| The two halves of the bed frame before they
get bolted together. There are six 1/2" bolts holding the
frames together and two 1/2" bolts to hold the headrest on.
Both halves stand on their own with three legs each. The legs
can be removed to make moving the halves easier or to change their
length at a later date.. (2005) |

| One side of the bed frame on its side showing
its construction. The overall framework is 2x4's with 2x6's
around the outer edge so as to hold the mattress in position.
The bedding surface is 3/4" plywood which holds up an air mattress.
The electrical service is evident here as well. The gray
junction box is the main point with normal duplex outlets at each
corner of the assembled bed frame. The white box at the bottom
middle of the picture is actually a dimmer that connects to the
outlet at the bottom right corner of the picture and is used to
control the lamps on the headrest. FWIW, this all started with
me thinking it would be cool to screw a surge suppressor to the
underside to power our clock and lamps. All the wiring and
fixtures are equal to or better than what is used to build homes. (2005) |

| The headrest before being attached. All
the storage is accessed from the sides with the exception of the
small cubby hole in the center top of the headrest. The cubby
hole is designed to hold remotes and not much else. When the
sides of the frame are assembled the headrest slides into place and
is bolted with two 1/2" bolts. (2005) |
