1st Night Cont.

In order to spend the night, it was of course, necessary to have a place to sleep.

We wanted something better than that nasty old floor. So The Fuzz had been working on something more to our taste. It will be admitted that The Fuzz and His Sweetie, might not be considered typical, in that their regular bed is a futon on the floor in the loft. This is actually quite comfy when one is used to it. But we wanted to be able to utilize the space below better, and felt it would be best to get up above all the anticipated foot traffic. So, no longer having a loft, The Fuzz went to work on this "bed" which is really just a raised platform for said futon. There will be room for some of those plastic bin-things below, and as an added bonus, the platform itself contains several storage compartments. The pix to the right shows the work in progress.Here's a look at how things were for our 1st night.

The mattress here is not the futon, but a temporary substitute consisting of a couple smaller foam pads placed side by side. So they do hang over the edges a bit. One must be careful when getting out, not to flip off onto the floor. The Fuzz's Sweetie plans on installing some sort of skirting to conceal the storage bins and keep the dust out.
But we did sleep well. It is kinda exciting to see all this finally beginning to come together.
