonely. Hehe.

The bathroom doesnt look too bad, although i do agree, the tiles and wood finish dont really go well together. But it's turning out great!

Thanks very much for another interesting idea regarding the tiles...I should be able to drive the diablo out but there is a skip (waste container) in the way at the moment.

[Jabba]

I would have been very happy with a bathroom like that and you will get used to them and be happy with them...



Thanks brembo I sure hope so as I have got to look at them every morning and every night.

[Jabba]

Oh nice pics of your garage! Pretty soon I will have the update of your New Years present huh?

Yep just hoping for some good weather now and we will be all set.

I may see if I can get the bimmer in there as well...it should make the diablo look even wider.

[coombsie66]

It all appears to have come together really well! Like u say the tiles r a little dark, but im sure u'll get used to them in time!
The two beasts look comfy at rest, ready for the good weather to come (some time!?) and a good thrashing!

[jon_s]

I might have to get 'lost' over where you live at the weekend lol

So if you are over at that house at the weekend, and someone askes for directions it is me lol

IMO, it all looks fantastic. It is really coming on. Nothing looks out of place, especially the cars! :D I hope they missed the hail storm that pounded all the family cars this afternoon! :shock: That was some LARGE hail!

I am about to build a Koi Pond this weekend, so I shall get some progress pics up! 8)

[bmwfreak]

The hail's pretty bad there, aye? I didnt think hail would fall at this time of the year, unless your weather really IS miserable. Brit weather, eh? MIss it. :lol:

[jon_s]

Yeah, it was around the 5mm mark! :shock: It was a sunny morning though!

[Zonda11]

Looks beautiful....How many more days work is left to be done?

[Jabba]

I already answered this about a thousand times it would seem and just a few posts back in fact...but I guess a picture is worth a thousand posts as they say.

The garage will be heated eventually so no need for anything else except perhaps some dust sheets.

As we can see from the pictures there is a large builders rubbish container blocking the second entrance and the cars were just SLUNG in there that night as I didnt have much time. The way the bimmer is parked will be the way the other cars are parked eventually.

[bmwfreak]

Hehe, Jabba, we use the same mouse and keyboard! I think i mentioned that already, but hey, nice to have at least ONE thing in common with the big daddy!

The last 355 I had was a toy model from HotWheels, thats been MIA for 6 years now. (=

Ahh its not...its just some rain that came off the wheels from the other night I think.....

Not sure about the glare...the blind is supposed to stop any bright sunlight...but it may need a total black out one.

[bmwfreak]

I was going to say that the 355 looked like it had peed over the floor. Slightly scared at sharing a garage with a devil. LoL. When does the garage work start?

[draak666]

Jabba, I noticed you don't have a lot of space (relatively speaking of course) to park all of your cars Here's a tip: I've heard of someone who had a garage full of nice exotics, like yourself. He put some tyres on the walls, so that he wouldn't scrape the walls with his car. One night he came back and parked his car in the garage. Unfortunately he didn't realise that he parked the car with the hot exhaust against a tyre. During the night it caught fire and the whole place burned down. :( . Please be safe...

Nice comfy chair or you've got there in front of your TV. I was wondering if it vibrates. A friend of mine sells audio and video equipment and one of the new things he's got are chairs with a build-in subwoofer. Haven't checked it out yet, but sounds like fun. :D

[tanelvali]

What the hel do you do for a living Jabba? Really. Ok guy has F355 and Diablo, OK, good for you. Guy buys a hpouse worth like a million £ very impressive, but not too surprising. And then the guy just rebuilds it completely... What kind of bussiness are you in? some e-business? real estate? some shareholder for a big company? Heir to family business? If U can then please drop a few words, no need to be too specific if you don't wan't to.. Thanks.

But the JW looks great.

Thanks...there is some threads and posts all about what I do and dont do on JW if you can find them.

[tanelvali]

Now one REPOST from topic "ask yourself and answer yourself" Hopefully I don't get banned or something.

In another topic Jabba has told:
-------------------------------------------
I didnt make any posts at all last night as I was trying to sort some shit out... so that I can have a chance to go and see the Gallarado...

I currently have a Mercedes 500 SL, Bimmer 328i, 4x4 Disco, 355 Spider and Diablo VT Roadster

cars I have previously owned include:

Several BMW, Several Mercedes, Skyline R33, Diablo 2WD, F355 Berlinetta, F355 GTS, 348 GTS, Porsche 993 Tip-Cab, Lotus Esprit Turbo SE, Lotus Esprit NA, Lotus Elan SE, MR2 MK2, MR2 MK1...some I have forgotten I am sure...

I own a few companies and am doing ok....and thats as far as I want to take it....
---------------------------------------------------------

So this answers my question and my human nature interest has been satisfyed. No hard feelings I hope. :) And good luck with business and getting this F50 to improve your collection.

[bmwfreak]

When does the garage work start?

LMAO !!! and you really have read the whole thread....

Let me rephrase it. Better still, you could just ignore it. But i was wondering when are you going to lay down the first piece of actual flooring, after all the suggestions that i've read up on in this thread. (= Rubber flooring? :D why not? (=

Either i missed something, or i HAVE read it, and i just forgot. My bad. :)

[Jabba]

Good hunting indeed !!!

OK yes I understand what you mean now...sorry....

As soon as possible really....but my main priority right now is just being able to move in myself let alone making the cars "comfortable" before I am.

[a007apl]

nice new place, now you need one new Lambo too :wink:

[Jabba]

Maybe a gallardo instead of the 355 I bet you mean.

[a007apl]

BINGO :wink:

[Jabba]

hahahah do they have that game as well in Brazil ?

[bmwfreak]

no, dont get a gallardo! Of course, i'd still say hold out for an F50.

Question though, Jabba : Have you ever owned an M BMW? Since its not specified in tanevali's post about that.

[Jabba]

nope...two I can think of though that are not in that list (there is a picture of one of them in the what you saw today post)

an E36 318i and E36 cab...

[a007apl]

hahahah do they have that game as well in Brazil ?
in this time now because one law stop it

[bmwfreak]

They dont allow BINGO in Brazil? oh, ok.... That's new.

[tanelvali]

Jabba is there a black writinh on your avatar picture? Some signatures? Where can I see HUGE picture of this..?

[Jabba]

Do another search...there is a really nice massive hi-res verison somewhere...if you can find it then I will be truly impressed.

[tanelvali]

well after like 20 misn of searching in JW forums I found.. nothing. :( too bad. but I assume it is some poster given as a gift from JW members? or something like that. if any of you can help, just post pm me url. :) thnx

Hehe to help you, that topic was posted: Sat Dec 13, 2003 4:16 pm ;) cna this help you? ;)

hahahaha, jabba is that you again lol

[bmwfreak]

Oh, Jabba, one thought on the garage thingy. I just wanted to know have you decided on whatthe flooring would be like? You may have mentioned it, but i dont remember you having made a concrete statement on what you would use (i hate my lousy memory). May i also suggest using the flooring on my driveway? Hehe. I think it would like nice on yours. (Trumpet blowing...)

http://www.jabbasworld.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=5988&password=&sort=1&cat=all&page=1 <- there's a pic of my family's E34 and the aforementioned driveway. (= Feel free to ignore me.

[PyroZona]

Wow, Jabba! I've apparently been missing quite a bit around here! First wind I got of you gettin' a house was in the thread about your new (mouth-moisteningly spiffy) computer, LOL! I've been more than a bit curious and anxious to see pics, I must say. I mean, I had figured you were living in your (now) old place until you found a "suitable" house...but FAHK-OO-LAKKA, man! Talk about the wait being well-worth the reward, your new house is absolutely GORGEOUS! It's definitely got that "classic English countryside" warmth to it...and I love all the oak ('specially the floor!). Very classy. Very classy, indeed.

Ok, I've read the entire thread (you KNOW I'm not fibbin' about that, lol), and it doesn't appear you've done the garage floor yet...good. Thought I'd throw in my 2 cents worth on that and some other things for ya. Alright, first thing to decide is how you honestly feel the "stable" will be used: mainly as just a garage/secure carpark, or do you plan to outfit it with stuff like rolling toolboxes and actual "garage/workshop" type stuff? Here's why:

For a "working" garage (toolboxes, benches, Pirelli calendars...and will actually be working on your cars in it), your best floor option would be the epoxy resin floor coating. It looks nice, it DOESN'T STAIN (BIG bonus), cleans up/hoses off very easily and doesn't get slippery. However....and I think this might be a BIG however for you and your wide-rubber shod babies...the epoxy resin floors make rubber tires VERY noisy when driven on. Especially when you're moving very little, but turning the front wheels left-right. This could get annoying if you're not interested in a "garage" garage.

