Here's the actual bed I'm working on. Should be finished tomorrow after I have painted it with 2 coats of clear lack.

The top bed is for my son Oliver, and below is our double bed.

I too used Pbrush for this hehehe

oh i thought it was a simple bed. how old is he?

GeoTrail · Post by **GeoTrail** » Thu Jul 21, 2005 9:33 pm

He will be 2 years old on saturday. He's quite big though, so his old crib is too small already. He was 52 cm long and weight 5280 grams when he was born. And he has my huge feet hehehe.

His bed, the one at the top, is place with the long side along one wall in the bed room, our double bed is place with the head under his bed so our feet is facing away from his bed, did I explain that properly? hehehe

I'm also planning on building some simple shelfs along the wall right under his bed where we can put books and things like that in.

hehe better keep your feets away!
damn. 2 years old and feets as beeg as his fathers already???

simple shelfs are nice too. you know those standing around the wall in rooms. preferably white. low shelfs so he can reach them! but be sure that he can have his own room in some years too.

He he he no, I didn't mean his feet are as big as mine, I'm a 12 1/2 US size hehehe, or 46-47 in EU size. He now uses size 24 which is very big for a two year old.

He he he has has already managed to destroy one of my old monitors I had on the floor, my own fault I know. He just loves buttons hehehe. Hopefully we'll get a bigger place, a place with 2 or 3 bed rooms soon. Getting abit tired of this little place, only has one bed room, but the living room is pretty big, but we don't have a garage. And NO, I don't plan on building a garage hehehehe

17? wow, I would have guessed you were abit older than that hehehe. shows how wrong I can be hehe. I'm 29 myself.

No it's not an apartment, it's a house with 2 floors, we live on the first floor. Think it's about 55 m2 if I remember right.

GeoTrail · Post by **GeoTrail** » Fri Jul 22, 2005 12:04 pm

Yeah it's pretty good.
But isn't there a snap-to-edge feature like in Autocad?
