What's so great about Handy Manny?

I mean his tools do all the work right? He just sits back reaps the benefits and takes all the credit. I need a job like that!
This is just one of the observations I've made this week while on vacation.
We're still working on plans for the big toy room remodel, but at my insistance they are on hold until later this week. DH wanted to just clear out the room and move toys. I put my foot down, insisting if we're going to do this then we're going to do it right. If I can't hang drywall and replace carpeting I at least get to fix it up to some of my semi-standards. I know I promised pics, but it being the storage room for all of Santa's presents things were a bit crazy this past week. We're also at odds just which room to use.
Upstairs is typical of the bungalow style homes in this area. 2 rooms with entry to one depending on the other. Currently the back room is my office and the front a guest room. DH wants to leave the guest room as is and dismantle the office. I'm fine with that ... however ... I think we should move the guest room and put the toy room at the front of the house. There are many reasons for this.

1. It's bigger and has 2 closets for storage.
2. The back room is the entry to the whole upstairs. Meaning there is an open landing to the staircase and a 1 foot edge that runs along above the steps themselves.
3. If we do have guests I would prefer them not to have to stumble through the toy room to get to bed.
4. The doorway is easily gated.

So we're at a standstill. I plan on hitting the store for some paint samples this week although DH is still against painting the paneling.
I'll win though, I always do. ;)
