July round up
DIY repair job
In my previous post, I noted how much I love the new murphy bed. It was a big job getting to and into the house (had to come in a back door) and while it arrived relatively intact, it did suffer a small injury along the way.
Part of the side panel bent and broke off as it was being rolled in over gravel on two dollies
The injury from a different angle
Patrick and I went to Home Depot on Sunday morning but we were really struggling find the correct wood piece to use. And while we bought something, we ended up bringing it back and returning it.
What to do?? When suddenly Patrick remembered a piece of scrap wood we had left over from my table project in the shed. I got some help from a work colleague in cutting it to size (thank you!) and Voila!!
Murphy Bed
Have you ever slept in a Murphy Bed btw? They are proper beds - compared for example to a sofa bed - and very, very comfortable.
