Been meaning to start this for a while to show the progress on my basement arcade, dubbed: Spot Killers. The wife and I, and 2 kids, just moved into this place December 15th. Before moving all the games went to a friends warehouse for storage, so I wanted to start working on the build asap to get the games home by spring/early summer.
It's kinda an odd layout, but it should be fun once the games are here. I'm also building my wife her drum room that she's been bugging me about for years; we never had the space at the old house.
Here's the initial layout with dimensions. The room behind the red line will be her drum room. The arc is the door where you'll enter and straight ahead of that (the dead space) is the utility room I'm framing around; hence not showing it on the layout. Also, on the other side of the door where you enter is a playroom/multi purpose room for the kids. It'll have a couch and tv; eventually a small fridge and counter space for drinks/food; so I'll have relaxing space that's still right by the arcade but doesn't have to be IN the arcade.
The plan for the overall build on the arcade is:
- Open ceiling sprayed flat black
- Recessed lights for "work" lighting and fluorescent fixtures for blacklights
- Drylok the walls and paint color over the drylok
- Build partition walls for utility room and wife's drum room
- Blacklight carpet in arcade and normal carpet in drum room
I need to catchup on posts/pictures, so the initial part of the thread will be a bulk update of everything I've been doing for the last two months.
