I'd like to get a quote on mattresses locally and I can't seem to figure out what exactly the dimensions of the mattress should be to allow for "half-of-queen-size" sheets. Your help would be so appreciated!<BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22625792.post-11979530637074972942007-02-05T10:58:00.000-08:002007-02-05T10:58:00.000-08:00What a wonderful idea!

We have 7 children so far, and right now only the babies share a room, although the baby hasn't technically left our room, yet. We had to squish 6 kids in a 3bd rancher, and that was fun. <br />I found you on The Mom Blogs.Qtpies7https://www.blogger.com/profile/04612364762900912663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22625792.post-2659653477459506582007-01-25T16:17:00.000-08:002007-01-25T16:17:00.000-08:00Meg,

Have to think back to the old house for many of them. Can I think that far back?

Of course, those with more tools and experience can do fancier things, but that isn't necessary. <br /><br />Maybe we could make a step by step video of making one too! Wouldn't that be cool?<br /><br />I think I have my homework cut out for me. Guess I'll have to find out something about copyright stuff. =)<br /><br />~jerriMom of thirteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537459011257295414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22625792.post-76258717705590581622007-01-25T13:29:00.000-08:002007-01-25T13:29:00.000-08:00I think that I would be interested in plans if the...I think that I would be interested in plans if they were reasonably priced (so many are not!). We aren't very experienced with wood<br />working, is this something that someone with basic tools could build? (That would be my husband's first question...he pretty much rules out everything that Bob Villa builds, LOL!)<br /><br />Thank you so much!<br /><br />TracyLines From The Vinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527529005454572337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22625792.post-25136200088721481842007-01-25T09:03:00.000-08:002007-01-25T09:03:00.000-08:00Melanie,

When our twins were born we put a full size crib in our, very small, walk in closet. They slept in there, together, for about 4-5 months. After that they were waking each other up, touching each other, kicking each other, etc. and we had to move them into separate beds. Our poor closet, we could barely take one step into it and could barely reach our clothes!<br /><br />Are you looking for more detailed list of size of wood, number of nuts and bolts, etc? I think I can get a general list from my hubby. I think if you want actual "plans", step by step, to follow, that would take him some time and he would probably sell the plans for a small price. We have talked about making these and selling them, but most folks want to save money by making their own , or the shipping cost is too much. But, buying hubby's plans would be inexpensive. If this is something you, or others would be interested in, leave a comment here and I'll ask him about it. =)<br /><br />blessings,<br />jerriMom of thirteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537459011257295414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22625792.post-56318088939856940612007-01-25T08:46:00.000-08:002007-01-25T08:46:00.000-08:00Thank you for this post...

Now, we are in a larger home (moved 10/05) with 14 of us and there we still have to be careful about bedroom space. Even though we only added one more person, the older children keep getting taller and taller and so there are not any easy fixes for their rooms! lol!<br /><br />I have several other tips and tricks I learned for making the most of bedroom space. I'm kind of waiting to see if this topic is a popular one or not. If it is , and please everyone, let me know, I will post more about it.<br /><br />~jerriMom of thirteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537459011257295414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22625792.post-89394337104430256092007-01-24T13:49:00.000-08:002007-01-24T13:49:00.000-08:00Thank you for posting this.
