The planning and built of My Gameroom

[ckong]

Great progress Erik! - though, why did´nt you put in a heating floor?

I will, in the final floor:

..... To be precise, the floor will be build up like this:
1. thin plastic layer (you can see it on the pics)
2. 5 cm. insulation
3. 12 cm concrete in which a 6mm² steel wire frame is embedded (the wire frame is put on bricks, and therefore 'floats' 6 cm above the insulation
4. again 3-4 cm pressure resistant insulation on which the floor heating tubes will be attached
5. 6-7 cm cement floor, which will be smoothened out (vlinderen) on the surface. In this cement floor a 4mm² steel wire frame will be placed.

Last week I had to remove some small trees which were standing in the way of the shed. so, on a Wednesday afternoon my 'gardner boy' and I removed 7 of them. It went pretty quick. Here are some pics of the last one:











After a few hours we were done, and this is the result



But an hour later everything was cleaned up and I had 3 large piles of branches etc.





The piles will be there until Easter next year, when we have the annual Easter Fire:





Here are some more pictures of this tradition: http://www.contact-barchem.nl/Paasvuur_2010.html

The piles will be there until Easter next year, when we have the annual Easter Fire:

We also have this tradition in our small villages in Belgium, every year around March 
And to be more precise, the people who light the fire are the last couple married of the year.
Because my wife and I got married late in December... the honor was our, see my wife   



Nope, this is not the Burning Man, this is the huge fire in my village

oh my godness, you almost got squashed by a tree!!!

oh my godness, you almost got squashed by a tree!!!

Well yes, I stumbled and fell. But nothing happened because we did saw the tree down in two parts. The pictures are of the second part, only a couple of meters of trunk were left. So nothing could happen. I just pulled the rope becaue I didn't want the trunk to fall on the foundation.

By the way, this wasn't the last tree, as I mentioned. I just noticed that the tree right behind the chansaw murderer sawyer was really the last one.

The door will be 93 cm wide. I won't be able to transport games through the garagedoor to the gameroom because there will be a wall between the garage and the gameroom. However, I probably will make a door also in that wall.
