Getting Closer

After a crazy month of basketball, my dad was able to come up the last weekend in March to finish constructing our guest bed.  We primarily had to cut and assemble the headboard.  We also had to assemble the base and make sure everything was square.
I was quite fond of using the air nailer!!
  Hannah and Matt helped out too:
It takes a lot of extra hands to make sure everything attaches correctly in the final assembly phase.  It's a good thing my dad is meticulous with measuring and squaring everything up. 

And here is is:
It is 100% solid oak.  There's a subtle angle on the headboard to allow for people to sit up and read comfortably.
Mike and I still need to add a few finishing touches like adding the support pieces for the plywood and attaching the headboard to the base. 

Next up: Staining & Final Coating
Yippee!!  My goal is have this done by the time our next guests arrive- April 22nd.  Better get hoppin'!
