Well the bed isn't anything spectacular.. but here are two shots:

Bed Pic 1
Bed Pic 2

I pulled down a 100 year old chicken house this summer, and the wood I used for the bed was wood used for the side boards on that 100 year old chicken house.

It's solid enough for a 200lbs guy and a 240lbs guy to hop up and down in the back at the same time (my brother and I tested it) but this comming summer i'll probably replace them again with new boards.

For the blocks that go between the frame and the bed, I ended up using 2 1/2 inch long chunks of pressure treated 4x4's and that worked out quite nicely.

Did it all with the bed still sagging on the frame.. once I worked out how to "jack up" each side of the bed to put the wood in on the sides, it went pretty smoothly.


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
