Got my Bed Finished!!

I spent last weekend working fevorishly to get ahead of the cold weather and rain that was on the way. A friend of mine gave me the bed strips, so I had to put them to use right away. The bed had previously contained two sheets of rotten plywood with the original rotten bed flooring beneath. I wish I had taken some "before" photo's.

Carrying a grease gun, that's a WORK truck! Good for you! It might look better to countersink the bolts on the wood, but it's a natural catch-basin for rain, etc. If you are going to use it, it's fine the way it is.

He only wanted to watch and "critique", instead of holding a bolt while I put the nut on from the bottom of the truck. Sorry, didn't have time for that stuff.
Thanks for the compliments!

Believe it or not, YES! Every weekend, too, not during the work week. Not a whole lot but annoying for sure...

Before photos aaren't necessarry. They only serve to remind me of what looked like before I tore them down. Good job on the bed,
