Remodel in progress,
Having a new floor installed in our basement (gameroom).
Previously the floor was covered with industrial carpeting,
that was stained and smelly with cat piss and probably 20+ yrs of old.
The floor had an underlayment of a rubber coating (moisture barrier)
not unlike Flex Seal. But in a few places the rubber sealant had deteriorated,
and there were some areas where years of water pressure had formed tiny bubbled areas,
in the rubber with moisture underneath. We repaired those areas with an epoxy resin sealant.
Then floating another layer of thin set cement to help level out some uneven areas.
Then placing down a vapor moisture barrier (2mil plastic sheeting).
Then placing the flooring on top of all that. It is a product called Marmoleum.
Kind of like old school linoleum, but in tile squares that Clic & Lock into place.
Here are a few photos of the before and in progress.
I will post more once completed in a few days.

Would have used the urinal many many times. Urinal keeps everything else clean.
I almost always pee in the shower when taking a shower.
Problem solved.

Finally got around to bringing some of my EM pins back down to the basement, after getting a new floor installed.
This basement side room will continue to be my retro EM pinball room as well as my place to store and archive my pinball manuals and vast pinball flyer collection.
Below are a couple of pictures of those games with my new marmoleum floor finally installed.
Not very pretty or custom or as nice as a lot of the other gamerooms in this topic thread,
but it is what it is.
I still have about 10 more pins to set back up in the basement, some of which will be Solid State pins,
but i think I am leaning more toward EMs at the moment.

I a getting too old for this hobby, as I strained my back, while setting games up.
If it were not for my nephew (in-law) helping
it would not be possible to get these games set back up in the basement, let alone anywhere.
Quoted from Pinwiz1985:Keezer as you know is a chest freezer with a temp controller on it keeping it between 38-41F. The lines and barrels stay cold with a 3 inch bilge fan moving the cold air inside from bottom to top. The 2x10 collar is insulated. There is a controller keeping the fan at a slow speed. A magnetic reed switch on the lid operates a DPDT relay so when the lid is closed the fan is on, and lid open turns on an LED 5050 strip for light inside. No beer foaming as the operating pressure, carbonation level is balanced with the line length/diameter. So no co2 comes out of solution.
What is the capacity of each cylinder? And how are they filled? Does the beer distributor fill them or do you?
Quoted from Pinwiz1985:Correct!! 14 of the 5 gal corny kegs,
So I guess if you bought a couple cases of Keystone Light or PBR
one could open those and pour into a "Corny" kegs
to satisfy those with a limited taste range?
