This isn't so much as an on going build but more sharing a current predicament. With a bit of building involved.
I converted our garage last year to make a games room. I vowed I would never let it be taken over by the kids.
I'd just about got it where I wanted it in terms of paraphernalia and a few arcade machines.

Even made a light for it from an old skateboard


Now, the misses now goes on daily about it becoming a play room for the kids (I don't know why they can't just keep their crap In their room!).
I'm coming round to the idea (mainly to keep her quiet) as I have a back up.......
It was common in the lockdowns that everyone missed the pub/bar/going out. So folk starting building them in their gardens. And I jumped on the bandwagon and built one!
If it's use was slightly changed I could still house the bar but only really fit 3 pins in and have no social area. And this would mean I'd need to ship the arcade cabs off. Possibly to my works unit!
It's 15sqm but had I known this was going to happen. I could've moved it elsewhere in the garden and stretched to the full 30sqm without building regs.
Anyway. Still not sure what to do but hope you like the build! I did all the work myself apart from the flagging, wall and rendering.
