Bed Materials

To build shad­owkatt’s bed, we need:

(10) 2 x 6 x 96
(13) 2 x 4 x 93
(1) 3/4 ply­wood sheet

We bought all the fas­ten­ers as a kit. That was one HEAVY lit­tle box!

I’m annoyed that Lowe’s and Home Depot won’t let me fig­ure out how much the wood will cost through their websites—something about “import/export restric­tions.” I am WAY spoiled by online shop­ping now.

I don’t know much about wood, but pine is NOT hard­wood, right? And a hard­wood will hold up bet­ter? This thing is intend­ed to go to a col­lege dorm with her someday.

She’ll also need an extra-long twin mat­tress, and new aller­gen bar­ri­ers to fit it.
