Home Project - Finished Product Take Two

When my wife showed the finished product I posted last June 4, my kids were excited and even tried to argue who takes the top bunk. However, Miggy said, I would sleep there if there is a matress on it LOL. Finally after over two weeks of searching, I was able to buy two for 130 CAD. So the total cost I incurred including the brand new matresses (excluding the toys LOL) I would say is 180 CAD. Not bad eh!

Now aside from the matress, I also showed some toys so they would really get excited.

Home Project - Finished Product

I finally put the bunk bed together. I am glad that I was able to find all the necessary components needed to assemble it.



Mission accomplished.

Home Project - Assembly

I woke up early this morning and I am very eager to start on my home project. I screwed the posts together employing a heavy duty brackets made by Stanley. At the end of the day, I am almost halfway done. I stopped after 7 PM. I was worried occupants on the second floor might complain about the noise I was making.

The last photo is what the bunk bed looked like when I stopped working. I will get back to it next weekend. If I will not be lazy LOL.

Home Project - Preparation

Thanks Stephen for the bunk bed parts and for helping me transport it. Now I have something to do this weekend. A new project that makes me so excited.

After checking the parts, I found out I need to buy some stuff. Some of the parts are missing so I listed it and headed to a hardware store and bought it. The following are the things I got and the prices in CAD:

1. Wooden Planks - 22.65
2. Screws and Nails - 7.89
3. Brackets - 9.12

Total balance is 39.66 which is still better thank buying a brand new bunk bed which is easily 200 bucks. I also bought a saw, plier and tape measure but since it is reusable I did not include it in the project cost.
