Covid 19 projects

[Johnsond]

Hi All 

Pretty much ground to a standstill work wise so the mrs has been hitting me with painting and wallpapering tasks indoors ??. Trying to justify being outside and messing about with timber so knocked up a single bed from leftovers of a log store build and some ash planks, not high end furniture for sure but sturdy and should do the trick. Most importantly it kept me outside and busy for a day.

Looks like a nice job to me and have slept a fair bit in my time so consider myself an expert

Nice job but do something with that head board for gods sake. Nice chunky sub frame build and you stick a ranch rail 4x1 head board on it ? shocking

I shall pass you onto the mrs, my intentions was some live edge type stuff but it’s sometimes best to defer. Did I somehow break the approved bed headboard construction etiquette !!! ?‍♂️?‍♂️

I would have thought that seeing my loony daughters (2 and 5) all the time would have been enough of a contraceptive, but I was wrong!
