TBH I would invest in doing a floor pour for ur foundation. Just saying. Definitely makes a bigger difference depending on where you live, but it also gives you a ton more options for various things with it, like deciding to build an underground bunker 😉 I know it sounds crazy but it's the coolest thing to bust out to company when showing off a place like that. Mine was my man-cave originally until I built it and then decided to build an even bigger underground bunker under it. Then it became like a little chill/smoke game area with my PS4 and PSTV etc so my PS4 can connect to my PS5 and play via system connect etc. But when theu ask about "all these arcade games etc they have been hearing about" and you either pop a latch or in my case I hit a switch that pops up a hidden door. When they get underground via steps albeit slightly tight with head room going down, they see an enormous T.V connected to a custom built walk up 4 player cabinet setup where you can go and choose your games. I did purchase a set of the Terminator 2 gunner arcade games since they come with the guns and everything already setup to play. Then sleeping area off to the side (cause if ur gonna have a bunker it obviously needs to have a sleeping area and food storage just incase. Otherwise u will regret that shit should u need it) and food storage off in a seperate little space I carved out underground that is designed for air flow to keep things much cooler. I

I dig the workmanship…I just question where anyone of us who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s finds the time to actually play these silly games anymore. I, personally, am enjoying my ONE day off for the week and too exhausted to even pop Super Mario Bros into my NES and turn on the power. And even if I got that far and played the thing for 5 minutes, I’m never going to get that time back! Seems to me all that time and money would be better spent on hookers and fine Colombian blow.

If I went with brick, it would have pushed it out of the realistic price territory. They also didn’t really give me the option for anything like that. I’m overly paranoid about it. We’ve never actually had a tornado here, maybe a microburst or two. If I’d had a much larger budget, I would have preferred a concrete foundation instead of it sitting on blocks. The building could have sat lower and the walls would have been anchored to the concrete.

[@sergeantseven4240]

I wonder if there is a weight limit concern with a shed on pillons like that... those classic og cabinets are heavy as hell.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

I checked with the manufacturer of the building and they said it would hold the weight. There’s a LOT of concrete leveling blocks supporting each of the floor beams. They’re very close together too supporting the floor in many spots. I think they’re 2 feet apart because I had to crawl under it to install the ground anchors and couldn’t get myself between some of them lol.

[@davidbanner9001]

I don't understand the base the shed is standing on? It looks very, very unstable?

[@KillerArcadeGames]

It’s essentially a pier and beam construction. Similar to a mobile home. Tons of cinder blocks were placed underneath to hold up the frame and level it. Then I added those straps which are 3 feet in the ground, encased in concrete with a metal strap bolted to the frame in seven places. Concrete would have been far too expensive and would have required lots of grading changes to the yard.

[@redherring5532]

Man thats a nice size, whats the floor dimensions of the shed? Working on doing one myself

It’s 216 square feet. 12x18 feet. It’s one big open room. I wish I had room to make a bathroom and storage but I’d need a much bigger shed. My plan is to buy land for my next house, hopefully. Then I can have plenty of room to build.

It would. All of my planning ahead of time didnt account for how high it would sit. When they started building I was stunned by it. If I had known, I may have opted for concrete if I could afford it. Once it was done, I had to scramble for a not only reasonably priced option for skirting but one I could actually pull off. This was the first time I’d done any kind of construction work. My neighbor hadn’t stepped in to help at that point or he probably would have pushed for siding. I’ll keep it as it is for a while but will have to change it eventually.

[@TheRealCaptainFreedom]

Question: how do you move games in and out of the shed?

[@KillerArcadeGames]

It’s not as tough as you’d think. A good dolly and a friend is usually enough. But recently, my wife and I moved the MK4 cabinet in ourselves with the dolly. I just took the monitor out and removed the control box. That took probably 100 pounds off and it was much easier to move. The racing cabinets typically separate into two pieces, the seat section detaches after removing some screws and you can move them easier. That said, the Rush the Rock cabinet is one big, heavy piece lol. The only way to remove the seat is to literally cut the it off. But that’s risky since wiring for the speakers in the seat run through it. So my friend, neighbor and I just moved it. We laid it on the stairs seat first, then lifted the main cabinet section up. It was much easier than I thought. The hardest one to get in the shed was Target Terror. That thing must weigh 500 pounds or is awkwardly weighted.

Rent a tiller and till your yard 3-4 inches. Spread new grass. Rake the seed into the loose soil. Put down hay/straw. Spreading grass food also helps. Water the lawn 30 minutes in the AM and 30 minutes in the evening every day for 2 weeks unless it rains.

[@SoberJokR]

[@MrDarvis69]

I did a similar project. Built a 10X12 shed and turned it into a home office. I've had mine for about 6 years with no major issues. An unsolicited tip: for those rock patch you have on the left and right of the entrance if you want you can easily fill in those spots with holly bushes. Lowes sells little ones for about 20 bucks a plant. They grow fast, are hardy and keep their leaves in winter. After about two years you will need to start pruning them but they only really need to be cut twice a year, once if you don't mind them being a little shaggy. A slight downside is if you over prune the plants or animals start eating on them the leaves will become very sharp. But if you leave them alone they are a fine landscaping plant and need little to no maintenance. The roots can go down to about 17-25 inches, so best not to plant them over any wiring that is not encased in PVC pipe. Alternatively you could also use Juniper bushes. I have a couple of them too. They grow VERY slow and their needles can be sharp but I have not had to prune them in the 6 years I have had'em.

@@KillerArcadeGames Understood. But still, it is not that big. And if it was me, then mine would be a lot wider and longer. Cause, i would put tons of arcade machines in there, and not just arcade machines. Sadly, i can't afford any of the arcades. But also, even if i could afford them, i would not dare to put them in my house because of my cats. I mean, i don't want to wake up and find out a tons of cat poop on my arcade cabinet.

If your wife loved going in there.... you could've named it... The Ourcade

[@RemoWilliams1227]

It's funny that's exactly how the convo would go with my wife too. "Honey I want a shedcade" - "OK but isn't that expensive....?"

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Hahah she comes to me with some expensive ideas but this one takes the cake.

I love this. I subscribed.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Thanks!

[@billlumberge3508]

What I found is that it’s not an arcade unless it’s public and anyone can fill it anytime. I also own an garage Cade but with just me in it - it’s just a geek-cade

[@yOGlo]

Man it looks fun asf in there

[@KillerArcadeGames]

It’s pretty fun! I really enjoy it.

Sold our house a year ago and am looking to buy one in our budget that has a 2 car garage and a basement big enough to fit a couple of full size arcades. This is very inspiring to know that a seemingly decent person - (don't know you personally ;) - can dream and achieve some happiness.

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Oh man, basements are a bonus! We don’t have them here in Texas. I’ve only seen a few and my job is pest control so I see tons of houses. My wife took me to Denver once, she lived there for a while and showed me someone’s basement. I was stunned by how huge it was. They’re great for arcades. My only fear would be flooding. Thanks for checking out the video.

Some people have all the luck in the world, just kidding i'm happy you can have your childhood at your home. Grtz to you and Mrs KAG

[@KillerArcadeGames]

Thanks man! I am grateful to have it.

I assume somebody has already pointed out that the reason that "waterproof" outlet leaked is because it is stuck on to the outside of the shed rather than recessed into the wall (like any other exterior outlet). Still an easy fix and something you should do sooner rather than later.
