OK, well... the gaming room is full of cab', and I'm sad I cannot display all arcade goodies I own  :?

So, the only solution is to expose all my stuff... on the wall  :roll:

So, I'm buying this for 9.90 € :



The first topic will be for my all times arcade games god : the NAMCO god , and especially three games : StarBlade, Galaxian3 & Xevious  :P



...very rare stuff as you can see : StarBlade long play & Galaxian 3 ... on laser disc, original sountrack, flyers, games...

Overall view :



Nice  :P

Bruno,

I just went through your GameRoom thread again (4th time or so.... :) ) VERY impressive job and I can't wait to see it for real (Finaly !).....

I may borrow an idea or two from your Gameroom, I really like the lighting with the neon tubes....

I will need to completely let it build from the ground up. It will be replacing the small shed I have now. What sizes does your gameroom have (approx.) ?
Trouble is that (as you may know) the ground where I live in Holland is so soft, we need to drive some really long poles (pilotes in French, piling in English according to Bablefish) into the ground before we can start building. Else my Gameroom would sink into the ground over the years....anyway, it's going to cost me quite some money, but what the hell, you only live once ! :)

...but what the hell, you only live once ! :)

That what I'm saying all the time : you only live once... So do what you like now  8)

OK... well, at this point... I don't have free space anymore in my game room  :-\... The latest games I got are everywhere in my house, in every floors, and some are simply not in my house  :shock: And I even don't talk about my Galaxian Theater  :roll: :lol: Thanks for friends who keep a lot of my stuff  until .... until what ???

...until the new version of my game room to build... called :

Nuno's Lair Reloaded or Nuno's Lair V2  ;D

Well, let's see what I can do... here's the situation now... this is the area I would like to use to extend the lair  :arrow:



My first idea was to QUADRUPLE the current size of the room  :shock:

So this time, is not a *simply* garage modification, but a real construction project... and I can't skip legal point of view  :ghost:

I met an official consultant from my town, and I explain him my plan. Things not gonna be easy  :-\ A ton of documents to fill, to ask for ... well, I won't be able to explain all of them in english... 'coz I even don't understand them in french  :?
I don't want to spend a lot of €€€ for this, and unfortunately It's not possible to build a room bigger than 30m2 without having a plan signed by an architect...
Ok, so with the official consultant we found an issue ... it should be possible to DOUBLE the size of the lair without working with an architect. Sounds good to me for the moment but wait  :-\ They are still a ton of documents to fill, certificates to provide, public investigation in my neighborhood, authorizations to request from different legal organization in my country... and of course full room plans to provide... and I've to draw them all  :-\

So weeks after weeks, I go to the official commune's consultant and provide him documents needed to cloture the first part of the file.
Because I'm not an architect, I've to correct each time the draws... what a *pain*  >:(

Ok, while this time... let's start to do things I can do *without* any administration approvals : cleaning the area  :arrow:

...and after more than two months, all the documents are ready to provide to my local administration... except some draws  :(

I'm able to draw most of them... but ... I'm not an architect... so what  ???

And here, I got THE idea !!! Ask to the previous owner of my house if he still has the plans of the garage (which is now my actual game room)... because he should have it when he built it few yeas ago ?

Bingo  :lol: :D He founds them all... and give them to me  :)

Now, I just have to replicate that missing view...  :arrow:



The *complete* dossier is now ready for examination  ::) :P

wow, how did you find the previous owner?? surely the last thing the previous owner want is a phone call from the current owner in case they get a called with the buyer down the line shouting, "F*** you, you sold me a piece of S*** for how much money?!?!?!?!?!?!?"... i know i would.  :'(
