5 days and i’m still not done… well it’s not only been 5 days.. more like.. 5 months work in progress.. see.. i started off buiilding my bed for the room… (ok… so i built the bed frame.. like 2 years ago.. and i mounted it on the wall at 5 ft from the floor.. but the i got bored of it.. and i decided to change it a little 5 months ago…) so.. 5 months ago… i unscrewed the frame from the wall.. and well.. refitted it up about 5 feet 9 inches of the ground.. so that i could at least walk below it… but!! i didnt have the time to built a leg for the bed..since at that time i was still trying to complete my degree… SO NOW.. since i’ve graduated.. i thought.. hey, lets finish what i started.. and since i’m gonna get a job soon (WELL LETS HOPE VERY SOON) i need a place to put a tv… a nice couch and stuf under the bed so i can have my own little ‘one room apartment’ in my 10.5 ft X 9 ft room….
so thats my bed now.. 5 feet 9 inches up from the floor… eh disregard the plywood i clamped on to the side la ok?? coz like i haven’t build the bed rail yet la… i put the ply wood there so that i won’t fall off the bed while sleeping and break my neck lo…. anyway i’m still figuring out how i wanna design and build the bed rail for that…. hehe.. notice the ladder beside the bed? (its the grey thingy there…) thats what i used to climb up for now…
so.. 5 days ago i started building something else for the bed.. i wanted it to be special and custom looking..so few days ago.. i sat at my computer and opened up autocad to get me meassurements right… and started cutting up wood.. wood in this case happened to be my old table top which was black…. and this is the progress so far…
sadly .. since the tabletop which i cut to make the steps was black.. i couldn’t sand the plywood to its original colour… so i guess i gotta paint it some sold colour!.. would love to have it in natural wood tho.. would really match the bed and my table… bleh.. now i’m figuring what colour to paint it.. or perhaps i shall listen to what the rolling stones say… and paint it black… hopefully i can finish the ’spiral staircase’ by tomorrow.. cause i still have to build a few more reinforcing bars for the steps.. then i can start my next project! the bed rail!
and about the pics.. my lousy phone can’t take clear pictures… and i’m too damn lazy to walk downstairs and scavenge for AA size batteries for it…
