So, we've been renting about 200 squaremetres for our private pinball club, Kristiania Flipperselskap.
We have about 35-40 machines and the core consists of six members.
However, the building we've been renting is beeing demolished this autumn. We recently secured a new, bunkeresque location and the idea of this thread is to post pictures and text about what is happening.
Just for fun, and because I personally would've followed such a thread. And the grammar police can stay the fuck out, ok?
Im a club colleague of OP, so Ill contribute with some photos too 
we have a great classic collection too. As mentioned we will be relocating so started packing down games and also the carpet tiles... lots of work but will be so cool to set up the new place

Good luck with the move. Looks like you have some great games, maybe this is a chance to pick up some more!
We'll post the classics soon also 
More packing and also some photos of the classic section, and some miscellaneous.
Still lots to go, but with a great team of friends we can get anything done

Carpet tile installation has already begun. Regarding the ugly grafitti on the walls, all the walls will be painted black the coming week. Molton fabric will also be hung from the ceiling, to further reduce noise.
On Wednesday we will do the first machine/interior -haul and we are gonna move the rest coming saturday.

Luzur från Glada Huddik!
No, I dont think so, perhaps someone from Bergen or Trondheim bought it, they have active pinball clubs too.
Quoted from radium:Looks like fun. You should have started carpeting from the other side the room so you could fight till the end.
Haha. Yeah, that grafitti. Some martial arts/karate/ninja/tmnt club had this place before us, and they chose to do this to the walls. And they werent that good at spelling either.
Carpeting done!
(Not by me, I had to go home to my dog. )
If you zoom in on the picture you can see Edenecho standing proud.

Today we painted. It took two of us about 3 hours, and we were done. We decided that one coat is enough, all the walls will be covered by pinball machines anyway.
Tomorrow we start moving various things, like sofa, fridge, eight or so of the classics etc.

Ideally yes, but timing didnt allow that. But we used a cover for the floor when we painted. All good
Oh my god. Well we walked almost 20.000 meters today and carried almost 3500 KGs of machines. But the end result will be friggin awesome.

20200711_122749 (resized).jpgSuccessfully moved in, we have started setting up the machines and sorting out the mess

Hey!
Easy Easy there...snowflakes are listening
Quoted from mtn-:And the grammar police can stay the fuck out, ok?
I always like to remind people that the only people that correct the grammar of somebody from a country that isn't primarily English-speaking probably can't speak a single word of that person's native language.
If you can speak two languages, as far as I'm concerned, you're better than me.
As for the grammar police, de kan gå og knulle seg. 
Oh, and PS: It looks great!
Quoted from beelzeboob:As for the grammar police, de kan gå og knulle seg.
herlig norsk!
Quoted from beelzeboob:As for the grammar police, de kan gå og knulle seg.
Uff Da!
(That's all the Norwegian I know.)
Wunderbar!!
Hopefully you've relaxed after all that work, and enjoyed a few excellent German cold ones.
Prost!

Thanks, and of course!
We realized today that we have managed to do all this in like 3 weeks, thats quite insane. There is still much to do, but now we can take a break in between with beer and pinball.
A while since last update, but we have been busy fixing machines, tidying etc etc. But we are planning on having a closed tournament with a very limited amount of people this saturday, so the club is quite ready now:

Feel free to check it out here:

As you all might have seen from the former post and photos, moving 30+ pinball machines and prepping a room from zero is a lot of work, and we managed to capture the different stages of the process in a timelapse.

Looks great! Love how the pup gets excited every time another game comes in.

Skol...awesome work, thanks for the timelapse!
Almost as much work as me trying to change a few LED's on a Sunday morning with a hangover, but in slow motion! 
Quoted from EJS:Looks great! Love how the pup gets excited every time another game comes in.
Thats my little five year old Boston Terrier. He sure do have that "forever puppy" - look though.
His name is OTTO, and hes our official mascot, as written in our statues!
Damn, somehow I forgot all about this thread I started a long time ago. :/
Anyhow, here is a short video I took yesterday just before our monthly tournament started.. Enjoy!
In preparation for a couple bigger tournaments coming up, and the fact that we wanted to try and make the location even more "open" we did some rearranging this week. I made a quick video walk though of our club after that, it looks very nice
Also some photos:
