Heh, same here, I have a project thread going in Arcade Misc. Big update coming soon when I have time. |

Looking good Jav! Was it a little nerve wrecking when the back hoe started digging right up against the house foundation? |

Thanks guys! It has definitely been stressful - they just shut off the kitchen sink today and we didn't have laundry last week. We lose our only bathroom in a few weeks too. We have been saving for this project since 2008 and our lives have basically been on hold. I haven't even built an arcade cabinet since 2009. First order of business is building one for my son next summer once this project is completed! This week they broke through the foundation wall and installed 2 steel beams in my existing basement. This enabled them to remove all of the support columns. Next week they are jack-hammering my existing basement floor to bring it down a few feet to be level with the excavated portion. Then the foundation walls and slab go in and they are off to the races. Since my property is so small they have had a hard time with logistics - for example, they can't get a dump truck into my back yard so they have to take each scoop of dirt to the front of the house where the truck is parked. Stuff like that. I am excited though. |

Was it hard to get construction after the storm? You're in the northeast right? Seems like all those construction guys would have plenty of emergency repair work. |

Wow, with a lot that close to everything else and that size, I'm surprised you got the permits. Here the neighbors would have sued until we were all dead. |
