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.
