Thanks for the advice.

I have a strange hobby. I collect and restore old arcade games.. that
weigh in at an average of about 275lbs each and have a foot print of
about 2'wide x 3'deep each. I have a spare 10' x 11' bed room (in a
third floor condo) and I am trying to figure out if the room can handle
the weight of 9 games. I will have the games positioned around the
edge of the room so.. I figure that if the joists are going 'with'
the games I will probably have at beast 2 joists supporting 4 games and
of the joists are going 'against' the games I will probably have
about 2 joists supporting 2 games which might be better.

If anybody more familiar with construction loads can give me some
advice that would be great. I think current building code in WA is a
minimum of 30lbs per square foot live load but I have received so much
input on the issue (negative and positive) that I am a little confused
at the moment. I know people do heavy fish tanks, water beads, grand
pianos, weight machines, etc, etc but I might be talking about a little
more weight than most of those.

Thanks, Ryan
