It' s amazing watching how a game room is building, like the Nuno tread!

Be sure to put the water lead at least 1,50 meter under the ground level !!!

Or else it may freeze !

And gas through those ??

..... but today someone told me that this could give distortion (in the ethernet cable?) and that it is better to have as much distance between the ethernet and the electricity cable.

Spend a few more bucks on STP network cable instead of standard UTP, that has schielding that should eliminates interference

but im almost sure that the normal cable will work, but just be sure

for extra precaution you can take a separate pvc pipe, and take shielded groundcable:

Thanks Flip and Etienne for your information about the electricity and network cables, It will be useful.

You are preparing something of great Erik: respect!

You are definitely living the dream 
Just out of curiosity do you have already decided what you will use to finish the inside (carpet on the floor,color of the walls, windows, ...).
Or maybe I'm moving too fast here and you want to keep it as a surprise for your next posts...

Youre welcome  

i dont know how many power you are going to use in the shed, but maybe its recommended that you bring "3 fase" (380V) to the shed, and from there install a fusebox in the shed where you can devide the 3 cores into 3 seperate groups of 16 Amps
in that way you can suck a total of 220v*16a= 3520w * 3 groups = 10560 Watts

i think 10 Kilowatt will be sufficient to feed the shed  

ps use minimal Cat5e cable or higher with massive core and connect these on the ends instead of crimp connectors:
that will save you alot of headache...



and maybe its useless to mention, but put in 2 cables of ethernetcable, you never know you need more than one cable in the future, or that there is something wrong with one of the cables, in that way you have a "spare" cable witch is ready to go

@chris, I do have some ideas about the interior of the gameroom, but I made no final decions yet. There will be one window in the gameroom, and two doors, one to the outside, and one connection door to the other part of the shed.

@Etienne, another piece of useful information! 

Fortunately I have 'all the time in the world' to think and decide about interior finish and electrical issues. This week the foundation of the shed will be finished (they are making the concrete formwork at the moment, pics later), but then there will be a pause (all because of the delay in the building permit application). Next step will be the actually building of the shed, which is planned to start at 25 October. In the meanwhile, but probably also after October, I will decide how the gameroom and electrical supply has to be done in detail.

That's how the arcade house looks like atm.:

Living room lobby level:


First floor:

The plan:
We have an unused grill terrace behind our house, it's some kind of storage atm.:






It is about 20 m2.
I asked a quotation from 3 different companies to make some wooden and plexi mobile or awning walls for it.
The simplest and chepaer way is something like this, but I ahve to check it's heat isolation:
