I'm building my personal Gaming Room...

[Sonic 1992]

Hey, it was neat to see your lair from the outside all the way around!  It looks tall, does it have a sub floor, or is the building on pier & beam?

Yeps Sonic, I agree my lair is tall... it has a 'partial subfloor', but it can't be used for games  I use that sub floor for ...garden tools 

Ok, I got the wire mesh :



... and a first load of blocks.

Argggg, I wasn't at home when the delivery man came... and he unloaded everything in the middle of my driveway   





So we have to clear to way... and manually move item per item to the right place...



OK, let's place the wire mesh :







Done :

Hmm...by looking at the pics it seems like you are extending your lair in a way that it will end very very close to the border fence. Is that allowed  in Belgium ? Here in Italy every building has to be at least 5 meters from the border line between one's property and another.

Yes Matteo, I'm exactly on the border. Here in Belgium, you have two options :

- At least 4 meters from the border line between one's property and another (That what the previous owner did for the 'garage' (now the "Nuno's Lair"  )

- Exactly on the border (or few cm of course) : my option 

[DarthNuno]

Next step...

I ordered 3.5m3 of concrete... here's the 'mixer truck' 



I don't need to cut the hedge of trees... the truck is doing the job 



On location :



Let's go 



Concrete for The Arcade   











Let's wait few days...

Maybe this has been asked before but will the Galaxian3 Theater find any place in your upgraded arcade room? It seems the room will not be 'that' bigger in the end?

When the upgrade will be done, the entire size (Nuno's Lair V2  ) will be 8 meters x 7,5 meters 

You're right, The Galaxian Theater will have a special *dedicated* room... in the Nuno's Lair V3... Target is 200X

Super ton boulot Darthnuno ! Je t'envie de posséder une si belle collection et de pouvoir lui dédier une pièce aussi chouette. J'ai hâte de voir ton extension terminée (toi aussi, je suppose  )

Pour ma part, je suis un petit nouveau sur ce forum et dans le monde de l'arcade ; j'ai récemment acquis ma première borne ; c'est une borne générique hors d'usage que je suis en train de restaurer (avec quelques petites adaptations de mon cru) pour la "mamiser".

PS : I can also speak English if needed !

Isn't it a little cold to pour concrete Nuno?

[ElPancho]

Your're "x-ing" the last digit only in 200X, hence within 2 years you'll have the theatre up and running, impressive planning. Just kidding, Bruno, good luck with this effort.

Hello Stéphane, and welcome here  It's seems to be the same scenarii for most of us : First a generic cab with a mame setup... l8ter you find a dedicated cab ... then an other one... and an other one... and you've to setup a gaming room for all that stuff 

Feel free to ask anything if you need help for your restoration 

I prefere you to speak english on that board if you don't mind  Thanks  (mais tu peux me retrouver sur le site de gamoover également et en francais dans le texte  )

Isn't it a little cold to pour concrete Nuno?

Yeps, it's a little bit too cold nowadays, but fortunately that works has been done few weeks ago

Yeps... I know 2 years will be very short to complete all these projects... But I guess it's possible  Many thanks for your nice words

Update 



Under the current Nuno's Lair there is one of the four electrical circuits. I'll bring the circuit via this tube...



...to the v2, like this :



Now, THE truck...



...for the emblankment :





Opsss... The lorry driver didn't lay out the emblankment on all the surface 
So we have to lay out everything manually   





Ops, it's late... we stop here :



Tomorrow, after working all the day at my job place... what a nice surprise when I arrive at my home 

My father came during the day and he finished that part of the job :





 

[DarthNuno]

Now, a small layer of sand...



...in order to protect this thick plastic film :



Now, let's place the 'wire mesh' 



...some parts of it have to be cutted :



Ok, all the 'wire mesh' is in place ...



Let's fix all the part together 



Done   

[ArcadeMaze]

Any updates on the new lair?

It's a great day... Here's the starting point :



...Once again... concrete   



Too much concrete... my father is removing the excess of concrete 



Now, he's smoothing it...



Lets wait few days... drying time
