Well, I'm a leftie and I DO think I can handle stress better than my partner. That said, I always like to be on the side furthest from the door ---- in case of an intruder? I dont know.

I'm a DIY'er and own an air gun and compressor ---- one of my most favorite tools. Used it to do a similar paneling job on our dining room ---- no need to nail into studs ---- the nails have a thin layer of dried glue on them. When they shoot through the wood the glue heats up and then hardens immediately. I wouldnt use for structural applications but have hung crown molding etc with not issues.

@alyshak: doesnt heat/smoke rise? I've always heard you crawl on the floor if your house is ablaze because it's cleaner air down there. Are you saying you mount your fire alarms on the floor?

You'll be the one dead if so, because smoke fills the top of the room first.

Not a fan ----- so you tell your kid when the bird chirps run like hell or stop drop and roll or else you'll die?

Keep cute things cute and practical life saving things boring round and off white.

They do make very heavy duty storage bins that are much stronger than the types bought for $3 in red and green at Xmas time. Additionally, you could cut down the weight by storing bulky but lighter things ---- a comforter in the summertime?
