Stop talking start digging  ;)



Yeah this is the way to build a man cave, just dig a hole in the woods  :D

You guy's wanna help or keep on discussing the legal site of things? :P Any suggestions regarding must have mancave toy's are welcome.



What are all the tubes doing? Keeping the water level down or freezing the ground so the sides dosent cave in?

Those pipes indeed keep the water level down. Ground freezing is very expensive and only used for very large projects (thinks in terms of tens of millions of euros) where lowering the ground water level is almost impossible, or even dangerous.

Anyway, this looks like another epic gameroom build thread. I love this forum!  :)
No arcade cab(s) yet, but happy owner of 2 Colecovisions, 2 Amigas and a pc running Mame.

Great project!
Tron or Tron Legacy... whatever, it's the "neo/futuristic" arcade gaming/image spirit who matters here  :)

Good luck on this!

 :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

Thanks  :)

Wow, indeed a very large hole so far  :o

How many m² are you planning to build underground? And what will be on the surface? A house for living?

And a question to lowering the water level....the water will return, isn't this going to be a problem?

If you stop the pumps, the hole will fill up with water right away. You will have a nive duck pond  :) When constructing the cave you have two options, long poles the anchor the construction to the underground, or put enough weigth on top to keep it submerged... Otherwise it will floating up like a boat.
