Quoted from Theo_Ioannis:The longest drywall sheet here is 6m......20ft long
Wow never seen that before longest we have out here is 14'... is this something 2 guys could handle throwing up and i figure it would be a little awkward to handle.
My guys would kill me if i started ordering 20' sheets for them lol
Question, are there no issues with only have one exit on a building that size? Seems like you would have to have a door at each side? Just curious.

Wonderful terrain and weather, but practically everything else about CA is AFU.

Floor paint is $185 a 10l tin.Has all the goodies mixed in.I have just built it,so far no drama.

Be interesting to see if you find the concrete floor “too loud” - ie no sound absorption in that room, only reflective surfaces.
If so, carpet tiles or “garage carpet” is cheap and very effective.
I have normal house carpet in my gamesroom and garage carpet in my garage (which now has 21 pins in it). The garage carpet is great! Nylon, no pile, easy clean, and the pins slide around super easy. And like $20 a lineal metre.
You can see it in this part of the garage .. excuse the mess, I was having a re-arrange.

Thanks for the advice Rd,time will tell with the noise. Not that it will bother me. Those carpet tiles look really good.But with 200m2 to cover that is the price of another pinball!

The stuff in my pictures is garage carpet which comes in rolls. 1200mm wide from memory, direct stick to the floor. I think I paid $12 a lineal metre for it (wholesale) here - you can probably get it retail in Aussie for 15-20 a metre. Easy to lay.
I use carpet tiles in my commercial office buildings, here is a 500x500mm tile. Again, direct stick. I had plain grey tiles in my old arcade in my factory unit when we lived there (before the house was built). The beauty of carpet tiles is that if one gets damaged, rip it up and stick down a new one! Similar price to the garage carpet if you sniff out a deal.

Thanks again for the advice Rd.
Quoted from king-pin:Guttering hooked up to tanks.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
So all the feeder lines stay full until they reach the level of the tank inputs correct?
Quoted from eh97ac:Without math nerds getting involved, are we taking bets on how many rainfalls it takes to 1) initially get water in the tanks and 2) fill the tanks?
Tanks are 23,000l each and there is 260m2 of roof space.
Quoted from king-pin:Tanks are 23,000l each and there is 260m2 of roof space.
It takes no time at all to fill those up. Not in NZ anyway.
Mine are 2x 30,000 litres and NZ rain keeps them full to the brim. And water comes shooting out the top half the time. Haha
There’s no way we can use as much water as we catch off the 600sqm house roof.
I installed 2x 30,000 litre tanks on my last industrial building I built (13,000 sq metre roof size, huge catchment area) - the tenants used the free water to make the diesel additive that goes into the second gas tank that the modern diesels have (AdBlue) The concentrate comes from Germany and they use my roof water to mix it up. Free water! Win!

Quoted from king-pin:The keys are in.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
I hang them on the right foot of each machine.
You can always buy matching locks too - one key opens every pin. PBL will do that.
You’re making good progress. Nice!

pics?
Just get a bunch of these: https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Ｍaximum-Neodymium-Corrosion-Protection/dp/B0787Q54M1/ref=sr_1_4
Put them on the inside of the leg just under the cabinet. A few of the WI guys do that, works great.
I have all mine on hooks on the left leg. Love it! Whenever I have a tournament I won’t be bothered when people need the keys.

Ha I got that beat........keyless locks. No losing keys ever.

I think his was done a while ago and he's now just showing pictures he took of the build at a fast pace to make us think it's going this fast now just to piss us off.

Maybe i should tip my Boss about starting pinball houses beside the ordinary ones we build, could be lucrative

I used to do that until I had some of my kids friends over for a party and half the keys disappeared. Kids will play with anything, especially if it is shiny.

easy solution... no kids
Quoted from Whysnow:easy solution... no kids
Having kids was the best thing I ever did, at the same time- it is the hardest thing I have ever done.
Quoted from Whysnow:easy solution... no kids
People always ask me if my pinball parties are kid friendly. I tell them I'd rather have the kids over than the pinball people. Pinball people can be real assholes. 
Quoted from MustangPaul:.keyless locks
My buddy showed me this as he does this with all his games. I like it and that way you can hang the keys for the head on the inside of the coin door. Without having to worry about misplaced keys.
