Quoted from Chosen_S:Not much new to report... although I have actually done a ton of work, just not much to look at.
Awesome! This thread has been a great follow for me as I attempt my (much smaller) project. Thanks for the inspiration.

Quoted from Chosen_S:Cool! Post a link if you plan to post a thread !
Will do. The documentation is a project in and of itself!

Your wish...
Here is my post on "The 1987 Ford Escort of Game Room Renovations":
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-1987-ford-escort-of-game-room-renovations#post-4256295
Quoted from Chosen_S:Every time I read your Escort thread ....
I mean, if the glove fits...
Quoted from Chosen_S:Last nights work, goes much better with more people.
True.
Although, I find life goes better with fewer people.
Quoted from Chosen_S:Boom! This guy is amazing !
Quoted from Yelobird:Ok that is is one bad ass looking building but what I am more impressed by is Blueblood. Dam cool gesture and way great person! Those are the people that make this hobby great. Bravo to you sir!!
This has been my only helper on my smaller project:
Quoted from Chosen_S:Safety gear, Check!
You can never be too careful. Trying to avoid a huge worker's comp claim.
Quoted from Chosen_S:A few throwback pics which I will catalog after the project is finished ... or will it ever be finished???
Brings a tear to my eye every time.
Quoted from Chosen_S:I’ve been working on booring gutters and trim work, but it’s looking good and starting to really excite me!
Gutters are boring. But necessary.
Quoted from Chosen_S:Been trying to come up with a NAME for the game room...
These are names my kids came up with
Game house
Arcade station
Pinball station
Space Station
Game over, man!
Monster
Game Tower
Press the button
Bah! Nothing’s sticking... but I do like ‘Game Over Man!
We are between the Marcade and the Marcave. My name is Mark, get it?
Quoted from Reznnate:Marcade...clearly
The question is it Marcade or MARKade
I regret that I have but one up-vote for you, sir.
In no particular order:
1. The Pin-pire State Building
2. The Best Little Pin House in Texas
3. Silver Baller City
4. The Texas Drop Target Massacre
5. Matthew McConaughey Once Slept Here
6. Friday Night LEDs
7. The Lone Star Rollover
Quoted from Chosen_S:Thanks guys , i’m ready to play some freaking pinball
Gotta keep the faith!
Quoted from Chosen_S:the sunsets are a contender with the best.
We've found that rampant pollution works to enhance sunsets here in SoCal.
Quoted from Chosen_S:why on earth is pinside posting this pic again... I swear it’s not me
It happens to everyone at some point. It's totally natural.
Quoted from Chosen_S:Surprises will alter your mind... hint: no window, but closed off to the world
Drawbridge. Got it.
Quoted from Chosen_S:I appreciate the kind words, I might just pinstadium the crap out of it!! But in a different way
Quoted from Chosen_S:We may have landed a name...
“Level Up”
Once again...hurtful.
Quoted from zh2oson:In no particular order:

7. The Lone Star Rollover
Quoted from nightsearcher:I’m how about “On Tilt”
Solid name. Our league in LA uses it...not that you should take that into consideration.
Quoted from Chosen_S:Hehe, one reason I hired a guy
Yeah, but do you mow your own lawn?
Good to see that all of the really important stuff is being handled by the authorities in your area. Dear lord.
Keep your chin up buddy.
Quoted from Chosen_S:Truth be told, if it weren’t for the major power construction with the new telephone pole, I could have skated under the radar with the permit office. This area is growing too fast for itself. Theres only 2 electrical inspectors and 2 framing inspectors which also serve as final inspectors and to my knowledge, only one plumbing inspector, EVERY business has a help wanted sign as well as the city offices
Too many Californians crashing the Texas party, huh?
Quoted from Chosen_S:A new friend asked me and my wife a few days ago if we are from San Diego.
Nobody ever has had any feelings (good or bad) about anyone from San Diego. Ever.
Quoted from rufessor:And as for Californians moving in...
That’s a yes in my neck of the woods- it sure helps keep the property value so up
We're like ants at a picnic. You didn't invite us, but there's no stopping us!
Quoted from Chosen_S:the other is an unreliable addict that can paint some really mad skill type stuff. Unfortunately I may be the guy :-/
The fumes from a spray paint can have ruined many of us over the years.
Quoted from Chosen_S:Yes, I always wear a respirator now, even while caulking this evening I had it on, I get used to it.
I wish I didn't like the sweet freedom that huffing spray paint brings.
Quoted from Chosen_S:On another note; the camera on my phone stopped working. I finished putting up the brick paneling last night, looks good. I need to find grout the same color as the paneling and fix the seams and cover the screws.
I'm picturing it in my mind...and it is spectacular!
Quoted from MustangPaul:I'd like to ride up and down on the outside lift you have.
Didn't permitting/planning department have an issue with the game room being connected to the house? I thought I remembered something about that.
Glad everything seems to be resolved!
