We finally cleaned out the play room and painted the room downstairs for Sir Carson. We started to move his bed down but when it came to the box spring we couldn't get it around the bend on the basement stairs--too tight. After wedging the box spring, smashing our toes and various fingers, getting frustrated because of lack of communicating moving instructions clearly and digging marks in the wall, we decided it wasn't going to work. So then we took the box spring and mattress back upstairs. (Here's a tip: If you ever have to move a bed, move the box spring first! Saves you from having to move the heavy mattress twice. I know this from experience.) So then we thought well maybe we'll have to get Carson a full sized bed and let Kelsi have our old bed. But that would have been a bummer because Andy just refinished some furniture for Kelsi's room that we inherited from Andy's grandparents (a bed and a cute little vanity with a GIANT mirror). We didn't think Carson would really appreciate the vanity or the giant mirror so we didn't want to give him the bed either. So we went to the local Furniture Store--where they are always having an inventory clearance sale--like every day. We explained our problem and the guy said, "Oh, I could get it down." "Oh really!" I thought. Then he said that all we had to do was buy a split queen box spring for a mere $180. Well, we didn't really feel like doing that. Andy did some research and watched a couple on YouTube cut their box spring in half (which was actually quite entertaining). Then Andy said, "If these Yahoo's can do it, we can for sure do it." So he did and it worked Swell! We got the box spring and the mattress downstairs. Carson is still working on the "crib" but I'll post a picture when he gets it finished.

Andy Is A Genius!
Yes, this is exactly what it looks like it is! Andy is sawing this box spring in half. Here's the deal:
