Post by: Jasonmm on May 16, 2011, 05:57:17 pm
Finding this forum has cost me a tun of money !!!

I blame delusional2971's youtube Channel !!

$6000 arcade
$5000 touch screen jukebox
$4000 pinball

Anything else after this ?

Do you guys do car audio ? How about tropical fish ? Model Trains ? Stripper girlfriends ?

I hate you all ... !!!

What?  Why are you spending so much money?

I collect moon rocks, spotted owls, and have 3 Bigfoots encased in Lucite.

I hope my wife doesn't see those amounts! Not that I have spent anywhere near that, but I'd hate for her to have an inflated perception of what I've spent!  :angel:

Okay let me take a stab:

$6,000 - He obviously bought an actual arcade that was going out of business, or an operators old warehouse, I'm guessing.
$5,000 - Guessing he built a juke for $600 bucks or so and then bought 4,400 songs on itunes
$4,000 - New in box stern

Stripper girlfriends ?
The whole point of going to see strippers is that they don't follow you home.

In all seriousness, from reading all Jasonmm's posts, he's had all these items custom built (well, maybe not the pinball). So that's going to raise the cost as opposed to him doing it on his own.

Without getting all gay... Talent can be honed, a kind and generous heart is more rare.  Having had a special needs sister, I think what you have done for your brother is beyond amazing.

Now, learn to build some stuff!

I think you'd be luckier (at least wealthier!) if he was really into something like.. balloons.  ;D

You could get a TON of balloons for that amount of money.

That is cool.  keep that side garage door closed if I come over to play, otherwise your SUV might sustain "hail damage". 

Next project - convert rotary mower to power reel!

Gay would be listening to Rick Astley and then taking pictures of it and then posting it on an arcade forum.  ;)

Nice golf course J! I want to make one too, not because I love golf but to increase my property value. In case I have to sell the place, and I'm very near some great courses.

What's your treatment for the putting green area?

If possible, my green will be going directly on top of my septic drain field.

I am not a big golf man either , I just enjoy the look ....

I am not a bent grass expert either , but I have done alot or research ...

was the seed I used .... came in great ....

I live on sand , and I used 2 cubic tuns of top soil on top of that , I used lime and a basic 14-14-14 fertizier .... I live in Michigan , and I have a weird sun exposure time and that helped control the burn ....

i got a little old school push mover to keep it nice and short ...

thanks again  ...

I agree with you , it like putting in a tennis court , or a basketball court or horseshoe pit ... totally increase your property value ...

good luck to you ...

Hell yea love the little signs and accents!

Yea, I actually like golf but I'm not any good. Maybe if I actually do this I can learn some stuff. I actually have a little elevation to work with too, so that might be fun. Thanks for the tips on the green, etc..Nice job!
