Well the finishing touches on the Vietnamese bedroom continue. These are not disruptive, but purely decorative. The new mattress and box spring were delivered Tuesday afternoon amid a blazing blizzard. All credit goes to the intrepid deliver men who carried the new bedding through the snow and across the ice that paves the street in front of the Luxurious Pimplebutt Estate. These new mattresses are substantially thicker than any bedding I've ever slept upon. The box spring is standard height which makes the bed damn near impossible to climb into. The height of the mattress from the floor is four feet. I understand that in tony, stylish homes, some folks have hired teams of Sherpas to assist them in summiting their mattresses. I am thinking of engineering a funicular railway to ascend the bed.

Don't fret. The mattress store has be called and a new 'low profile' box spring has been ordered.
Get a platform frame........

I can appreciate that. Seems like the modern beds these days put us all at risk of nosebleed just climbing into them. And since I have limited use of my left arm, climbing up onto one is pretty near impossible for me. So I appreciate the imagery you painted for us.

Order some bed rails?
Nah! I have a pencil post bed that serves as frame and platform for slats. What I did not know was how high the bed itself would be before a box spring was installed.

Too late! I have a pencil post bed and there's a rabbet for slats.

Here's the bed as shown on the site that sold me the woodworking plans:

Here it is complete in the Master bedroom (note the height of the mattress):

And the comforter, which is to be replaced, looks like a doily!

A modified T111 canopy ain't my style. I have 68 minutes of free fall time under a nine cell zero P canopy. The most fun you can have wearing pants!

I jumped down 2 steps before........
 
I just brought my daughter home from her violin class and on the drive she described her lunch as "Swiss". I asked her what that meant, and she said "bad". A little confused I asked her why she used Swiss as a term for bad and so she introduced me to her cheesy guide to goodness..

Bad=Swiss
OK=cheddar
Middling good=smoked cheddar
Good=Havarti
Very Good=Smoked Gouda!

So there you have it, from the mouths of babes!

I MUCH prefer the 9 cell as well. I see too many people hurt themselves jumping the seven cells.
