Back on track today, I went to the lumber yard to get some 1x10s for the shelves that will be at the foot of the bed (I had bought 1x6s originally, but we decided that deeper shelves would be better). I cut and sanded the shelves, then began the assembly:
 |
| shelves laid out, ready to begin bolting |
|
The semi-tedious part, tightening 24 4" lag bolts*, begins:
 |
| 12 down 12 to go |
 |
| them bolts is tight | | |
Then the
really tedious part, tightening 24
6" lag bolts:
 |
| thassa lotta bolt |
But I did have help, feline:
 |
| "I getchu a bolt" |
and torque:
 |
| kitteh say "puuush" |
 |
| a wrenching experience | | |
|
Finally, it were done:
 |
| This footshelf unit is 9 Jambas high |
Tomorrow, the headboard and, hopefully, some assembly in the bedroom!
