Hello, there are a few things that you coud do for that hole in the
brick. easy fix is you could put a round pinball clock over it, or you
could put a framed poster/painting....you could put a few shelfs on the
brick wall and put some candles and some small flowers in little clay
flower pots and little nick nacks...the candles and flowers will keep
the room smelling nice. or depending where you live...i live in the
north east....you could go buy a wood burner and put it there and then
vent the wood burner through that hole and then in winter it would be
nice and warm or you could go get a gas fireplace kit, you know that
comes with the mantle and everything and put a nice size mirror above
the mantle..that would look nice....just some thoughts

the rooms look great, wish my basement looked like that...I have old
sand stone basement walls, the only good thing about having ugly walls
in my basement is that my wife doesnt mind me buying new pins cause the
back box's hides the walls...lol

good luck and enjoy

Looks good John...but only 16" for butt space? Come on man, this is Georgia.
We like our 'cue and brew -- which can lead to some pretty big ol'
backsides. You might want to factor that in.

- Kevin (who had a big butt even before he moved to GA)

Looking nice John. I envy you. I'd love to be able to reconstruct my
gameroom. Not that I'd change much......but it would be bigger. :)

Looks great John!

Are you doing this yourself, or having it done? Looks like nice work either
way. I can apreciate the time and effore this takes as I am doing my
basement as well (but it looks like your "basement" is on the ground floor.
I'm jealous ;-)

You could just have a mason match the brick and grout and patch that
hole. Although It would be nice to have a small wood burning stove.

John, John, John. You need to explain to your wife that marriage is a
give and take. Let her do with the rest of the basement as she wants
if you get the gameroom. Either that, or dump the bi*ch. ;-) Sorry,
that was my evil side typing. :)

I got lucky. The decor in my gameroom was all my wife's idea. In
fact, she's the one who lined up the carpet and the stripes painted on
the walls.

I still envy you. I'd love to build another gameroom. :)

I wired all the coax, ethernet, speaker and telephone wire. My contractor is
doing everything else. This is hard for a DIY guy - I'd rather be doing it
all myself. But at least this way, it gets done, and it will probably end up
looking better than if I did it.

Bryan,

I've looked at your gameroom pics several times. I'm envious of its
arcade-style carpet and paint job. My better half wouldn't allow that (she
didn't have an arcade growing up).

Looks like it's going to be nice, John. And I'm with Bryan--I envy you.
Turning my garage into a gameroom was a lot of work but a LOT of fun.
And seeing the end result of all of your hard work is sooooo
satisfying. I can't wait for my next gameroom project.

Keep posting pictures as you make progress!

Check on everything but the intercom - I don't want to make it that easy for
my wife to talk to me. :)

Don't sell the tread mill - your butt will get bigger than 16 inches
and you'll be in trouble :)


What does the S&B stand for by the 2 Video Games (in the 70's Room)?

It says "P&B," not "S&B," which I'd guess either stands for "pistachios
& barbecue" or "pitch & bat."

I was thinking the same thing. Roll a machine on a pin dolly straight
into the gameroom from the shop without having to go around corners and
such. Plus, that would give you a nice little wall spot in the pub
where the door was that would be just about perfect for a Golden Tee.
You don't really have a pub without one of those these days.

At first it was bad (can't pause a pin) but now shes used to just
hearing me playing and doesn't say anything. Its great durring
football season for the "honey we need more chips and dip" and its
cool for the guests to have backround muzak durring partys and such.
But it does cost the same as a cheap pin, just fun to have.
