Thanks Allan, but I can't take credit for the idea. Charlie Campbell who's in one of the pictures had a similar event several years back and the idea stuck with me. We had a great time hosting, and I am thankful to the guys for sharing ideas.

I provided my layout requirements and preferences, scale-sized floor-plan templates for the basement, pencils, markers, and tape-measures for the guys to brainstorm and sketch ideas and concepts.
