Demo time.

Roommate Steve moved out a few weeks ago, so I’ve been working on the upstairs. We’ve put a full size bed up there but had been unable to get the box springs that go with the mattress up the stairs. It’s a winding staircase. I had convinced myself through trial and error that if I just modified the outset of the ceiling above the door jam that I would be able to squeeze it up.

Well… I didn’t get the clearance that I’d thought I get, but on the bright side I removed the unsightly sheet rock. The stairwell was already on my honey-do list to repaint. Now, I get to do a little drywall.

Anyone looking for a box spring for a full size mattress? I can make a great deal.

    One positive outcome; you’ve exposed the wires that needing replacing.

    Wood panels rule.

    Shoo, they make two piece box springs for situations just like this. I would call around to some of the furniture store. From what I remember they were not that expensive.
