Pin/chill out room build

[M4carp]

Chippy here in the morning to fit door and some outside panel work, after I have painted it he is putting the flooring down (my knees are dodgy) then skirting/architrave which will be later in the week. I’ve got to put the sockets in and break into a 100amp armoured cable high up in the garage that feeds an outbuilding and split it, that will be fun.
Order a/c and tv, fit. Get machines in and get hammered.
Then apparently I have loads of gardening work to do

breaking into that cable will be hell - how are you going to do that!?

Hacksaw and probably a lot of swearing, terminate in some connection blocks that I’ve got laying about. I fitted that 100amp cable about 18 years ago and that was a pita.

Good work I’ve spent a while sorting my man cave

The worst thing about it it only holds one pin

And I have door, not just any door....................⏱

But is it a door wide enough to get a machine through

Chris.

 

[M4carp]

Ohh **** I better check

 

[M4carp]

Painted, started fitting sockets carefully as paint easy scratched

 

[MajesticPinball]

Looks cracking! That shade of purple makes me hungry..... Is that weird?

 

[Bandit Boy]

Looking good....

Have you made a plan of what pin goes where?

 

[Spadge]

My home pin room construction starts next week and should house 8/10 which are in the office.

It’ll be good to have them at home finally. I still can’t play fully due to my dodgy stroke right arm/hand but I’ll get there.

But first I’m working on my decking bar..

Been thinking about that but not come to any conclusion yet except the least popular one goes closest to the tv so it don’t get blocked to often

Good luck with that and your recovery, I had Hodgkin Lymphoma a few years ago but on the other side now not literally though
Be good to get all the machines together, just how they belong
Yes the bar is very important

Chippy cancelled this evening as the weather was nice

Three cheers to recovery and pinball. All I’m missing is response time in my right arm, I don’t have the luxury of a finger as yet!

Give it time and it will return, soon hopefully. Yeah pinball takes you to another place

Carpet tiles and boarding on top of ceiling finished today. Skirting and architrave should be on Tuesday hopefully.
Not long now.

Carpet tiles look great, how much and where from please?

 

[M4carp]

Very happy with my £1 tiles used but great condition, about £7 new!!!
The guy selling is a shop fitter and a nice bloke, made sure the tiles were good.
There are dusty footprints on mine so will look better one vacuumed.

Excited. My pinroom is finally underway as of Tuesday. I think it’ll hold a dozen or so (planning on ten) plus my arcade cab, fridge, stereo.

 

[M4carp]

Me too mate, 10 in a row plus one side ways, 25” mame cab, dj booth and seating/table plus 65” tv that I just ordered
My True kegerator/draught fridge is now just outside the door so I can get one more in☺

 

[M4carp]

Tapped into the 100a feed yesterday, stripped a few screws
Should be all in at the weekend

 

[M4carp]

Skirting, architrave and door on tonight.
Put first machine in to check lighting and it is spot on, no reflections at all.

 

[Banzaipinabll]

looking very nice, well done

Really good even lighting, you can’t beat them.
I used to work in tv/film lighting and these are brilliant especially for the price. Perfect for pinrooms in the right position.
