Jean’s Cot (by sarah)
Well this week dad was supposed to be working on Jeans 'real' cot but what with the flood and all it hasnt been finished. This has not been helped by the fact that he had lost my original design and there was a few techniqual things we had to sort out - like how to put it together in a safe non wobbly way! Also we had to by a router which still doesnt go deep enough for the female part of the joint therefore progress has slowed dramaticallt as dad finishes the joints of with chisels and Als rubber mallet - this is time consuming and difficult to make neat but dad is doing a fantastic job as always!
Al also saved me and dad from a headache earlier in the week by knowing of a special bolt thing neither me nor dad had come across before - called tee nuts - these are lots of fun!
This cot is going to be Jeans first bed to which is one of the special design features along with sides you can drop so I can get her in and out of the cot without hurting my back! Yes yes it should have been ready about a month ago but what with me being ill and the move Dad hasnt had a chance - still Jean has her travel cot which is fine - I would just like her to be in the nice cot I designed!