Now...for a classy, country estate motorcar domocile, you'd probably be happier with something a bit more cultured...like the tiled floor in some of the "dream garage" pics you posted. These can also be made to be stain-resistant...but if you're on your back on a creeper under the car, it'll feel more like you're trying to rock-crawl in a Mini! It's also not too fun trying to roll a floor-jack around on a surface that's anything but smooth and even.

Fortunately, you have another possibility....do BOTH. Since you have redesigned the garage to have two double-bay sized doors (and they're kind of placed so they're not really lined up with each other, due to the fact that it was originally not a four-car garage...which helps with this idea), you could have the best of both worlds. Have the side where your Bimmer was parked in your pics...which appears will be the more-frequently used side (i.e.- the one you'll be in and out of daily) because it's closer to the "flow" of the driveway...as the "showroom" side, with the pretty flooring, and the other side with the "shop" floor. Kind of a "showroom-with-a-shop-in-the-back" (sort of...) kinda layout. I hope that makes sense, and hope I'm seeing it right in your pics. :? 8)

Just an idea to ponder...heh.

As for the rest of the place, security- and internet-wise...the sky's the limit, really. Although from your description of how far away your closest neighbor is, it doesn't sound like you need to go overboard on the security (unless ya wanna....heh). I always like the idea of Channel Plus modulators when designing a video surveillance system. Channel Plus modulators basically connect your security cameras to your home video distribution system...making it so that, say (on any TV in the house) channel 91 shows the camera at the driveway gate, channel 93 is the camera at your front door, channel 95 is one of the garage cameras....and so on. You acknowledged someone else's observation of in-wall speaker wires to be already installed (or being installed), so if that's not completely finished yet, it would be the ideal time to add coax, S-Video and some Cat. 5E cable to those cable runs. Not that you'd be needing them right away, but they'd be there for future upgrades without tearing out pieces of wall finish.

Oh....and whenever you're ready to do a "Jabba-class" home theater that can integrate all the security, internet and A/V distribution systems....lemme know. Ummmmm....you WILL need a room with carpeting, though, lmao! Wood floors are just not conducive to a surround-sound environment. Well, not ideally.

SO.....when are we all comin' out to your new love shack for a house-warming tea??? :P :lol: I'll bring my QuadZilla over when you get the quad track built, too!!

Seriously, congrats on the new digs. I'm quite sure you're going to be happy with the new home.

Pyro

P.S. - What?!!?? No heli-pad?!?! :lol: :lol:

[Jabba]

I have at long last moved in and hence where I have been for the last few days...(no internet connection yet and just came back to my office to especially upload 5th gear for everyone) I did manage to get out in the babies for a few hours as the weather was quite nice for some of easter.

More interior pictures coming tommorow..

BTW the "red LED" in the picture illuminates when the "beam" is broken preventing the garage doors from closing....I have found a second use for it however as a parking aid...when the light goes out I know the cars are in enough and can go a few more feet as well. Hope you like the pictures.

My fuck, CRAZY pics!!! What a great sunny day Jabba! Thanks!!!!!!

[toprpm]

nice photos jabba

what a weird way to park the lambo ....?

[1zippo1]

Simply awesome pics. The house looks twice as good with those cars in front of it!!!

Some random things I noticed: One of the best styling aspects of the 355 IMO: the rear lights, the grille (probably not the good word, but don't know how to say it otherwise) above the engine. And those doors on the diablo are just very cool. Too bad the Gallardo don't have those. I wonder how much it would cost to fit those kinda doors to a Toyota Yaris :P J/K :wink:

[dropot2]

Thank you for this great shots Jabba! It's always a pleasure to see your beauties! :D

LOL, I wouldn't even had noticed!

The cars look great, as always. Love the 355, it's just so good looking.

