Gameroom French Doors Install Part 1


Google+ and G+ are going away so you will no longer be notified when I post.  You can follow my blog by using Bloglovin and they will notify you by email when I post.  I am also looking into using feedburner etc. as a means of notification.  Also, Bloglovin has 1000's of blogs so you might find an additional couple of blogs to follow.  Gear Acres is in the DIY/Craft category.  You can only pick one and Decor didn't seem like a good fit.

Actually, I think getting rid of the Google+/G+ will be good.  I have been told that some people wanted to comment and couldn't because they did not want to join G+.  I probably wouldn't want to subscribe and remember yet another password, either.  

But guess what?  It wasn't snowing or raining and so we started the patio door install.
 Yesterday (Monday) R removed the old, rotted, and extremely ugly patio door.  This back room is currently our workroom but will ultimately be our gameroom.  If old school video games are your jam, stay tuned for some gaming action.

We have 4 upright videos games.  They are Tetris, Defender, plus we have an empty Stargate cabinet and a board so there will be a monitor install in the future.  We also have a Mr Do upright plus we own all the other boards including a bootleg Yankee Doodle Do who eats oil barrels and is chased by terrorists.

And finally we have Elevator Action which is sort of a rarer game.  It came to be when they converted Jungle Hunt/King into an Elevator Action by changing the graphics.  The controllers and game layout are the same.  I am guessing that they felt that there were a lot of jungle themed games and that is why they changed.

We also have a Japanese Mr Do slot machine.  We plan to add a cocktail table MAME that has 1500 games.  They still want big bucks for the cocktail table Ms Pac Man so for the same money we can get 1500 games or one or two games with the traditional cocktail table version.

We also have a 1930's era Brunswick pool table that we will restore.  In the past we shot a lot of stick but I dislike going to billiard halls because people do not know the correct etiquette and it totally throws my game off.  Looking forward to fine tuning my game.

Enough about video games.  Let's talk french doors.
And let's not forget the roof.  We are very pleased with the  results.

The french doors still need some tweaking.  We ran out of daylight and stamina. Tomorrow we will square everything up and install the new door handles.  And if everything goes along without a problem we may even start the trimout.
 I cannot wait until I can paint the shingles grey.
