Made our own Metal Bed

 We decided it was time to replace our old bed. After looking around for over a year to find 1 we liked and that was affordable we came up empty handed. Until my man decided he could build 1 out of some of his scrap metal if he had enough tubing to start with. And after checking all his metal stock. He started making us a platform bed. To go with the new memory-foam mattress he ordered a few months back.

The start of the bed

Bed done

 It took a little longer to finish it because we lost power for 4 days the weekend he was to work on it

All done, it took the 2 of us to get it into the house and set into place in front of our old headboard.

And now the new mattress set into place to fill out were it was vacuum sealed.

Nice white sheets for a cool nights sleep.

  I am so loving our new bed that only cost us the scrap metal, time and the new mattress. And 2.00 for the black spray paint to paint the frame.

Being sick, sliding glass door & green beans.

I have been sick with what ever bug is going around here lately. But Monday we had a friend Wayne who could help us put in the new sliding glass door we got on clearance sale the 4th of July at Lowes & I am loving the new door. It was a beautiful day to put it in & we couldn't have ask for a better day.  My chickens behaved themselves and no one tried to come in while we were working.   Still got to trim out the inside & put up some kind of  blind but it will be alright until then.At less now there is no more wind & cold coming threw the door now like our old one. And the fall garden of green beans need picking. So I also starting on them Monday with over 8 gallons of beans picked to start with & then again yesterday I picked another 8 to10 gallons. So I have been very busy canned & dried beans.  I have been fighting this cold and also taking care of what has to be done. Later on this winter it will all pay off .

This is Wayne getting the opening all ready for the new door.

The new door in.
