After 12 years in our first house, we're taking advantage of the current housing market and upgrading. Requirement #1 was a big game room. Here it is. Arcade downstairs, pool room upstairs. Time to go on a game buying spree! And the carport will eventually be enclosed to give me a 3rd garage bay/shop... or if my addiction gets the best of me it might end up with more arcade games in it! ;D

:cheers:

I'm not gettin the layout or somethin. Looks like attic upstairs, and basement downstairs. Is there some living quarters section in the middle?
-
You needs that ? :laugh: :laugh:
Thought that too. Looks very nice. What does a home like that cost ? (PM me if you want to keep it private).
-
Ummon, it went completely over your head. That is the GAME ROOM! Living quarters are not in there; they're in the house (not pictured obviously)!
-
Congrats :cheers:
Looks like a great space. I wish I had room on my lot to built an outbuilding like that, but I guess that'll have to wait till the next house
-
Nice!
I've spent much of the weekend reorganizing, moving summer stuff inside, racking, stacking and generally shuffling things around (I have to find *some* way to get that Cheyenne cab inside before the weather turns) and I would LOVE to have a separate building for my game stuff.
More importantly, Mrs. Cheffo would LOVE to have a separate building for both me and my game stuff!
Nicely done -- congrats!
:cheers:

I know one
house arcade warming party I will be attending (pending invite, of course).
:cheers:

You'll definitely get an invite. :) Can't say how soon it will be though. It would be really nice to get a few more cabs before then if possible.

Oh. Game room to me means a room. Arcade can be a room, but can also mean a building.
-
If game room means a room, then this is a game room (and building). You're implying because it's in a separate room it shouldn't be called a game room. ??? :dunno

Really depends on where he lives but I can tell you I couldn't afford anything remotely close to that where I am.

Cheffo! You haven't got that thing indoors yet?? I suppose that is sore spot with Mrs. Cheffo, so compromise is a good option!
-
I wish I had the space for a fun/game shack like that, that thing is great. Love it! :applaud:
-
I am very jealous you have a massive 2 story separate game building!
Kudos
I cant wait to see it decorated & full of machines.....so hurry up.
-
Believe me, the closing date can't come soon enough! It's going to be really fun filling that place up with arcade games (and a couple pins). Decorating it to the hilt is definitely in the plans as well.
-
One of our local gameroom guys has a gameroom loft in his garage. It is awesome, but be sure of one thing before putting games in the 2nd story - make sure the floor framing is strong enough!
He had to install a beam under the main chunk of games before this past game night.
-
Not just the games... account for the games AND a whole bunch of people. Even just 5 people can be 1000lb standing right next to your games.
-
Yep, the people were the main concern. There was alot of people in there!
-
My wife has a friend who has a building like that. In the upstairs they have a pool table and a really huge bar. They kind of have it looking like a biker bar up there actually.... anyway, don't forget to add a bar in the upstairs! It looks great and I agree with you about enclosing the carport.
-
Thanks for the suggestion about weight... we will definitely investigate determining what kind of weight rating there is. As for the bar, it would be a waste of space. We're not really drinkers - I have maybe a couple of drinks a year.

Hey, like folk.
arcade/room: I'm jus sayin what I think of.

I wonder sometimes about the apartment above mine - the ceiling creaks and clumps when people walk normal up there.
-
I didn't think about it until later, but see the 2 supporting posts and the big beam on top of them? I don't think weight will be an issue. :afro:
-
Lookin' good... would love to have a room dedicated to just arcade machines. Maybe one day... :cry:

wow, you are psyched, that is a dream come true. have fun with that. You are lucky indeed.
