Loft Bed Post 1

Today we started the loft bed for our daughter's bed room. She wanted bunk beds with a twin over a full. We talked her into just a full loft bed and we'll put a desk and bookcase underneath. She was OK with that. I used one of Ana White's plans as the basis for the loft bed. Here is the plan.

I made a few changes to to Ana White's plans:

• I raised it from 63 to 70 inches.
• It's a full bed so it's bigger 54"x75".  
• 2x4's instead of 1x4's for the legs
• 3 1x4's at the top and 1 2x4 instead of another set of 3 1x4's.
• 2x3's for the ladder steps.

Hopefully my math was correct and the measurements will work. So far so good.

 All the boards measured and cut.

 The back section. Need to add the lower cross 2x4.

The start of the front ladder.  Need to add the other leg and cross pieces.
