Building Cameron a Bed

Bret is building a bed frame for a twin bed for Camerons new room. We figured it would save some money since we already have a twin mattress. I am very lucky to have such a handy husband. We bought all the wood Friday night and Saturday afternoon he went to work on it. Dont be fooled by the pictures, I did some work too, sanding and such. Bret worked really hard and busted out something discernable as a bed in a matter of hours. I know right now Cameron wont understand, but one day he will appreciate the work Bret put into building this for him.
Drilling the holes for the pegs...
Its starting to look like a bed now... Putting together the end peices...
Ta-Da! It looks like a bed. We still have a bit more work to do, right now the top peices are holding it all together so the glue can dry. Then we need to stain it and put in the crossboards for under the mattress. But hopefully by next weekend it will be ready to sleep in!
