The trident in the road

Quite a bit of progress has been made. For the most part the rooms are done, but empty and lifeless. They are just waiting to be cozied up. It's also time for me to make a crucial decision as to what room I want to spend the next year of my life in. If you got the hint, there are 3 choices, all with pros and cons.

2nd floor -
Pro -Medium size, tall ceilings, original woodwork, turqoise blue, original dark wood floor, soon to be working fireplace, grand pocket door, my own bathroom.
Cons - Bathroom is on 1st floor, down a few steps, next to living room, which I'll probably stake as my own territory, because I can.

3rd back - Biggest room by a few extra cf, semi walk in closet, fauxerplace, shared bathroom next door.

3rd front - Smallest room, semi NYC view, street view with street lights and nice urban feel. 4 windows, shared bathroom next door.

Pictures to be posted tonight. Oh this is tough.

Lesson learned

Always pack extra nails, and I'd assume screws too.

I feel foolish thinking how many times I ran downstairs to get a few more finishing nails. Not entirely my fault, I had no idea how hard the surface of brick paneling is, and that it could repeatedly bend fine finishing nails. I also didn't want to load up my tool belt with these little nails I assumed I would only need a few of.

Cliffs - There are no shortcuts, always stock your toolbelt correctly, brick paneling is pretty tough.

As usual, no pictures of the new "brick" chase. Also, please don't give me crap about the brick paneling. And I'll make it look natural, I promise.
