The bed swing

SO my sweetheart of a husband built me a bed 

swing for my back patio. He did it in one weekend. 

Here are some pictures of the process,




He's wonderfully OCD and made sure it could hold a LOT of weight. 
He used gorilla wood glue and screws, lots and lots of screws.
                                               


                              I spent about an hour on the staining, mostly to protect the wood

Drilling holes for the rope


                                        He reinforced the spots where he put the eye hooks



                                          Measuring the rope and allowing for a little stretch

He used a simple knot to hold it



WOW! So cool!




Leveled perfectly


                                I have a nice thick memory foam mattress that I cut to size 
                                        and used the remaining to make a pillow
                          put a feather bed on top of that, some sheets and blankets and bam! 



                               I used a large Hula Hoop and some tule to make a mosquito net.

Wrapped a string of lights around it and I'm ready for a nap


                                                I never want to go in the house again




TAADAAA! 
until next time...