I see the Diablo fits the normal way. I thought you were parking it sideways cause it wouldn't fit!

[PATo355]

Gr8 pics , nice to see a sunny day in the Uk , i bet everytime you have the oportunity you take the roofs off :D

[Jabba]

That was the picture that made me go and get my camera in the first place brembo...I thought it was just cause I hadnt seen the 355 for a while...it just seemed so gorgeous at that angle....anyway gald you liked them and some inside house pics tommorow I hope.

[TT]

anyway gald you liked them and some inside house pics tommorow I hope.


LOL, I hope you don't plan to drag the 355 actually inside the house :D

[cho_888]

hey, jabba just wondering, does that roof cover when put over the engine effect the engine note or is it mostly from the exhaust

[DeMoN]

ohh the sunny day pics! Looking great!

Does that mean I get a hold of one of them to add the signatures?

BTW, its nice to see a big house and those great sports car. Not like most of the big housed people with the boring merc's

the PC set up is always amazing to see even without the multiscreen. I love the screen with all the security cams on it :D
Not to talk about TV set and harmchair :D
The automated recording device is crazy! I still wonder how it can "understand" what to record! But it seems to work :D
The tiles look perfect IMO :D

[Jabba]

Thanks for all the comments TT.....the tiles are a bit better after some hard scrubbing at the weekend...

All the security cameras will be viewable directly on JW (if anyone wants to view them of course) as soon as my ADSL arrives.

nice sit man .....loved the way you moniter home and watch JW on computer and watch Tv in same time ...


what kind of eqipment you use to time the recording of the TV show ..

[stradale]

Oh man, the pictures of the cars were fantastic!!! :P I could look at that all day. The Lambo fits nicely in the garage.

Great system as well. That helps you a lot I can imagine. Does it encode the video as well or do you need to do that after recording?

BTW, thanks for your efforts to give us 5th Gear! Really appreciate that. Two reviews coming up from me soon.

[Jabba]

Sadly the system encodes with an mpeg type of compression but has great quality...I still have to add the JW logo and re-encode into DIVX but it just takes the worry out of missing some great shows more than anything.

[cho_888]

the house is coming together now that the cars and teh computers are in. The wood and tiles look really high quality and when its done will be great! Out of interest how high are the ceilings? BTW. nice suit

[Jabba]

Damn you dont miss a trick do you !!

Not sure about the height of the ceilings except to say that they are indeed quite high in some of the rooms.

I am just having everything polished up right now...let me know demon how you want the cars parked and I will get the photo for the new sigs...

Cheers

Jabba

[cho_888]

lol, i like picking out the details of your photos. Especially the Tv, becasue we havnt had digital TV in Aus up until very very recently and you have to subscribe. We have it thank god only you cannot do a lot yet. Has it made a difference in england? Another BTW what sort of sound system is that?

[Jabba]

It is still very expensive in the UK but not as expensive as me dashing home to record shows for JW all the time.

The sound system is nothing major just a Sony home cinema setup complete with active subwoofer (want to go for a proper projection system one day)

[cho_888]

oh very nice! My friend recently extendted his house and he left one room for a theatre and one for the pool table. They are getting red curtins all the way around the room with a projector and denom amplifier which is the top of the range. We have one and they are great. the loudest we get it is -5. which is a lot, however at the point stuff fall of shelfs

[Jabba]

Excellent...yes the pool table is the only thing I am desperate for and dont have a room for right now...(one for either an 8x4 pool table or 12x6 snooker table) I hope to eventually build a dedicated games room one day with maybe a couple of racing simulators in there as well.

[cho_888]

yes this is the problem we had, you can get a 12X6 and then you ahve a full size. however then it becomes hard to paly. when people come around small people have trouble and all round isnt as social. I will get you some pics.

nice new sig

[cho_888]

here we go, i found this. Now i wasnt trying to take a photo of the table of the table but its a start. I will take some proper ones tomorrow.

Bet you are really pleased with the 56k! :shock: :lol:

Cool...do you play much snooker then cho ?

[Jabba]

Looking good. A pool table would be nice!

Bet you are really pleased with the 56k! :shock: :lol:

Only one word to describe it...HELL !!!

