Here’s what I hope to be doing on Sunday…

Final assembly of the lower beds

That’s a picture of the beds I’ve been building for the kids. These are loft/bunk style beds, where they will fit together in an “L” shape. The high beds are lower than a typical bunk, which is why they must be in the “L” configuration. There will only be enough room under the high bed for the occupant of the lower bed to fit their feet under it. If they tried to put their head under there, aside from some claustrophobia, they’d probably crack their head on the underside of the high bed if they moved.

So the low beds are complete except for a finish, and the high beds are nearly ready for assembly. Some sanding is still required, and I still need to build the rails and the ladders. The plan is to put the finish on everything while I’m on vacation the week of Labor Day.

Once that is all done, the final phase of the project will be to build chests of drawers to fit under the exposed end of the high beds. Who knows how long that will take. It’s been most of a year to finish four beds!
