Thursday August 27th brings the first day of construction for the new Laser Storm arena. I plan on starting around 6pm. This first day is going to involve clearing things out of the way (rather large task), and planning the location of the walls.

For all those wanting to lend a hand, send me a message on Facebook, or give me a call.

If I'm by myself on this, it will take a few months, with enough help we can get it done in weeks. I plan on working on this Thursdays and Fridays.

Checklist:
-Clear out the area that will be the arena
-Plan the final position of the walls
-Purchase the building materials
-Construct the frame
-Run wiring in frame
-Drywall, mud, sand, mud, sand...
-Paint
-Order batteries for Equipment
-Hang the Grid
-Install Energizers
-Install Computer and test energizers
-Re-build Jester's pods, install, test
-Create the first arena
-Install racks to hold the player units, so they can be stored and charged.
-Play

Decisions have to be made about the final size of the arena, location and size of vesting and briefing rooms if any, and where the computer is going to be.
These decisions will be made Thursday night, so if you want a say, you need to be there.

It'd prolly be a good idea to make a separate room for vests/briefing...if anything, it'll give a place for captains meetings at any type of tournament, unless you are planning on cutting off a separate room for things such as that.

I was thinking that, just depends on how we are going to do it. We could easily build a 3,000 sq foot arena only having to build 1 wall, but there would be no extra rooms and the entrance to the arena would be on a long wall, instead of a short one with two entrances.
