The boys are now sharing a room! I will start by saying it has gone pretty well (knock on some wood!!) We decided this for many reasons but a few of them being 1. Most houses we looked at to rent had 3 bedrooms and we wanted to have an "extra" room. 2. Blake was still in a toddler bed so we were going to have to make some kind of mattress purchase or bed change. 3. Better do it now if we are going to do it at some point (it should be good for them, right?) and 4. I think Jason has probably always wanted a bed like this ;)
So what better to do on a rainy day....go to Home Depot and purchase the wood. Blake was an awesome help unloading it!
Stacking the wood for his new bed! (please pardon the garage....unpacking the inside and getting Blake a bed were priority)
The next night a little bit of cutting began. The night after that our wonderful new neighbors saw Jason working and brought over his saw and the cutting was done much faster! Thank you thank you!
Next night the sanding process! (it sounds like it took many nights but it was actually only worked on about an hour each night)
Caden sawing :) This wasn't for the bed but he had fun!
Assembly began!
You must measure and remeasure!
Make sure it is level!
And we better measure again to make sure!
Everyone wanted a turn with the electric drill!!
Getting closer!! We had to take a break at this point to go get one more piece of wood for the rail and a new mattress!
By the time we got home it was late so we put the boys in our bed to sleep so we could get things finished up and cleaned up!
I don't think this slide will hold me!! The boys are going to love it!
It is COMPLETE!!!
We moved the boys to the bed after it was done and Blake is on the top and Caden is on the bottom. I could hear them when they woke up the next morning laughing and saying "this is awesome!". They do have such a cool daddy! I am so glad Jason did this for them and is able to do this! Now mommy needs to get busy and paint it!
