Rooms in the basement:

- Arcade (space for 7 vids, 2 pins, 1 air hockey table)
- Bar/gaming area for D&D/cards/drunken debauchery, which is open to . . .
- TV room. It's not a home theater, alas, but it will have a wide screen TV. We don't watch very often, but Battle Star Galactica on a big old screen is a must!
- Exercise room/dojo with mats on the floor for jujitsu
- full bath
- guest room

Gonna be finished just before Christmas!

You can fit multiple pins and/or cabs in that space instead.

Unless those are all for Smurfs, your basement is bigger than mine.

That sounds like the size of the basement at the home where I picked up my Super Breakout cab.

Yeah but what you lack in a basement you make up for with that great slacker-able job!!!

Which is then repealed on the basis of his double digit yearly salary.

Nobody works in a school because of the great pay, that's for sure.

I see a common thread among the posters who don't make much cash.

Stingray · « **Reply #50 on:** October 28, 2005, 04:43:24 pm »

I make enough to live comfortably and buy myself a new toy now & then. I have a job that doesn't require me to work very hard. Life is good.

whoa. cool. I think I can come close... Arcade/bar room that opens to the spa tub (good combination, booze, water and vids!). That room for now opens to a tv/console room (the kid's living room) with a couple of couches, wall unit and tv, then a large hallway with a slot machine and ms pac cocktail, then a wine room, a full bath, 1 bedroom, a home office, workshop/tool room and finally a workout room.

I like the sounds of yours where the bar is separate from the vids. I'd have to kick the kids out of their sitting room to do that, and then they'd just take over the theatre room upstairs, so forget that. :sigh: maybe when 2 or three of them move out I can get some more space! (One of the upstairs bedrooms is going to be a model train room...like one of those crazy old guys with trains...tunnels and all that stuff.)

Close, heh, you just zoomed right past me! I had to give up my train room *sniff! sniff!* to have the dojo. It was a tough call

It's not as grand as it may sound, the rooms are a bit compact. The arcade room is 13' by 15' for instance...

Umm.... There are several belts in the art, I'm not sure the name has anything to do with my belt color. White-Yellow-Green-Blue-Purple-Brown-Black

You need to measure from the TV spot to where the couch is and go from there.

I would get either a Samsung/Panasonic DLP TV or if you have alot of other Sony A/V equipment I would get a Sony.
