New games room/garden room

[mplayfield]

Hi I thought I would share a few pictures of the build on my games room, rain stopped the build today so I have time to do a post. Originally it started off as I wanted a pin shed but as the shed would be near to the road on the side of the house I would need planning permission,so if I had to go down that road I thought I might as well build a proper room.so this was the first plan and as you see I tweaked it a bit . Notice the 1.5 metre dimensions from each wall,perfect for pins.Let digging commenceDamn concreting was hard work.I had 7cube delivered on a conveyor wagon but he couldn’t reach more than 17 meters from the road to so had to barrow a lot and not a day I would like to repeat unfortunately I didn’t get pictures of the wagon or the concrete just after doing it as I was that busy so Skip in a few days ahead, we now have some block work it’s right about now when I’m thinking big may be better, but it’s a lot of hard work.

What are the blue tanks for?

Water storage, and a cold plunge pool .I have a pump in the flat tank to connect a hose etc I was going to gravity feed but flow was too slow .I’m going to connect to the gutter to fill , both will hide under the deck with a lift up lid on the plunge pool

It looks great and pretty big too.
Did you get planning permission ok?

 

[mplayfield]

Hi thanks. there is room for seven comfortably along the far wall and I will probably put two on the other side,as want a storage cupboard and a seating area Planning was a worry for me but I got a guy in to draw the plans and he knew what the council would accept and the plans were passed in 4 weeks.I was amazed.

Wow that's going up quickly, I'm sure builders aren't usually this quick unless pinball machines are involved

Are you moving your existing machines in there or getting another 7?

Hi Mark , moving the four from the front room to free up the bedroom then thinning out to three in the office also moving hobbit and scooby when it comes, so that’s the seven,so space for two more possibilities

Better tell him the hammer works better the other way round else you'll be a long time finishing.
Looking good

Thought I would add a few more pictures. Things are moving along pretty well but I have been having a few problems with hands so had to get help in the last couple of weeks. But windows and doors ordered up and roof well on the way I’m hoping to be in the dry by Christmas.
