Mac, how do I know you are aware that Arch can sometimes be absent minded? Because you wrote, "You left our screw eyes for the ropes and chains, Arch." And, of course, the lifting system won't work without them.

Mac, I may be a bit absent minded, but I'm even more naive. I'm sure you meant the ropes and chains were for lifting the bed. :)

Leo, The standards just hit 'rock bottom'.

Turn to Safety, Arch Fortiter

to complete the thought - lonnie donnegan is gone so you will have to sing the song yourself

BTW, the bed is for my 15 year old son; the ropes and chains will be needed for lifting HIM out of bed in time for school. C'mon. I'm sure you guys are capable of more extreme suggestions that these. :)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I just got through with a thread on rec.crafts.metalworking having to do with a dump bed on a trailer. I didn't think the topic would appear here as well.

BTW, I guess an apology is in order--I was thinking the ropes and stuff would be used for hoisting a mirror to the ceiling over the bed. Or maybe you have a very precocious 15-year old.

Alarm clock with low amp wires in the mattress??

Having been there, and repeating it with a month long visit from a stepson that we call the "vampire", the only thing that ever worked for me were threats of no "fill-in-the-blanks" for the rest of his life unless he dragged his butt up..

There were, however, several times that it was probably lucky that I didn't have a pail of water handy..
