So Jen's had this futon couch for almost 15 years, and over the last few months (exacerbated, no doubt, by almost-a-teen angst-flopping) it has been getting pretty creaky. Today was the day to fix it:
 |
| Not good. |
The supports, they are missing.
 |
| "Wait. What?" We managed to move the cushion without moving the cat. |
|
Cushion moved to table, and cat content, off to the lumber yard I betook meself.
 |
| Rule is: Measure Twice, Cut Once |
Got the needed dimensional lumber, made some cuts....
 |
| A bit of analog cipherin' to figger spacing... |
Pondered some....
 |
| Some screws, and it's ready for cushion! |
Assembled some....
 |
| Ta Da! |
A usable couch, and the first part of building a Brand New Couch is done. For what ever time we decide we want a Brand New Couch.

Um...Got onions? :)
Once, years ago, when Carol and I were visiting, I put a one-gallon paint can under the middle of the front where a support was needed. It served quite well, as I recall. (Your support is niftier.) Nice job all around!
If you ever get up Massachusetts way, I have a couch too! :)
Your finished product looks beautiful.
