2014/09/09 Tuesday: The Rest of the Deal

Part of the reason the bed I bought was just $25 was that it was missing a needed slat.  I went to Home Depot and Leo in lumber helped me select the appropriate boards and cut them to length.  I bought three just to be safe, even though we only needed on more.  They were $8, so now the bed really costs $33.  We already had the piece that supports the slat and reached the floor.  Nick just needed to drill a hole for it to be attached.  For the first time in our nearly 11 year marriage, we have an actual bed.  Our mattress and box spring have been on a simple metal frame up until now.
