DIY Storage Bed

By -

A couple weeks ago I was digging under my bed for my shoes (I'm really organized).  As I reached under there my hand was stabbed by a jagged piece of my box springs.  A little more investigating told me that 5 of the the 10 crossbars on there were cracked in half.   I had always wanted a storage bed but when I saw the prices ($299 and up) online I was taken aback.  I then found this link on Pinterest - Storage Bed Plans - and decided to give it a go.  I priced the wood and decided that with a few tweaks I could make this bed for about half the price of a pre-made storage bed.  Plus those IKEA beds and the like are made out of cheap particle board and veneer.  To be honest, I really thought it was going to take me months to get around to doing it because I know how I usually procrastinate.  I bought the wood on June 30th and started work on it July 4th.  I just finished it today and I have to say that I'm a bit shocked I actually complet...

Chena playing in the woods Her first water experience Sleeping at Ron and Lorraine's Rach taught her to get on the bed. :-( Chena with her first toy.... She ate it... oops Usually for me(Bradford), around March/April, I get spring fever and I need some change.  It all started with working in Alaska.  Around this time I would usually zone out of whatever else I was doing and concentrate on getting ready for Alaska.  So this year we have made the unfortunate decision to not go to AK, so we were itching for some change.  So, we decided to get a puppy.  We went to PetSmart and they said that the Humane Society comes on Saturdays.  As is usual with Rach and I, once we make a decision we get it done quick.  So that weekend we found Chena.  She is a Yellow Lab/Golden Retriever mix.  She was 6 months old when we adopted her.  She and her siblings were found on the side of the highway abandoned.  We named her Chena after a river in Alaska.  Our second choice was Nuchalawaya (inside joke).  ...

Caribbean Cruise

Okay I just wanted to brag a little. For working in Alaska for Royal Celebrity/Caribbean last summer, Brad and I both get basically a free cruise. We have to pay taxes and gratuities. So it works out to about $20 a day. Brad has been promising his parents for 3 summers that he would take them, so we decided to take both of our parents. We get two cabins on the boat, I'm not sure how all six of us are going to sleep but it will all work out somehow. We have to go on a stand by basis. We picked two Eastern Caribbean Cruises that leave in February. They both leave around our one year anniversary. So we get to spend it with our parents. One is an 7 day and the other is 8 days. We bought our plane tickets and its official. We won't know until a few days before the cruise if we get on but it will still be a fun adventure if we won't. Wish us luck, everyone needs a vacation from the snow in February. You can all count down with us, that is why I put the countdown on ou...
