Yesterdays Is Expanding!!
« on: April 26, 2013, 10:00:42 PM »
Well, the gameroom has been getting crowded, and time to expand.  But before starting on this, I need to fix a few things around the house to improve security and to keep from dying of a heart attack doing "too hard" yard work related stuff.    :evil:

First thing:  Protecting and covering the entrance to the game room.

Before, it was wide open, fighting weather and bugs to get in to the game room, not to mention being a scaredy cat going back and forth from the house to the game room in the middle of the night thinking someone might be outside!  One time, the cat came running around the corner out of the dark, and I almost died!  I'm such a sissy.



Before:





Construction begins:


















Floor Painted and sealed:



Lights Up:




Walls going up:









All Done:  Time To Decorate and enjoy.... (hopefully) No more worries about break ins... Some of you will remember the attempted break in a few years back... I tried to find pix, to fix previous post... they are lost.   Joy!!  No More running between in the weather in my underwear where everyone can see!  LOL  ;D











The Second thing to fix before beginning:  Paving in the areas around the game room!  Besides nearly push mowing myself into the grave, rocks keep getting thrown and I'm tired of worrying about breaking windows with flying debris... So lets fix this forever:

Construction Begins:





























How Much Nicer it is now....  No more mowing or weedeater in this space.  ;D





Did you notice the larger A/C unit?   ;D



Prepare the outside! 








Before anyone asks...  No, that is not going to all be the game room... (rats, lol)  it's going to be a storage building too, having this work done at same time!  ;)












What happened here?.... 



This is what is happening.... This wall, It's a Comin' Down!






Gonna be messy for a while!



Stay Tuned!   :pac:  :ghost:  :spaceace:

I LOVE reading good building threads, and I'm pretty sure this is going to be a perfect example of a good building thread  ;D
No arcade cab(s) yet, but happy owner of 2 Colecovisions, 2 Amigas and a pc running Mame.

Hello!   :D    Yes..   Here's the plan:

The new addition is going to be the dedicated "Arcade Game Room" space. (with a place for console gaming too)  Since the majority of my game room is basically a museum, I want to maximize on this orientation.  I'm going to move all the arcade games and related signs, posters, & displays in the new area,  It will stay in the dark with black light illumination... Just like it should!  and now the Yesterdays Sign will be overhead of the entrance ... Like it should be!!  ;D  ;D  ;D  ....and all the now free space in the other side will allow me to display all of my collection, with room to add more!  no more stored stuff!   Happy Happy Joy Joy  ;D

THE nicest looking gameroom here, exactly my taste and now room for a lot more arcade cabs which it was lacking a bit before.

Man, This company is FAST!   

Done Today:   !!!    ;D





They want to complete storage building first, then gameroom addition, since I need to be present when they open the wall up.

You can see that the beams for the game room are placed on the slab and ready to be set, I'll bet they will be tomorrow!
