The new-to-us bunk bed

Here's an in-progress photo of the kids' new bunk bed. They are both absolutely delighted with it after weeks of anticipation. ("Can we go to the bunk bed store now? Now? Now?")

It took:

• Craigslist and a little negotiating
  
• Many helpers (thanks, Chris, Tim, Eudora and Jimmy!)
• A pickup truck and a minivan
• A little spackle, sandpaper, and paint
  
• A few bumps and scrapes
  
• Much head scratching ("how are we going to get this thing through the door?")
• A few Allen wrenches
• A lot of grunting

But we're very pleased with the result.

Hint: for moving big heavy awkward pieces of furniture, end-over-end somersaults work well.
