DC and Philly

We left Miami to go up North. Washington DC and Philadelphia were on the itinerary. What we got was tired legs and blistered feet. Very interesting anyway. Have a look at our pictures.

DC and Philly

Joyce took were good care of us and kitty (Jessi?) didn't mind sharing her place either. We had a great time.

No more furniture!!!

That's it! After the bed I also put up the much needed bookcase. Now the office/guest room is fully equipped.

I will retire to the sofa now and Rosie can sort the books.

Blood, sweat and tears....

...are not on the list of "things you need to build this", but they are a part of the process, when you try to build an Ikea bed.

Conveniently arriving in the famous "flat pack" the delivery guys were huffing and puffing to get the large box to our apartment. We had to have it delivered, because it was too long to fit in our car and I have to say I didn't mind somebody else carrying the almost 70kg (150lb).

Not being an Ikea virgin I thought it couldn't be too difficult to put the bed together and it wasn't, since luckily I have a very smart wife. She spotted all my mistakes at a glance, so I could undo them before it was too late.

The finished bed looks good, is comfortable and fits even me (just). Visiting couples should not worry, the bottom part can be pulled out to make a double twin size. But this is NOT an open invitation to everybody ;-)
