Complete Pin Shed - On A Budget (ish)

We have Faro oil filled radiators in the house and they are amazing but quite expensive to buy.

The good thing is you can program them to a certain temperature so I could leave it on say 15 degrees all day and it probably wouldn't use that much electricity but keep the space warm.

Not sure about dimplex type convector heaters, always thought they were expensive to run...

The temperature is generally a couple of degrees higher than the south coast here so one rad of either type should do it.

Wasn't somebody saying in another pinshack thread that storage heaters are the way to go?

Sorry Pete but I'm in Costa Rica on my honeymoon at the moment. :wave:
I had painted the inside and the electrician was cracking on when I left so it should just be a case of moving in when I get back. :)
 
I assume the wedding vows were in order:
"With this Ring I thee wed, with my body I thee worship after pinball, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow, except my pinball machines: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

What your going to sell all your pins and turn it into a Wendy house? I can tell your going to be a great dad!

Don't forget if you need to hide any pins long term while the kids are growing up just give me a shout and we can sort something out.

Back from three weeks in Costa Rica :(

Good news is the shed is pretty much done and it's nearly Christmas! :)

I had painted it before leaving, dark grey on the front and back walls then light grey on the side walls and ceiling.

Carpet came from Carpet Right called Tivoli Loop - Granite and was £6.99/m2 so around £225 then a friend of a friend fitted it with underlay for another £150 so £375 ish all in, bargain and it looks awesome!

I'll do a cash update over the next couple of days and a few plans of how I'm thinking of positioning everything.

Cheers :thumbs:
 
Hi. I know this has been asked before. But how high is it inside, floor to ceiling?
Think this is more an out building than a shed. Either way I have shed envy.

Hi mate,
It is 2.30m at the front sloping to 2.20m at the back.

Are newer machines smaller?
My lw3 needs 2140mm clearance to open the Playfield fully.
I want a stern machine next but can't find measurement.
It's tricky to stay in the 2500mm high.

Most pins are 190 - 200cm high so won't be an issue but will have to see about toppers...
 
Couple of quick (and sh*te) plans I've drawn up.

First one is max capacity but I can't see this ever happening... ;)

15 pins with enough room to get the glass off.
