A bit more progress. The room walls have been painted and I put the brick wallpaper up tonight. It's a textured wallpaper and really does look like real brick. I like the warmth that it brings the room. I still need to put up the crown moulding, and paint the trim white. I'm also going to install a 20A outlet. Otherwise, the room prep is just about done.
I wrapped the wallpaper around the window opening, which was a bit of a challenge:
And I also started welding up the long bench. Not much to see here- just one leg finished. This is 2" square tubing 11 gauge and I'm stick welding it with 6013 rod. I only have a buzzbox welder and although I bought some 7018AC rods, they still don't weld well on AC. I can put down a decent enough bead with the 6013.
