Aaaah the sink...  You should have seen it saturday!  There were a lot of oil paint/varnish stain in it.  I had to use a bit of paint stripper with steel wool to get back that stainless look...

I already installed a door sweep to cover the gap under the door, but I'll follow your advice and add weather stripping around the rest of it.  It will be a 5$/10 minutes well spent...  :cheers:
(I already lost a CD player and a DVD player because of dust...  :cry:)

PS: The joysticks were delivered to my office in Plattsburgh yesterday.  I should get them today in Montreal!!
PPS: I'm currently playing with sketchup.  I'll try to come up with 3D models of the arcade and the vivarium...

:applaud: I just got the joysticks this afternoon  :applaud:
- 2 happ perfect 360
- 1 true 4-way joystick

Terry, at TornadoTerry's made me a special package for a 4-way joystick.  It's similar to the MsPacman 4-way joystick, but without the special adaptator and with different color knobs.

I wasn't sure yet if I should go with black (to match the 360's) or yellow, to match the theme main color...  :dunno
I'll see that later, when I'll work on the CP art.

Now, the only things missing on the electronic side is a keywiz and ledwiz.  I should be able to get everything I'm missing at GGG.

If you think of something I might have forgot, except for the TV and the CPU, let me know  :laugh:

All right.  It's Friday night, I just got back from work and stopped at the hardware store to get 3 sheets of MDF.

Aaaah MDF :  Medium-density fibreboard...

They should call it FHF for Freaking Heavy  :banghead:

The guy at the hardware help me to put them on the roof, but when I got home, I was all alone and I couldn't get a hold on my friend that live by (9h00PM, Friday night... I should have known  :hissy:

Anyways, I manage to get the sheets in he garage without breaking or scratching anything.

Plan for tomorrow: Cut and laminate the stainless steel side panels...

cheers!

It will look even funnier when you try to lug the finished cab on top of your car.  Have a fun, dusty day.

Yeeeeeee! can't imagine that!! 
Now I understand why when people sells cab, they specify : PICKUP ONLY!!!  >:D
Man I though gyproc was heavy...

I'm just waking up, I'll take my famous "Cafe Late" from my Saeco Machine  :notworthy:
When I'll be awake, I'll stop at Loblaws to take the measurement (again) of the TV depth (It would kind of pissed me off if I end up with side panels that are "too short"). 
After that, a quick stop to get the glue/cement from the hardware store...

I hope everything will go as plan...

PS:
I've ordered my keywiz and ledwiz yesterday. 
I think I should get them in Montreal by the end of next week...  Can't wait to play with those...

PPS:
That make me think to make sure the base and top of the cabinet will fit in the stairs when
it will be time to get it from the basement workshop to the family room upstairs...
That situation happens to me once when I had to bring the big sofa in the basement.  I had to
remove the door and "enlarge" the entrance.
(In fact, it happens to me twice, since I had to bring it back upstairs when my ex-girlfriend left with it)  :laugh2:
