Games room expansion

[ianw]

After a few beers, Dan and I, thought we could extend the current games room under the car parking area. The games room is currently partially under ground.

If we dig out the carpark area and then build a new room underground then knock through.

Those that know my place, would building a roof to support cars etc be mad money?

Sounds like a great plan, exactly how drunk were you?
I have a pick and a shovel I can lend you Ian?

I can't speak to what it would cost, but you could potentially have an entire hall under there!

May be a 5/6 pints, and half bottle of wine.

Just opened another bottle....

Think we could add another 1000sqft without going too mad

What's the life span of modern flat roofs?

Carry on drinking, you will have forgotten all about it in the morning.

Genuinely LOL'ed - thank god there's a toilet sign... reminds me of a mate at uni stumbling into my bedroom he was so ****ed and starting to **** up the wall thinking it was the toilet,

From a "getting-machines-in-and-out" POV, a much smaller version of this would be dead handy.

And now I'm thinking about mechanisms based on the screw-thread technology of car servicing lifts (& I don't even have anything resembling this as a possible scenario)

If your plan is to dig out the space, then build a room with a reenforced roof that can take a cars weight, then that sounds perfectly doable.
I have a similar plan for the back of my house to get a bigger kitchen and double garage. The garage is already on the first floor with a workshop below and that was built before the war from what we can tell.

Ian & Dan's new games room starting to take shape...

I get odd ideas too, so I have to believe that this is a great idea. No, it is a Great idea

I know someone that did this in a garden but had an outbuilding on top, wave goodbye to large amounts of money!

I asked pretty much the same question to the builder who’s building my new pin shack, to also go down would of cost me approximately X3 on the cost of my single story at ground level. That’s on easy digging sand, highish water table though.

Pinball bunker sounds cool

 

[Pick Holder]

Mind the cables, waste pipes, drainage and water supplies

But hey. Sounds like a great idea !!!!!

EDPM - expected 50 years, usually guaranteed for 25-30....
