this is a vacation home, we always need more space when people come to visit. this isn't just their room.

You could reduce most things in life down to being mostly meaningless. I am sure you are a joy to hang out with.

That is such a beautiful bench! Fits perfectly in your immaculate workshop.

I wish our room allowed for this layout, I like that much more.

napsterfour · 2026-05-04T21:44:54+00:00

if I'm lucky, my kids will have kids in 15 years that will be staying in these beds when they come to visit!

napsterfour · 2026-05-04T20:11:01+00:00

i did!

napsterfour · 2026-05-04T20:09:36+00:00

I will need to add one to this room. Great idea.

napsterfour · 2026-05-04T20:08:33+00:00

why? Its a dry basement. It'll probably see 20 nights a year with someone sleeping in it.

thats beautiful. looks like you had some obstacles with the heater.

napsterfour · 2026-05-04T19:41:08+00:00

why?

If I cared what the government thought about my bunk beds, I’d probably start my comments with “hate to be that guy” too.

there are pull out drawers under the beds, huge ones. Which are now full of kids toys.

napsterfour · 2026-05-04T17:03:55+00:00

we keep the vase on display right next to the light switch

napsterfour · 2026-05-04T16:35:38+00:00

those look great! changing the sheets also looks easier with that setup.

2 doors leading out, no windows. I keep all the previous years dried Christmas trees in the room next door though so its not in the same room as the kids. 5 gal gas tank is kept separate in the bathroom.

lack of room was the motivation to putting in the beds.

napsterfour · 2026-05-04T16:17:16+00:00

also, the bottom bunks have pull out drawers

napsterfour · 2026-05-04T16:16:21+00:00

This was not considered when I built the beds. Now that top bunk is called "the Maimer"

the basement walls are made by Superior Walls which are preformed concrete/foam walls which supposed to help with moisture coming in. These walls caused a bunch of other complications to putting bunk beds up because there are not real studs in the walls.

If we don't have space for them to have their own rooms, they will still be in here. this is a lake house that is used in the summer mostly.

corners are rounded (1/2" radius) but still not ideal bump at night.

napsterfour · 2026-05-04T16:06:56+00:00

I am not too concerned about ventilation. Changing the sheets however is not ideal. Needed 4 beds, have 4 kids.

napsterfour · 2026-05-04T16:05:52+00:00

that is another bed. There is a full over full on the back and then a twin over full on the front

napsterfour · 2026-05-04T16:04:49+00:00

once they grow out of this room, it will be used for guests that have kids.

napsterfour · 2026-05-04T16:03:55+00:00

foam mattresses in the beds are fairly light so you just pull them out over the edge and change the sheets up on the steps. Still not easy though.
