I'm feeling generous dudeguy, so I'll put together a preliminary floor plan drawing this weekend for you and post it here. I'm no architect, but any monkey can design buildings nowadays with these new fangled CAD programs.

Oooo nice.

Can you do one of thos open air gigs, with the wooden trusses & exposed connection plates, like at a fancy ski lodge, or something?

Of course, now are you able to do the site plan?

Any electrical engineers here able to pitch in to do the lighting/power plans? I don't work well with electricity... I had a bad experience.

Yeah, I can forward that to our Land Devlopment dept. I don't personally do that stuff.

I'll take a stab at the EE. Why not?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would utilize this at a cigar shop (and I'm really going to pat myself on the back for this out-of-box thinking)

Child care center / Kids play room / area.

Think about it. How perfect!

I'll add it to the floorplan... what do the kids need? 100 sq. ft. and some legos?

Anyone able to do a landscape plan?

Also, we'll need a structural engineer involved for my insane rock climbing wall in the middle of the water park...

[buzz]

Prelim plan... still need to add some things like the child care area...



I hope George doesn't mind... instead of a skate park I went with an ice skating rink. I doubt the budget will allow for both.

[ashauler]

Where are the shuffleboard courts / darts / pool tables? Racquetball / squash? No sauna's, hot tubs, or even a lap pool? Oh yeah, where is the walk-in humidor?

I can pitch into the landscape design.....I'm thinking a tobacco patch would look wonderful.

We can go below grade with that stuff.

Buzz, add that to the check prints!

Will do, I'm planning on some basement space for a firing range and we can have a 2nd floor mezzanine area for the child care and conference center.

I'm working on a nice 3D rendering of the front entrance... what are we naming this place? As a place-holder for now I have the signage reading "Cigar Shoppe".

I'm in the mattress business so I guess I could help provide some of those. We are still doing the high end hotel area, right?

Well, of course.

I was thinking, maybe one of those motorcycle wheel of death things would be cool...

[kmandudeguy]

I'm actually an apprentice Sheetmetal worker so I could help with the HVAC. I haven't done any since 1990 though so I'm pretty rusty, but I can bang duct together and hang it like nobody's business. Just don't ask me to do an onsite ogee offset is all.

Also, considering I've spent the last 15+ years in IT with the last 7 specializing in networking I could do all the network cabling for the entire building. I'd suggest 10 Gig fiber optic backbone with Cat 7 cabling to the outlets from the patch panels.

Don't forget on the blue prints to add a data center. It should be big enough for at least 10 APC server racks (I was thinking 5 but one should always double their expectations to allow for growth). Don't forget the integral, redundant UPS's (2 x 100 KvA ought to do) and separate A/C units in the data center. Oh, and you'll need a backup generator as well. A bloody big one as it'll have to run all the power for the whole building. Might be better to have a separate gennie for the data center but that would be up to the electrical engineer.

What about a Casino? Nobody's mentioned that and I'd love to be able to sit and smoke a cigar while playing Texas Hold'em.

Oh yeah, gotta have some hot tubs and a sauna! Good thinking Jamie. I like the idea of a tobacco patch too. Wouldn't there be a need for some storage rooms for the tobacco so it can age? Maybe we should be thinking about hiring a couple cigar rollers too. I volunteer for quality control!

Has anybody mentioned a golf course or maybe just a driving range???

Oh you know what would be REALLY cool..........if we put it all together on a cruise ship!

Or a space shuttle. How kick ass would that be?

Answer: very kick ass!!
