After 4 months of sleeping with just a couple of old school desk tops and sheets of felt between us and the ground, we decided to upgrade and move our old school desk tops and sheets of felt a couple of feet off the ground. Darkhuu, the industrious, found us the old front of a traditional Mongolian bed, and with some newly purchased wood and a few additional school desk tops Brian went about building us a top notch bed. First Brian added a frame to the back of the bed front, as well as a middle and back frame.

He then joined the three frames together from the top using the desk tops.

A few more strategic cuts for the ends of the bed….

and voila-a wonderful sturdy and much warmer bed.

Even Santiago thinks Brian did a great job.
