Done!

The second bedroom is done! I finished nailing , caulking and filling the nail holes last night and painted early this afternoon. After clearing all the crap out, I vacuumed and then used my sister's carpet steamer to clean the floor. It's looking pretty good. Next I've got to clean up the huuuge mess that's accrued since I started this home renovation stuff.

In addition to the completion of the 2nd bedroom, today also marked the first day that I've turned on the heat. It was brought to my attention yesterday by my sister that my house was ass-freezing cold. I guess I hadn't noticed having spent a couple winters at 216 Willow, where the temperature regularly dropped into the low/mid 50's inside the house.

The heat was running throughout today, but I've turned it off for now. Around dinner time, I started feeling a bit of a headache, but attributed it to either dehydration or low blood sugar (I got caught up in working on stuff and kind of skipped lunch). After a bunch of water, some food and a coke (I kind of suspected caffeine withdrawal too) the headache hasn't gone away. Concerned that it might be caused by my heater dumping carbon monoxide into my house, I turned off the heater for now. I'll probably run out to Target or something tomorrow and grab a carbon monoxide detector before I fire up the heat again.

Until then, I'll be the dude wearing a scarf and jacket inside his house (playing guitar hero iii if this headache goes away :)
