Stack them up, Pile them Up, Way up!

 Scott and I were trying to decide how we were going to fit 5 Boys into a 3 bedroom house. After some thinking we found the solution "The Triple Bunk Bed!" We had seen these online and saw how expensive they were. And at first we were crossing that plan out. So I asked Scott one day if he thought he could make a set for the 3 youngest boys. At first he wasn't so sure he had the carpenter skills inside of him. But with a little research we found a set of plans online that we were able to look over and download. And so the project began. Start to finish it took us about a week, but only because we had ordered some hardware that we were waiting to come in the mail.


1st We went to Lowe's and picked up all the wood we would need for our fun new project!2nd we measured and cut the wood into the proper sizes. 3rd we sanded the wood to make it smooth so the little guys wouldn't' get any splinters. 4th we stained the wood, 5th we drilled holes and put it together.

My Carpenter Man~  He did majority of the work while I cared for the boys, I helped him put the bed together man some of those boards were heavy!
