My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    :) actually the ledge on the bottom bunk is wide enough to comfortably stand on to pull the duvet covers up to look nice. when i change the sheets i just climb the stairs and sit on the mattress to pull it off. when i put it back on i do the same thing. we made the beds with a decent space around the mattresses so they're not wedged in there and can lift with ease. i don't use a flat sheet either. :)

      With a lot of difficulty I would imagine... but I love the design. It's brilliant!

      Ok, that makes some sense. Thanks for the explanation. I'm in my 60s and not too likely to be able to do the climbing, but was looking for bunks as an idea for (eventual) grandkids. It does look classy, and great for younger homemakers...:-)

      Was this design difficult/costly to pursue? I love creative kid bedrooms :)

      it actually looks very much like our racks that we had in the Navy on my ship. I love it and would like it in my rec room area for kids having sleepovers. Ironically, it's very comforting and cozy to me. :) They were a breeze to make too.

      I like the stairs vs a ladder to the upper bunks. Much easier to climb.
