Recently bought a new home. Our old home really wasn't set up to have 2 bedrooms for the kids, so my son has been sleeping in his crib modified to a toddler bed in the formal dinning room converted nursery since he was born. I promised him a "big boy" bed when we moved. I asked him what kind of bed he wanted with a prompt "digger" bed. The boy is infatuated with heavy machinery and anything that digs. So, after some digging (pun intended) on the net I found some plans to a bed I liked and thought easy enough to build. Didn't have the right extension to attach the wheels to the bed last night which didn't make him none too happy, but hopefully it will be completely assembled tonight. Still have some touch up painting that will need to be done. Plans:   This thing is over built, but I'm sure it will be structurally tested before he out grows it.  Before paint:  Will look like this when complete:

Great job. That came out nice!!!
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

He turned 4 in April That looks awesome! How much for a King Size? I don't imagine it would be much more than this Full Size, but the charge for labor to build might be obscene.  You should bring him by my shop in garland and he can play on all kinds of tractors. I might take you up on that. He'd love it!
