As many of you may know I have been working on a bed room over haul. I
posted pictures several weeks ago of the Towers and now we have the bed head
board, foot board, and under bed storage in place.
I still need to add the 18 under bed drawers, 8 muntins for the upper
sections of the head and foot boards to match the tower center door muntins
and caps for the bed posts. I'm currently waiting on the Bridge City Tools
Kerf Maker to help with the 192 half lap joint cuts for the 8 muntin
assemblies.
The progress so far

I used to build big, custom waterbeds. I built a bunch of the under bed
drawer systems.
One standard feature I would include, either under the bed or under the
headboard, was a "shotgun holder'. This was a hidden storage compartment
that was easily opened to allow instant access to a shotgun. I also have
built small, lockable compartments behind a movable headboard to hold hand
guns.
For home defense purposes, of course.

Wished I could say that ... of course, it's only been ten days that I
crowbarred my wallet for the FS 75, CT22E, RTS400, RO 125, and various
accessories/accessory kits.
Might take a couple more days to recoup the investment ...
Aye, the slope is indeed slippery with sloap! Thanks for the push! :)

Fortunately ;~) the storage unit was moved back from the dresser about 30"
after attaching the head and foot boards.
Fortunately the mattress and box springs, which were also in the way of
walking, opened up about 30 more inches after we put them back in place.

Towers have been in there about 4 weeks. There is going to be much more
added to the room. New tall dresser and a light bridge between the towers
and an area to hang misc clothing. Not sure which wall is going to picked
for one or two of the additions yet. And there is also the LCD TV that is
going to be hung on the wall.

That all probably came out wrong... ;~) I measured and currently have 33"
on both sides at the narrowest points and 37" between the foot board and
dresser.
That was 41" on both sides and 37" between the foot board and dresser the
precious 28 years.
Going from the Queen to the King we lost between 6 and 7 square "usable"
feet for the whole room.

LOL I spoze we are using that extra 8" on each side.....
I will have 18 drawers under there, inside measurements will be18" wide x
24" deep by 5.75" tall. The bed storage cabinet is what the bed is setting
on now, I just have to fill it up with drawers. LOL
I'll have just under 26 cubic feet of storage under the bed.

If you can get really good siphoning action (a large drop using a hill,

of it, but it is manageable.

Thank you.
I had considered deeper, when I was only going to go with a single row of
drawers. When I learned that our new mattress did not have to have a lower
box springs I decided to go with a double row of drawers and shorten each
row bit.
Not to worry, I have already built my wife a quilt rack that is food for a
dozen or so quilts. She is a quilter.
The towers, the night table replacements could hold 5 or 6 quilts each in
the upper cabinets.

With the CT22E dust collection you get pay back in other ways other than
money in your pocket. Certainly a safer environment, not breathing in all
that dust and bringing all that dust home with you. Clean up is faster and
easier.

Some folks would find lockable compartments suitable for holding whips and
chains to also be useful (don't want the _kids_ to find out that Mommy and
Daddy are kinky). Be sure to include appropriate attachment points for the
chains.

Nothing like a comfy bed.
When ever my wife and I go on a trip we usually stay in a King sized bed.
Going back to a queen is Ok but we were sorta looking for a new bed anyway
and went a head and decided to bite the bullet and go bigger.
Our new one is a S&F with a 5" pillow top, 14" tall total, no box springs.
I have been having problems laying on either of my shoulders and when I laid
on this one in the store my shoulders did not hurt when I laid on my side.
We tried one of those whale blubber Tempuredics and while they are well
liked by many, my shoulder hurt on those too until I stayed still for about
15 seconds and then the pain went away. Any movement world cause the pain
to return for about 15 seconds.
I have a neighbor that has the Tempurpedic on a 4 poster bed and asked me
to help him rotate it... Geeez I think both of had a death grip on the
mattress with both hands and our feet were secure against the bed posts and
then we grunted a lot.

Ditto my HF tools, Ryobi drill and portable tablesaur.
Ditto my real tools, like the Bosch Impactor, the ancient (pre-China,

I'll bet my ROI was -much- shorter than yours.

HF RULES! With the money I saved last year by buying HF tools instead

Try it at 6'4". I use a California King (albeit H20).

"May be" he says, as Larry notes that the dresser drawers can't even
be fully opened in that space...
You fuel! A cockroach would get claustrophobia in there! ;)

You must not have a waveless. Mine, when drained, weighs about 300 pounds.
