Hey Guys,

Strange how I bought my first arcade cabinet the second week of January this year and now I have 5 cabinets and a pinball machine :cool:. This is all made possible by the truck I got the first week of January which lead my wife to saying we finally needed to finish the basement.

Somehow we both thought it was a good idea to make an arcade room, so I staredt last weekend and will be doing it this weekend as well! I was working on it tonight, sealed the cinder block walls tonight with a sealer. Last weekend I built a non-load bearing wall with a 36" door which fit on my first attempt. I was pretty freaking happy considering I have never built a wall.

Tomorrow I get to move a light switch, wire up three lights, install 6 outlets, install insulation in the wall that hasn't been drywalled yet, and possible start drywalling the existing wall that was in the basement.

Here are the pictures of my progress so far. Let me know what you think!

I'm jealous, I want to do the same, and my wife will let me, but there's a lot of work to be done in the basement, right now it's just a 600 sqft room, concrete floors and walls, and there's a moisture issue (no standing water, but lots of humidity) so I can't even consider putting cabs down there until i get it dried out, oh yeah and some heat!

But some day, it shall be a game room!

*UPDATE*

I've got all the electrical outlets done, and the lighting as well! Got a remnant carpet for basically free at Lowes just to have something nice to stand on other than the concrete floors!

Here are the links to the new pictures! I've got all my cabinets in the room as well!
