Murphy Bed 2

I have fininshed most of the trim for all the shevles and uploaded an updated pciture. Now I'm onto building doors. We are putting doors on the top two shelves on each book case. I'll hopefully have them done next Saturday, but we'll see how the week goes.

Murphy Bed 1

I’m working on a Murphy bed that we bought for our guest room. A Murphy bed is a bed that folds up into the wall as you would typically see in a studio apartment. However, we put one in our guest room to make it a play room for the kids. We didn’t have guests enough to justify only having a guest room, but still wanted guests to have a place to sleep if they come to visit. I bought the frame that provides the folding mechanism and now I’m building book cases and a frame and doors to hide the bed. The bookcases are going to be on each side of the bed and the bed will be enclosed by the doors. I’ve also posted pictures of the progress so far on the bed and will continue to update as progress continues.

Cruise

I saw Bryce and Cathi tonight and they pointed out that it has ALMOST been two months since my last post. So, in order to avoid the “last update” to say two months, I’m going to do a short update.

We went on a cruise to the eastern Caribbean the 15th through the 22nd of November and I’ve posted pictures if you are interested. There are a lot of pictures, so consider yourself warned. We visited Grand Turk, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, and Bahamas. The cruise line was Holland America and the reason we chose them is because it was free because I had Marriot points that qualified us for the cruise. It was 185,000 points, which I lost track of how long we’ve been saving them. But, it was fun for the most part. We both got seasick one day and were pretty miserable for a few hours. The food was great, the performances were fun, even though I got volunteered twice which I’m not going to include details about. But, I won’t stop LaDonna if she wants to tell the stories.
