Kevin’s Vent

After spending several hundred dollars on wood and hardware, it was time to cut, sand, nail and glue. 8 Year old Natalyn got a pretty good picture of me at work.

Of course any construction job is union operated and needs proper staffing. Supervision, Cleanup and Transportation are vital.

It took me about 2 weeks of random evenings to cut all the large pieces, sand them, and prime them with a base coat. Then I started assembly in the downstairs bedroom.

Since I was installing lights and electrical outlets in the bed, as well as building shelves and storage bins in the headboard, it took me another two weeks, including Saturdays, to finish assembly.

Of course it’s still not done, it needs to be painted and the hardware attached, which will still take a while, but the main structure is done, and the kids can climb on it, so as far as their concerned it’s good to go. Katie said to me before she went to bed “Daddy, if I get up early in the morning, you’ll find me playing on the Castle Bunk Bed”. I think it’s a hit!
