Cold Beds

Here is one of the first projects that I would like to work on found this on a blog and I dont remember who's and I cant find the page again.. But here are the directions for it as well.


 Want to build your own? All you need to do is gather:
  • Old wood frame windows
  • Salvage wood 1 x 12. We used cedar, but any scrap wood would do.
  • Nails or screws
  • 2 metal hinges for  each frame
  • Hammer or screwdriver
  • Saw

        The bases were made out of some salvage cedar 1" x 12" that we had. He measured the windows and the built the boxes to those dimensions. The backs were the full 1" x 12", the sides cut on an angle so that one end was 12" and tapered down to 10", and the fronts were cut down to 1" x 10". The 2" slope from front to back makes it easier for the rain to run off.
