Ahh. Got the bit of patch trim around the moulding in the halls done, also installed the new smoke detectors.

I think that the next project after the living room painting will be to build a L-shaped desk that allows me to face the corner while using the computer. I’m still not sure if I want a freestanding desk or if I want one that hangs on the wall. The freestanding desk has the advantage of being movable, should I ever want my desk elsewhere. The on-the-wall the desk has the advantage of providing more leg room, possibly easier cable management, and just looking cooler. I still don’t know how I’d hang the desk on the wall, but the more I think about it, the more I wish I could weld nice steel supports and epoxy coat them, then place a nice glass top on the desk. If I go with the hanging-on-the-wall desk, I’ll likely end up with something wood, supported with metal (steel or iron) braces, with a plastic laminate on the top. If the stand-alone desk is built, then there will be two end panels, a center support in the corner, and cable management hangers. Well, I guess we’ll just have to see what ends up getting done… This project is probably a month out at this point.

What does everyone think, though? Free-standing desk, or one that hangs off of the wall? I’ve had my desk in it’s current position for the last ~2 years I’ve lived here, and I’m pretty happy with it here. The only way I’d move it is if someone moved in here or something.
