Murphey Bed building #2: Murphey Bed

Ok…I’m half way through the instructions for the murphey bed and all is well in the construction business! The best thing I did was getting my friendly lumber yard to cut out the plywood pieces. The guy there cut everything to exact dimensions which made my task a lot easier. It was money well spent as anyone who’s tried to cut a full 3/4” sheet to exact dimentions by themselves will attest….”it ain’t easy!” So have a look at the pictures…they’re self explanitory. The instructions and the video are excellent quality and take you baby-step by baby-step through the whole process. The bed gets heavier and heavier after each step, so make sure you do you’re warm-up exercises first! I’m at the point of installing the hardware, then its on to the side panels….then, I would imagine, it’s time for some paint before transfering into the house… I’m thinking of buying myself a paint sprayer to make the job look a little more professional and make it go quicker too.

I think I’ve just embedded a slide show…..oh well…should be interesting.
