Very late reporting this so excuse me. I also couldn’t find the right thread for this, so feel free to move it.
Most of my pins have been kept at my office for various reasons including quality space at home.
Our decision to re-home the company earlier in the year gave me impetus to sort out a home for them.
I didn’t have a ton of land and my wife likes the small garden, we had considered moving but decided against that, anyway I knew moving would mean her finding somewhere for other expensive four legged creatures (horses). So in the end we decided to reshape things a little.
Anyway I decided that the carport area would be fine as a pin room and house 7-10 machines - fine for a personal game room of a collection that had got to 18 at one point. I also decided I wanted a workroom/pinshack that I could use to mod and tinker with stuff - big enough in theory to house 2 projects.
First I had to get rid of the carport contents, which was my greatly loved black 911 4S, bought with cash my father had left. It was a nobrainer really as I couldn’t drive and still can’t - but at some point hope to again. (Don’t go having a stroke, it’s quite inconvenient)
With the car sold, the idea was to utilize the space and small out building (full of crap from previous owner) as my pin area.
Using the existing shell and roof allowed work to be swift and the basis for the room took a few weeks.
First of a few tons of rubble...
Drive gone.
Roof starting to go.
Starting flooring.
New end of the space.
Kept myself sane by putting a bar In the garden on some new decking.
