it's finished... almost

at christmas, my dad and bryan began a project of making grace and raegan some bunk beds. my dad brought all the wood and materials, as well as the tools needed to get some bunk beds made.


they worked so hard to get the beds done and by the time their trip was over the beds were pretty much ready to be put together. bryan only had to do a few more things to get them ready to assemble. so, bryan has been working in his spare time to finish and about a month ago he got everything done. all we need to do was put a polyurethane varnish on the beds... the catch? for the varnish to set you need ideal weather... it had to be above 60 degrees and no wind. hmmm.... as most people in the lawton area know, in the winter when the weather gets above 60 degrees we also have high winds (20 - 30 mph) and fire danger. it is a rare day when the weather is warm and it's not windy. so we waited through a month of warm and windy days here and there. then, last tuesday, finally, it was in the 70s and no wind. luckily, bryan had been home sick that day (we were passing around the rota virus in our family) and i told him we had to get the beds done. and we did! yay!


so, when i say they are almost finished... we are still waiting for the stairs to be made (my dad is working on them in missouri) and the rails for the top bunk. so, grace and raegan are sleeping on the bottom bunk together. and all i can say is... they love them. around 7 at night grace will start to say that she wants to go to bed just so she can sleep in her new bed. thanks dad and bryan!
