Bunkbeds
You've moved into the new house and everyone is planning a visit. Your daughter is bringing her four boys. The normal guest room set up will just not do. Four boys on a queen bed? Not a chance. Or maybe you have growing children and you want them to have their own set of bunk beds.What to do? Simple put in a couple of sets of bunk beds. True story! I had recently moved into a large 5 bedroom house to accommodate my growing family and this was the situation I was faced with. A room with two sets of bunkbeds would be the perfect solution so it was off to the furniture store to look at them....
Now maybe it's just me, I don't know, but I looked at all types of bunk beds, from the standard over under set up to the 'L' shape to the 'toy house playroom style' (whatever that means, but it did have a slide) and I have to tell you, I was shocked at the pricing. From $600-$700, all of the way up to $1,000! Well, I have to say, that it was just not in the budget. I then set myself on a path I intend to share with you today. Building my very own set (in this case, 'sets' ) of bunk beds. As it turns out, they are easy to build and Inexpensive.
I've worked with wood for years, skills learned from my Grand father who was a master carpenter. I work with it only as a hobby, but still remember my way around the tools necessary. The best part? I still remember how to cut a straight line with a handsaw. I simply had to choose the pattern I wanted to build. That was a bit of a process...
