Let There Be Light

Our kitchen light fixture wasn't working.  I finally got around to checking out if it was fixture, the wiring or the switch. The fixture was the issue.  A quick to Lowes for a new fixture and got it up and working at least for now. I only wired up the one switch. But for now, it works.

Loft Bed Post 2

Here is the correct front of the loft bed. The ladder is wider (compare it to here).

The puttied areas and the rest of the bed need sanding, staining, disassembling and installed.

Loft Bed Corrections

Repeat after me: A 2" x4" is 3.5" not 2.5" wide. That mistake cost me 2" from the length of the bed. I can offset the end pieces by an inch to recover but it was a dumb mistake that if I bothered to measure could have been (and should have been) avoided. Measure twice, cut once.

Other than that it looks pretty good. I demo'ed the original ladder which was only 13" wide. I made it 20" now. It looks better, is more stable, and someone over the age of 7 can get up into the bed.

I puttied some holes and filled some cracks. On to the sanding and staining. I put some of the desk together using left over wood. It should be nice and big. Pictures tomorrow.