[jon_s]

Oooooh, do you get the dial up tone? I remember my old one went something like this:

De De, DE dodo, crewwwwww ik............ lol oh the joy of a 56k


Have you got room for a possible future extension? One of my mates has had a room added for a full size snooker table and pool tabe :shock: I dare not ask him the costs involved!

What about a loft conversion? Have a games room up there. I bet the people who would be bringing the table in would love you for putting it in the highest place in the house! lol


Obviously, these are all future projects, as I suspect that the Jabba pockets may be deep, but not bottomless!
8)

edit:
I am sure there are outdoor pool tables that can get wet. Sure I saw one on MTV Cribs lol

haha, found some:
http://www.tribilliards.com/outdoor.html

Not sure they suit the British style of living though :?

[Jabba]

Obviously, these are all future projects, as I suspect that the Jabba pockets may be deep, but not bottomless!

How true that is.

There is just over an acre for future projects and there wasnt much trouble getting planning permission for the other out buildings...so who knows....

Yeh the modem is so shit I am putting all the videos onto CD or DVD and then driving back to my office and uploading them from there.

[TT]

Dang I think I could almost kill for a snooker table here with me :D

[coombsie66]

I wudnt bother wiv a snooker table, 2 of me mates have em, and unless you are well into snooker, the games take too friggin long! And its bloody difficult. We have a slate bed 'pub' style pool table, which is just fine for having a few games and beers wiv the mates.

[Jabba]

Nice to see the security for the babies are up and runing, it just shows the area where its pointet, and when there is movment it starts recording right?



Yep quite correct the system has a HD built in that starts to record video when it detects movement in the areas specified by you...you can also adjust the senstivity to exlcude moving trees etc.

The quality recorded is very good with none of the streaks you get with a simlar VHS recoding system...it also has a very powerful search function so you can find the exact piece of video on any day or time that you are interested in.

It currently has a removable 120 GB HD that starts to overwrite after about 7 days.

I wudnt bother wiv a snooker table, 2 of me mates have em, and unless you are well into snooker, the games take too friggin long! And its bloody difficult


Uhm.. basically that's the essence :D and of course you won't buy one if you are not into snooker :D am I wrong? :D

[jon_s]

Hahaha, playing snooker is always funny. I miss the holes by about a foot! lol Pool on the other hand, now that is somehting I can play........sort of.

Jabba, if lets say you wanted to give the police a copy of the HD, how would you go about it? Or do you just give them the HD? Leaving things a bit exposed while they have it.

[Jabba]

Yes I am well into snooker...and I love pool as well....the only thing with pool is that a much less skillful player than you can still win where as snooker takes a greater consistency of skill that exposes the "lucky" player up IMO.

[jon_s]

[quote="Jabba that exposes the "lucky" player up IMO.[/quote]

:shock: runs and hides............. lol

[Jabba]

Jabba, if lets say you wanted to give the police a copy of the HD, how would you go about it? Or do you just give them the HD? Leaving things a bit exposed while they have it.

The HD is just a standard one on a PC carrier...basicly you can just yank it out and put another one in and a 120 gig HD is about £70...you could also put the HD in ya PC and take the video off it and put it back in again blank (a bit like taking the memory card out of you digital camera and downloading the pictures to your PC)

[Jabba]

[quote="Jabba that exposes the "lucky" player up IMO.

:shock: runs and hides............. lol[/quote]

Not saying that pool doesnt require skill...but lets just say you pot the black off ya break off shot...you have lost before the other guy has even taken a shot !!!

[jon_s]

I was running to hide due to my lack of skill! lol, I am one of those really annoying people who suddenly get good after exactly 2 pints. The problem is maintaining that level lol

Oh, and on the subject of Snooker, I take it you are looking forward to this weekend!

[Jabba]

Oh, and on the subject of Snooker, I take it you are looking forward to this weekend!

Yep its crucible time again and once again I wait for another JW to lift the world title...and he seems to have come into a bit of good form with him just winning his first ranking title in 12 years....

[yg60m]

Well, it takes form :D What are the rooms in progress now ? I didn't read all the topic :oops: but follow it nonetheless.
Just a question, do you have the project to buy a plasma screen ? The big TV is cool but a friend has one and you don't see the image very well if you're not exactly in the right angle. I know that it's not the same price but ...

