    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!

    Quoted from Chosen_S:

    Last nights work, goes much better with more people.

    True.

    Although, I find life goes better with fewer people.

    Boom! This guy is amazing !

    I missed a real opportunity to Photoshop BlueBlood 's name on the picture above. I'm sad now.

    #272 6 years ago
    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.

    #280 6 years ago
    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?

    #305 6 years ago
    Quoted from Reznnate:

    Marcade...clearly
    The question is it Marcade or MARKade

    I regret that I have but one up-vote for you, sir.

    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.

    I'm all turned around. That is exterior-facing? You'll have a window there?

    #347 6 years ago
    Quoted from Chosen_S:

    Surprises will alter your mind... hint: no window, but closed off to the world

    Drawbridge. Got it.

    It needs less dudes

    That's just hurtful.

    Quoted from Chosen_S:

    We may have landed a name...
    “Level Up”

    Once again...hurtful.

    Quoted from nightsearcher:

    Solid name. Our league in LA uses it...not that you should take that into consideration.

    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.

    #394 5 years ago
    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?

    #397 5 years ago
    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.

    #398 5 years ago
    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!

    #407 5 years ago
    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.

    #409 5 years ago
    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.

    #411 5 years ago
    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!

    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!
