Handyman Father, Part 2

When our youngest daughter moved out on her own she decided that she wanted her dad to build her a platform bed. She discussed it with him and they got the plans all worked out. He proceeded to build the bed as they had planned. The wood was to be painted black – not flat black, not glossy black, but in between. Handyman dad had to mix a couple of paints to get the desired effect. He painted the bed and the paint bubbled. He sanded down the problem area and painted again. The paint bubbled again. I’m not sure how many times he sanded and painted, but he finally got it just right. The big day came to deliver the bed to our daughter’s apartment. He got some help and they got the bed to the apartment, in the front door and oh, no, it wouldn’t fit up the stairs!! He had to bring the bed home and slice it down the middle so it could be taken up the stairs in 2 separate pieces. After splitting it, he had to go back and paint it again. The bed was finally delivered and our daughter has been happy with it. It may not always be easy, but he always gets the job done!
