    I am trying to decide which bed to go with the Full bed or the Futon!

    Futon set = Ivy League 3 Pc Merlot Bunk Bedroom :: Rooms To Go Kids - Kids Bedroom Sets

    Full Bed Set = Cottage Colors Black 3 Pc Full Bookcase Bedroom :: Rooms To Go Kids - Kids Bedroom Sets

    But i have decided on what desk to get

    Desk = Bush Portsmouth Reversible Corner Desk | Staples®

    But i don't have a official answer we are looking at this project will take 1 month over the course of 5 weekends and i probably will be sleeping on a air mattress during that month.

    We start removing stuff from my room on Friday Night to Sunday Afternoon just like unneeded stuff then we will be removing my bed set in 2 weeks then at the same time we will be filling the holes in my walls and repainting my room and i shall be sleeping on a Airbed! FUN!!! :) LoL then we will be moving the new furniture into my room in about 4 weeks! I can't Wait to start building!!!

    Ok Brett,

    Having seen what you are removing versus what you have worked out thus far? I have to say that the new plan and furnishings, colors, etc are going to be a HUGE step up and improvement for sure! No wonder you are so excited - holy moly!

    :)

    LoL......

    "patience, grasshoppah!"

    by the way, got your note about the new measurement - that is actually going to work in your favor i think....i will tweak the files for you tomorrow once I am in my office again.

    while you are at it, double check to be sure you have electrical outlets near where all your electronic stuff / tank equipment is going to be - so you can be sure you have enough power where you will need it.

    :)

    If you are talking about drywall? Yeah - you will need patching compound aka drywall spackle - granted, if you are talking about "wall craters" that might involve a little more.

    Try googling DIY drywall spackling or drywall hole repair - just to get a bit enlightened on that topic :) You will likely want to do some patching before you point the walls with that cool color you picked out.

    You basically fill the holes with spackle (applied with a wide blade type applicator) you let it set up and then sand it smooth.

    when i was in college, i used toothpaste - but trust me - you really want to do this the right way :D
