On Thursday, June 12th, two brothers, Daniel and Sam, arrived to install our Murphy Bed. They work for More Space Place, the company that manufactures and installs space-saving furnishings. These two guys were outstanding and went to work immediately.
First, they unloaded the components of the project on the deck of our handy carport. This covered area has already become a much appreciated part of our new home. It can be raining profusely and still be high and dry under the carport.
Then they started to carefully haul all of the parts of the unit into the study/guest room. Here is Daniel sizing up the front panels that form the doors for the cabinitery.
Sam is seen in this shot carefully checking the level during the installation. The entire unit is anchored to the wall at the bottom and the top.
This is the finished product with the doors closed and the book shelves loaded with various books and other items.
The final product is completed and shown below in the "bed down" position. The mattress is very comfortable and the balancing action of the appartus make it easy to lower and raise. It even has space for a permanent piece of art to hang over the headboard.
Our son Chad came a few days later for a visit and he gave the bed a thumbs up. He spent two restful nights on the mattress and proclaimed it to be the most comfortable bed he had ever slept on. Maybe he was slightly biased after spending two weeks in Haiti before arriving at our place, but he sure did look restful curled up in the blankets.
