My girlfrend can never see that picture with the skeeball in it. :)

I love the work area. Mine seems to be shrinking all the time to make room for more games.
drventure:
That's WAY too neat a garage  ;)

Nice collection though. I love the skeeball too!

Nice Skeeball and those floors are mint.  If you saw a photo of my garage it looks like a tornado hit it.   Great job.  I love the framed posters as well.  Were did you get the frames?  What size?  I have a collection of original Star Wars posters I want to put up but can't (not really tried) find black frames for it.  Great job.  invite us over  :cheers:

Paul & Kronic your garages are waaaay cooler than mine, wow nice spaces  :cheers:

Paul you really have some great dedicated machines there, I like it. Reminds me of Frizzle's place are you guys brothers?

Kronic that space looks purdy, all that grey & sealed floors + those dope posters & money shop. Damn that was well done!

EDIT: Best board ever = Winmau Blade 3

Thanks guys. The floors are super awesome, I love them the most. The garage was a total revamp for me. I did 80% of it myself. I tore out the ceiling joists, installed new ones, installed electrical /lights, installed a radiant barrier, insulated, added attic ladder, prepp-ed for drywall, painted, installed a new Garage door, and installed all the Gladiator garage products. Here is what it looked like during the demo.



I didn't do all the drywall work, and I didn't do the floors (which look so much more awesome in person). Otherwise it's a brand-spankin-new garage for gaming and hanging. I watch Futurama from the TV (on the fridge) from a netflix stream on wifi ... and puts around in there tweaking with MAME settings pretty much every night now.

The Skeeball was a pain in the @SS to move and restore. It's a full 13' skeeball from 1980. But it cleaned up pretty good. I still need to configure the tickets dispenser and get a replacement coin mech (it was empty when I bought it).

As for the Posters, they are 18x24. I took the artwork from http://flyers.arcade-museum.com and then put it in photoshop, blew them up and retraced a lot of the elements so they would look good when printed. It's not 100% by any means, but you can't tell at all from a few feet away. They look great. Also, there is a local framing company near me that mounts them to foam-core, and installed them with metal frames and actual glass for only $20 ... that was crazy. I first tried target but they sucked!

I have now slipped in a boardgame table/workshop table that I built that takes up most of the center of the room. It's on wheels so I can roll it out of the garage for parties and such ... but I find it useful.


I could not have done any of this without first building a very large shed, Google scketchup, an imagination, and the Federal "First Time Home Buyers" tax credit  :cheers:
