Handy (Wo)Man! Old Furniture Recycled.

My husband thinks he is the handyman!

Today I fixed our gazebo.
Made a bed out of old furniture that my husband bought in an online auction. He bought a full storage room for $9 and in it were three old beds. Not one was complete. Chris could maybe make them good, but he just keeps talking about it, never gets around to doing it.

So today while Chris was working overtime, I took the old beds and together with my daughters made a bed for my mother who is here on holidays.

The photos show a step by step process, I told my daughter to take photos so that I can post it and prove how I have become a handy(wo)man!

Then for the flooring I used an old kinderbed.

Have a look.

We do not have a mattress yet, I have to buy one, so I made a mattress using an old sofa that was here where the bed is now.

Finally for the test and quality control,

I think I deserve a coffee break now.

My mum said "When I was giving birth to you, I never thought I would give birth to a carpenter"

We all laughed.

Handy(Wo)man.

I think the photos tell the story.

Thank you for reading.
