The last few days, actually the last few weeks or really to be honest the last 6 months or more, I've been lying on a mattress on the floor. Ben about 6 months ago, found a bed frame dumped near his work. He bought it home from me and I had big plans!
Little did I know how much work would go into this beast, I failed with spray painting, I bought my first ever saw, I learnt about drilling and screwing and covered my hand full of blisters. I researched right angle drills and had to work out a few tricky wood working solutions (which my mind doesn't work out easily!) I also had to tackle going into a hardware store way too many times. I made sure to go to several across the coast. I don't know what it is but hardware people are sometimes too helpful, not helpful at all or straight out patronising. I don't know if guys are born knowing how to use hardware-esque things but I'm pretty sure you have to learn somewhere and so did I!
So anyway this is the before
Getting there!
and the after, many many hours after!
TA DAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I have to say this beast is sound, I even bought extra brackets to reinforce it all... Very impressed. It was surreal sleeping off the ground, for the first time, a few nights ago. I'm still not use to it, to be honest and have this irrational fear I'm going to fall off or fall through, despite my confidence of it's sound-ness :P
In completely crazy happy news, BEN IS BACK TOMORROW! I can't believe it!!!
I'm going to a design conference during the day and then hopefully I'll get a text from Ben saying 'come pick me up'
Cannot wait, I have butterflies in my stomach and to be honest, I'm not sure how sound my sleep tonight will be :P Weeeeeeeeee
