    Marino/Ware, one of my clients ... and a major manufacturer of steel studs in NJ. Might be the same studs at the Gecko's place ... minus the Gecko himself

    They pitch the benefits on their product page.

    I see lots of space for pins. Woohoo!

    Quoted from spfxted:

    ...and lots of space for US.....

    Hell yeah!

    Quoted from spfxted:

    You in on the Moving Party, pinster?

    Definitely. Somebody want to lend Greg a Escalera?

    Quoted from NJGecko:

    Yeah, I know...
    After tomorrow we are going to have to move, by my count this is what's going to need to come from storage:
    Xenon
    Centaur 2
    Metallica
    T3
    Paragon
    BSD (hopefully)
    And we have one vid from my first floor to move
    Possibly Tron from upstairs
    Possibly Funhouse from upstairs
    Lastly, I may have a WOZ by then too...
    Guess I'm buying pizza for the party...hopefully pre-thanksgiving!

    Exciting!

    Quoted from NJGecko:

    As always, thanks for the positive feedback! It's coming out quickly which is great...but for those of you who don't know me, among other hats I wear, I negotiate contracts and project manage so I drive people hard if I'm motivated

    Looking forward to the grand opening.

    BTW, I say you powder coat all your exposed ductwork.

    I'm flexible. Whenever you guys wanna roll I'm good.

    Quoted from fiberdude120:

    Bilco doors are just ugly.

    Quoted from NJGecko:

    Don't think it wasn't discussed!

    It was more my insistence than a discussion ... alas, you resisted.

    #253 10 years ago
    Quoted from NJGecko:

    OK....so as I predicted we probably slid a day. Lots of trimming done, but probably at least another day of it, so paint may not be till Saturday or Monday. But so close...so very close...
    Cat inspections ongoing.

    It's so close I can taste it ...

    Quoted from NJGecko:

    Wife is already asking when I'm having the "gathering"

    That makes two of us!

    #279 10 years ago

    BTW, I vote for powder coating the ductwork lime green.

    #281 10 years ago

    My predictions are running at a 90% accuracy. That makes powder coating a pretty good possibility. Okay, maybe not lime green.

    #283 10 years ago

    That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

    Woohoo..

    #297 10 years ago
    Quoted from NJGecko:

    Leaving it exposed. We kept the sheetrock tight to the ceiling and left it exposed to give more headroom and to add to the "it's a basement" or "quasi-industrial" look. Later we may paint it a contrasting color contrary to the advice I was given to powdercoat it

    I'll bring over the rattle cans of lime-green.

    #311 10 years ago
    Quoted from NJGecko:

    The floor has blue flecks and white flecks in it that tie in with the walls and ceiling nicely.

    You need one of these. You know ... to tie the room together.

    Quoted from NJGecko:

    Um, that ties together my breakfast and vomiting it out.

    Hey man ... it's your style.

    Quoted from NJGecko:

    Soon...I don't want to jinx myself by setting a date. Once I get machines set up and working I will pick out a date.
    Gotta unbox Metallica and Woz still!

    Let's just be clear ... I'll be there Sunday.

    #335 10 years ago

    Really like the color Greg. Great choice.

    Quoted from NJGecko:

    The anal pinhead side of me was cringing watching all of the unleveled and unshopped games get played.

    Ehem...

    Ted's got the coolest effin shirts. I'm jealous.

    Quoted from spfxted:

    Oh yeah!....We're gettin' some snow action here right now!

    Yep ... da sheet-storm is a comin'