[TT]

The White vs Hunter match was absolutey stunning one the other day :D

But why do you speak about the upcoming weekend? I know there should be another tournament this month, but not so soon.. am I wrong? The match I refer in the first line is the Glasgow final obviously...

[jon_s]

You can't beat the crucible! I can't wait!

Now, on the topic of your games room! I have been thinking! What kind of style are you after in the pool table? Pub style of modern?

Here are some nice tables:

http://www.snookersports.com/ they also sell these American style slate pool tables: http://www.olhausenbilliards.com/home.php?id=1

here are some balls!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3671799284&category=1292

Then Perhaps a kind of mini bar? Just so that I can play well you see lol
Perhaps something like this:

Yes you are indeed right about the angle...its fine while you are at eye level that will be right for one person but if you have guests then unless they are in a simlar position then viewing might not be as good for them...

The 56" is now a bit on the small side when you are using the computers at the back of the room so I guess the next thing has got to be a decent projector system with an automatic electric screen.

I have been looking into projection screen stuff. It is hella spendy if you get an entire decent system...amp, speakers, projector, screen e.t.c BUT ohhhhhh the quality!

In fact, I am going to build you a system later on this evening. Give me a hypothetical budget to work with.

[Jabba]

There are some real beautys in home cinema review....although I saw one system for £50,000 and it looked more like £500

If I spent £50,000 on a system I would want people cueing up to buy tickets to come in and watch the fucker...JW members come in free of course :wink:

as far as home theatre, i love my reciever... its IMO the best brand $$ can buy. it is a Dennon AVR series. im not rich, so my tv is just ok for a 2 bedroom apartment, but ive seen one absolutely amazing projector tv from Texas Instruments, as they are the leader in digital Lumes. eventually, i plan on upgrading my speakers to JBL or Acustic Research towers, and powered sub.

look s like you have a lot of good suggestions :)

No way Jabba. This house is worthy of an hour long episode of CRIBS.

It's good (in an interesting way) to see the problems you have had, the ideas suggested etc... :D

BTW - For the garage, how about getting the signs from a dealership. You know the ones they have on the wall, moulded out of plastic. I saw one at the new Ferrari dealership in Manchester
Like the one at the top of this pic.

http://www.stratstoneferrari.co.uk/graphics/external.jpg


AND... if you still want an M3 CSL, you can get one here at http://www.williamloughran.co.uk/bmwmenu.html

£53K, 900 miles, climate control.... i bet it's tempting :wink:

and the F50 @ www.dkeng.co.uk

[Jabba]

Yeh there is a simlar sign on ebay that I was looking at...and yes I know them at DK...they dont usually have the best example Ferraris but they sure do get hold of some interesting stuff.

[No.1]

Yeah.. the F50 has done 10000km (or is it miles)...

Personally, i wouldd go with my idea for the signs, but i guess i am a bit biased :wink:

Anyway.. i have been here for well over an hour now... i had better get some sleep :D

[bmwfreak]

A pool table. A bar section. Hmm....

Jabba, sponsor me a ticket from here to the UK! I wanna come over! Pretty please??

[Jabba]

Dont have a bar or pool table yet sadly.

I love the picture of teh yellow 355 on the wall.

[stradale]

excellent....where did you get those pictures from ????

IMO a combination of the two would look absolutely great. I adore the race-seat-chair, bTW.

I found them on http://www.ferrarichat.com

[Jabba]

Yeh that chair looks the Nutz....

[novass]

Holy shit stradale! Fantastic pics. That is a damn fine lookin house. I like the wall of miniature cars too. And that chair is superb as well. Ive seen a few Bride racing seats bolted onto rollers/casters like that. That is definitely on my list of things to get.

[TT]

Indeed, amazing find! The F355 desk is sure impressive :D

[stradale]

I went out and did a search for garage pics as well on Fchat and I came up with a lot of stuff. Maybe it gives you some inspiration for your own garage.

[McLarenF1God]

The etched window is beautiful, but that reminds me...

I recently etched the Ferrari logo and name onto a glass dish, I'll try and get a picture up. Thanks for that reminder.

[meetmeroundthecorner]

Nice house Jabba!! 8) Gots lots of land there, v.nice indeed!! :D Touching £1mill seems like a very fair price considering the area and amount of land.

[PATo355]

This is the best one Jabba , with that touches it looks less a garage and its like the cars are inside the house , simply astonishing , if you have space you can put a bar maybe .... a table to play cards ....

Nice, that tub looks a bit fuckin technical!!! Like the towel rail too :wink:
Nice bathroom suite choice aswell, all goes together nicely and will be pretty timeless i'd say.
How are you hiding the pipes behind the basin pedestal?? Is there another section to go in there, or are they being boxed in?

[Jabba]

Not sure at this stage.

[Anonymous]

Very nice Jabba, good choice of bathroom suite not overly fancy just nice clean lines rather than really ornate fixtures/ design features. And of course the tub looks great and looks even bigger to me, now the bathrooms coming together. Also i love the classic style window which is also looks considerably bigger than you would get in most bathrooms I have seen and seems to let in a hell of a lot of light. Very cool place that i'm pleased to see coming together nicely 8) 8) BTW i hope you get some time to enjoy it after all the effort :wink: :)

[Jabba]

OMG GREAT JABBA!!

the cars look, great, the ferrari engine is CLEAN , i guess you forgot to show us the lambo engine :wink:

BTW, in the future can we see some pics of the pool??

looking great every day

[No.1]

Some great pics... the house is coming along nicely Jabba 8)

[yg60m]

LOL, now that she saw the pics of your house and your cars, my wife wants to make a trip to england :lol:

[gis]

some more great pics jabba.glad everythin is goin ok.the cars look great as always :D

[666fast]

I see that at the beginning of the pics, only half of the lawn is mowed, but at the end of all the pics, the entire thing is mowed. So, did you get bored with mowing and decide to take pics or what? LOL :lol:
Your lawn is far bigger than I had thought it was. It's actually pretty damn big!

Great pics though, the cars (and lawnmower) look beautiful. When was their last wash and polish? They look very clean.

Congrats on the house again, I bet you can't wait untill you are all settled in huh?

[coombsie66]

Why's the lambo parked like that now?? :wink: :wink: :P
Looks like the beast is more than up to its grass cutting duties. Is it just the angle or does your pool really need cleaning!??
U wanna get a cover, they save a small fortune in heating costs too!

[fishfreek]

A damn fine house. Two damn fine cars and 1 damn fine lawnmower. :)

[Erez]

great work there with the pics jabba!
but i was sure we all agreed to link them (cars at least.. :) ) to higher res :lol:
i sure hope things will end up just how you want them after al this work!

[stradale]

Quite enjoyed that set of pictures there, Jabba. Wonderful stuff. The bathroom is coming along nicely I see and the cars are amazing as always. Like someone else already mentioned, there very very clean, interior, exterior and also the engine bay. Wow...

[TT]

As the others, I loved the last set of pics :D now a question LOL in a couple of the first shot you can see a blue Bimmer (probably).. some sort of older 5-Series maybe? Jabba's friends? :D

Bloody eagle eyes there TT :shock: :lol: you really must have studied those pics its recent cos you can see the mower in the forth pic down next to a blue car (at least i think its blue looks kinda dark bluey purply to me probably as i'm colour blind :lol: ) kinda ironic that a colour blind design student!! :D

[TT]

Yes I'm not sure at all.. just that the blue kinda reminds me the dark blue you often see on E39s ;) but it's to far away to give final judgement :D

[robruf]

jabba is so rich

[TT]

What a deep and polite comment after 40 pages :roll:

Lol I agree totally TT not really his place to judge, Jabba has to work hard for the things he has from what i know and is therfore i'm not really sure what he is getting at posting "Jabba is so rich" pointless and spam like quite a few of his posts

I thought you might like the before and after pictures of the driveway 666fast as we discussed this many weeks ago when we were talking about pressure washing.

I tried to do the same with the lawn (before and after pictures) but its not a dramatic improvement at the moment as I haven't done a "short" cut yet.

The pool is a disaster the previous owners have neglected it for quite some time it would seem and at the moment it looks like something that the creature from the black lagoon would live in.

I have no idea where to start on it as all the local swimming pool companies are well known ripp off's that just want to sign you up to a maintenance contract. The last one being a staggering (imo) £50 per WEEK !

