For whatever reason, the driveway had a thick handrail built up the middle of it. This rendered it useless as a driveway, but it yielded some good material for other projects.

It was made of 4x4 and 6x2. So far it's provided support to the ceiling/bathroom floor, replaced old joists and now has made us a bed. Along with the half price mattress Steff scored at Ikea, we can now sleep in comfort rather than on the air mattress we've been enduring to date.

If Rooney could just stop scratching in the night and thus beating on the side of his crate, I will be well rested.

The rail - it's not that clear, but you can see it down the right hand side there.

Now:

Floor joists

New bed! It's massive, but it sure is comfortable.
