The Gameroom
Jeffrey Zweizig Jeff Zweizig

My gameroom is under construction, therefore, so is this web page.

Thus far, I have walls and ceiling up in only half the gameroom. I have yet to put any effort into decor. The room is completely sterile.

Eventually the finished room will be around 800 sqft. There'll be a small kitchen area with a refrigerator, sink and microwave (a.k.a. the adult beverage and snack center). The nearby bathroom is already done.

Can't have a basement gameroom without a man-friendly basement bathroom. Having a home urinal fulfills one of my life's ambitions.

Background

We moved into our new home around 2004. The home featured more than 2,000 sqft of unfinished basement. There was nothing down here but the furnace and a stairway. During the winter of 05/06 I built a 3/4 bathroom (with urinal, of course). The next winter I built my home office. Now, this winter, I'm finally doing the gameroom. Next winter I'll do my shop and, hopefully, that'll be it.

The "gameroom" was completely unfinished when I first started buying games.

Electrical and Lights...

The gameroom is powered from six outlet circuits. There are three 20 amp unswitched circuits for games and such. There are three 15 amp switched circuits for lamps and neon signs and the like. I settled on the convention of double boxes distributed along the walls at four foot intervals. The left-side white outlets are unswitched. The right-side ivory outlets are switched and correspond to a bank of three ivory switches near the room's entrance.

There's also a system of 2'x4' florescent ceiling fixtures when bright light is needed.