I dont think thats a bimmer, it looks more like a skoda octavia or a vw passat IMO.....but I can be wrong of course, only jabba can tell.... :)

AMAZING yes indeed it was some visitors that have a skoda octavia.

Well im helping out at home this summer as we are venturing upon building a 32x16 hopper shaped liner pool. We have had subbies in on the jobs where they have been put in before and they are rip offs! So we are trying to do ours as well, and cost effectively as possible. My parents have made contact with a majour manufacturer of the pool goods and we might be becoming an authorised distributor (nice discount :wink: ).
2 of my friends had pools put in at their houses, so we are learning all the time. Is yours a liner pool, or tiled?
As the liner pools do go very green, and look terrible, but with a good pool vacum cleaner and a bit of elbow grease they do come up fine. You should definately get a cover on it after you clean it for the 1st time tho.
During the season my friend cleans his ever 10 days odd, and then when they turned the heating off at the end of september they didnt clean it till april, and it came up fine. All chemicals and things can be bought relatively cheaply as well, its just those kind pool men who like to charge a fortune!!

Nice wheels on that octavia, are they 17 inch ACE's?

[TT]

Oh yes by my grandparents we have a pool in the garder too.. and it's not all that bad to clean. I don't remember why, years ago, for a couple of months before the winter (-> and the surface of the water turning to ice), we all forgot to put the products to keep the water clean, and since it was already to cold to bathe, the water was immobilized already... then well, call it lazyness or whatever, winter came, the water became ice and underneath all was a very nice lime green :D well finally Spring came and around March the pool was emptied and it took just some hours to clean and take it back to normal. Ok it's not very big, like 10 x 4 meters maybe, but still, it was looking way worst that it actually was ;) and IMO once the pool will be back at its normal standards, you don't need a crew of people taking care of it.. if the water is moving and the product put inside on a regular basis, you won't need any major cleaning. We call the maintenance guys maybe once every two years, and mainly for small painting jobs, never for cleaning.. but again.. our pool is smaller.

[wahhaj]

more great pics Jabba, I'm sure the house will be fit for a king once its all finished, that bathroom is certainly coming together nicely... and a nice big garden :), and of course the cars :D, you can't post too many pics of those italian beauties 8)

[Zonda11]

My pool gets opened and closed every year by a pool company - but we do the rest. Too bad that it's hard to find someone to get you started. We're lucky to have a good friend who has a pool company.

The pool is not open yet - hope the weather gets better!

The pool is not looking so hot right now.

I actually did notice the driveway LOL, it looks very good IMO. Brick driveways loook a million times better than a normal concrete driveway. It adds a lot to the house's look. Have you put any chemicals down on it to stop weeds from growing inbetween the bricks?
Were you ever able to find that Simple Green stuff?

[tanelvali]

Very cool new pictures! Love the ones with the cars... And now seeing what kind of hay.. khm GRASS is growing then I understand why you had to buy new red vehicle.. :)

[Jabba]

Still lots of fine tuning needed...but I am begining to see light at the end of the tunnel I think.

thanks nice jabba, things are really coming together. Is that quad monitor system back up and running? I love that fire place, will you use it?

[Jabba]

Yep all systems are go for the 4 GHZ system...and just in time for top gear.

No plans for the fireplace just yet...but I agree it would be a nice feature for Xmas.

[Erez]

nice pics jabba! love the living room!
http://www.jabbasworld.net/jpics/070504/3.JPG

looks cool!

BTW! we have the same keyboard :D :lol: only mine is mainly silver not black..

[Jabba]

One question is it possible to turn the "legs"of the monitors the other way so you get more space on your desk?

To be honest brembo this has been one of the major disappointments so far...I wanted the monitors head on like in my previous setup (that I think you mean) but sadly they are the perfect height to completely block out the view of the TV behind.

I think I actually prefer the previous setup and of course I would have saved an absolutely fortune on not buying the flat screen monitors or new desk.

http://www.supercarshowdown.co.uk/131204/6.jpg

Maybe I should post some dimensions up and see if someone can design a better setup for me.

post your resolution, i will mkae you a desktop! :D :D Some pics would be cool too
