The planning and built of My Gameroom

[Etienne MacGyver]

Yes, it this case there is a fixture behind it, but...

I know there exist just 19" panels with holes for these switches, and separate switches that fit in there..

so that will only take up about 3 - 4 cm of depth..

Artikelnr:32-057440 , black case red switch 3,75€ pp
Artikelnr:30-057435 , white case red switch even cheaper, 3,55€ pp

The metal 19" rack strip, i also need to find, dont know how they call that

And this is just a google search, maybe there is another supplier that can deliver them even cheaper.

the term i used is "wipschakelaar"

Looking good Erik!!

great, erik! did you do that yourself?

Partly, I designed the electricity schema (where to put wall sockets, wall and ceiling lightning, etc), but the actual wiring schema was done by an electrician, it looks pretty complicated to me. I'm afraid that if I would do the wiring, the lights in the nearby village would go out if I turn the lights in the gameroom on.    Or even more likely, nothing would happen at all.

With the schema in my gameroom I will be able to:
- turn 26 cabs on/off per pair of two
- turn the 6 ceiling lights on/off per pair of two
- turn other sockets on the ceiling and walls on/off individually
- turn on/off outer lightning
- etc.

The 'control panel' next to the door will have 30 switches to turn on/off stuff.

Wow, 26 cabs!!! Weeeeeh!!!
Like the way you can turn stuff on and off pair wise!!!!

Looks like your'e going for "normal" switches afterall ?

Do i see it correctly that this stays "outside" of the wall ?
or is there comming a box around ?

Yep. There will be a frame arounf the switches of course, and the whole 'panel' will be surrounded by a small cabinet, also useful to put all the keys in etc.

Another, weekend gone by, and more progress with the gameroom.









Here is a picture of the other side of the shed, this room will be used for general storage, parking place for my motor bike, etc. And I noticed a twin in it also, some strange looking cabs, wonder where they came from   What to do with them?    Don't know. 



They have a nice dry and clean spot there, and they are not standing in the way. So if someone knows the two, don't be afraid, they can stay a while longer if needed. 

Oh, and here is a picture of the ingredients for my real-life game "sheep hunt". Still 4 to go.



and if the sommer gets very hot, and I'm tired of gaming, then I will just take a dive in our ...




Allright, next weekend another update, I hope.
