Bed

BEFORE

The bed as I purchased it.  The wood is not bad overall, 
need to replace 8 boards, the remaining outside boards 
I will sand down and finish.















Boards out, did some cleaning and sprayed it down with WD40





Now for a little Rustoleum paint




AFTER

NEW OAK BOARDS
I DECIDED TO REPLACE ALL OF THE BOARDS!










I LAID THE PLANKS, BUT FOUND THEY DID NOT LINE UP WELL AS THE GROOVES DID NOT ALLOW ME TO ADJUST THE SPACING. 



I REMOVED THE PLANKS AND DECIDED TO SAND OUT THE GROOVE ALTOGETHER, MAKING A FLAT LOWERED LIP,  GIVING ME THE ABILITY TO ADJUST/SLIDE THE PLANKS IN EITHER DIRECTION TO CORRECT SPACING, IT WORKED OUT WELL AS YOU CAN SEE BELOW.
