This past weekend Chris got 3 more drawers installed in our bed, yay!!! He probably would have motored and got a few others done, but the rest of the drawer slides are on back order and won’t be coming till May. Doesn’t that feel like a really sick way of the universe rewarding us for finally making progress on the house again? Lame.
But, anyways…drawer progress was exciting, and not just for me
If you need some help with the drill, you know who to call
Cutie.
Before the drawers go in the bed Chris takes each drawer out to the garage with its drawer slides and mounts the slides on a piece of wood and the other slide on the drawer making sure that they match to each other and slide to the correct point. Then he brings both pieces inside, mounts the slide on the piece of wood to the inside of the drawer’s little cubbie, and then slides the door in place
Then you have to make sure everything is awesome 🙂
And tell your baby how the drawer works
And lastly, marvel at their awesomeness again
That’s 3 more working drawers!
We haven’t put the drawer fronts on them yet, and even though I’m really excited to, Chris reasonably said we’d install them when all the drawers were installed just for the sake of being more efficient. Damn logical thinking! It will be SO AWESOME when we have all these drawers installed, all the drawer fronts on, all the drawer pulls on and the awesome headboard done. And I’ve made a little progress on that front too
I’ve still got to figure out how I want to finish the top (tacks all the way over the top or not), but either way, this is looking miiiiiighty fine 🙂
