Jongens, weer even een update, in het Engels deze keer (ja sorry hoor, maar knip en plak is wel zo makkelijk).
On 16 February I finished all the woodwork in the gameroom.
So, now it's time for the plastering of the ceiling and the walls, a job which I don't like to do at all (I think that it's a horror to get everything nice and smooth), so a professional will take care of this. All walls and the ceiling will be done with 'spachtelputz', something like this: http://www.alco-stucspuitwerk.nl/spachtelputz.htm And with a bit of luck this will be finished next week.
It will make the walls very strong, and easy to give them a color (or more colors) afterwards. I still don't know which color(s), but I like the seventies style of this (the orange color in particular)
But is you guys have better suggestions about colors or other decoration possibilities, then please spill it. For the floor I'm thinking about 'kliklaminaat', in black or another dark color. I'm not sure yet, though.
Anyway, here are some dull pics of how it is now:
In my mind I already have a picture of where to put which games, and the corner where the toolbox is will be the Japanese corner, with some great candy's, Japanese arcade art etc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last week preparations were done for today, when the walls and ceiling were coated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today, 25 february !!!
Another day gone by, another progress report.
Today I had a professional 'spackspuiter' (what is the English name for it?) at my place who did the finishing of the walls and ceiling.
It's a process with 4 steps:
1. Covering all area's that don't need to be sprayed. This gave me a bit of a headache yesterday evening, because I only painted the woodden skirting along the ceiling and the window frames yesterday afternoon. The label on the paintcan mentioned 'dust dry after 3 hours'. Yeah, my ass, at 11 PM yesterday evening, 6 hours after I finished painting, it was still very, very sticky. So I pulled in an air heater that I recently bought, and fortunately this morning the paint was dry. Poeh!! 8)
Picture:
2. Spray the first layer, in phases, and smooth out every bump or hole that still exists (afmessen). This is a very time consuming job, because it has to be done very precisely. And it has to be done in phases, because if you first spray the entire room, you will find that the first part has dried out too much too be egalized.
Pictures:
Almost done:
3. After the first layer has dried out a bit, which only takes half an hour or so, the second layer is beeing sprayed, which will give a nice structure on the ceiling and walls. The thickness of the sprayed structure can be adjusted by using different nozzles on the spray gun. I choose a very fine structure, which makes the walls and ceiling look very smooth. The spraying of the entire room only took about 15 minutes:
4. Removing the protection tape on the skirting:
Done and finished: ;D
I don't have to paint the walls if I want them to be white, there is no shine through from the plasterboard. But I will paint some (parts of) walls in a colour, don't know how and which colors yet.
Tot zover ....

Tapijtje zou het mooiste zijn, maar in mijn geval niet praktisch, vanwege de locatie van de schuur zal er steeds veel vuil mee naar binnen gelopen worden en dan is je mooie tapijtje al snel niet zo mooi meer. 
Ik neig nu meer naar een modernere, beetje industriële uitstraling, in plaats van een donkere jaren-70 ruimte. Ik vind het belangrijk dat de schoonheid van de cabs goed zichtbaar blijft en dan is een lichte ruimte beter. En kleur breng ik dan wel aan met de aankleding, posters, marquees als wanddecoratie, neon, etc. Bovendien, heb je wel eens eeen Pachinko in actie gezien? Nou dan heb je verder geen kleur meer nodig. Man, de verlichting van de Star Wars Darth Vader Pachinko is net een disco.
Maar ik ben er nog niet uit, dus wellicht denk ik er morgen weer anders over.

Weer een update van de voortgang, wederom in het Engels.
The last few weeks nothing has been done on the construction of the gameroom, because ….. that part is finished.
But that doesn’t mean nothing else has been done. In fact, I’ve been doing, and still am doing, what I hate a lot: painting woodwork and walls. :evil:
But I first has to select some colors, and I got my inspiration from these great arcades
R.I.P.
So I choose the colors purple for the switch cabinet, orange for both sides of the two smaller dividing walls and night-blue for the other walls. I painted the window- and door frames with ‘Rambo Pantserbeits’ boerenwit. I like the color and I still had two pints of it. And because paint is very expensive nowadays, I just as well use it.
Did I already say that I hate paintjobs? I mean, everything takes so long. First you have to clean the woodwork, then you have to cover the walls because you don’t want to have paint on the walls, do you? Then you have to put a layer of primer on it, then sand it, then the first coat of paint, sand it again, then the second coat of paint. And then ….. remove the bugs and other insects which got stuck in the wet paint …. And start over again with the second layer, after sanding of course.
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. :evil:
And about wall paint, never believe what shop assistants tell you. I bought my wall paint at the Praxis, and this girl told me that the orange paint would cover in one layer, one. I looked in here beautiful eyses and I believed here. Stupid me, of course it took 3 layers!!
But finally I got about halfway now, all the woodwork is done, as are the dividing walls (yeah I know, orange …. ) and the switch cabinet. So today I covered everything, including a stroke of the ceiling, and now I’m ready for the final paintjob: the four walls. This means about 60 m2. Times 3!!! Fortunately I have a week holiday this week, and who wants to enjoy the spring sun if he can enjoy some painting? :'(
Anyway, enough complaining, here are some fresh photo’s, taken today.

Sigma verf is inderdaad top, maar dan doe ik er liever toch maar wat langer over. Verf is al duur genoeg.

Weer een update, de muren zijn nu geverfd en de vloer ligt er in.
Het laatste stukje, om er vervolgens achter te kome dat de muren een tweede laag nodig hebben.
Vloer leggen:
Tot zover. Het enige dat nu nog gedaan moet worden zijn de vloerplinten en het aansluiten van de electra. Normaal gesproken zou ik de electra eerder doen, maar door omstandigheden gebeurt dat helaas later. Niet de ideale volgorde, maar ja ....
Vorige week heb ik trouwens ook deze neon gekocht, zal mooi zijn in de gameroom
En de volgende neon zal deze zijn:
Vandaag ook nog een paar games naar binnen gebracht, op een tijdelijke plek:

In dat paarse kastje komen straks alle schakelaars, voor het licht, voor de stopcontacten etc.
