'Off the shelf' pinball shack/games room?

Saw this a little earlier - an ideal pre-fab solution with a little extra impact in the back garden?

I've been down the garden tonight and checked that we've just about got the 19m of length apparently required (beyond the lawn) but I appear to be experiencing some initial resistance from SHMBO on the grounds of funding, planning, appearance and the little question of getting it lifted into place over the neighbours back gardens....

Nice idea, just tell your wife it's the new washingline.

actually if you got th rotas to work it would dry clothes in no time (although they would end up in a neighbours garden)

Just make sure the winch is fully working, you'll need it to get the pins in.

Suggested that this evening and got a resounding 'yes' , unfortunately that was based on the logic that I'd have to sell all of my (meagre) collection to even begin funding the purchase, followed by trying to cover the divorce settlement.....

To be fair, she did sort the arrival of my I500 as 50th birthday oresent, which got me properly back into pinball a couple of years ago, the 'one pinball machine in the house at a time' rule is being applied a little more firmly than I would like at the moment....

She does seem to be ms,ing up the rules as she goes along though - I can't recall anything in the rule book saying 'no helicopters in the back garden', but apparently it's been there all along
