    Some things seem so obvious but seeing someone actually go out and do it gives that little push of courage to take it on yourself and act outside of the box instead of just thinking. Thanks for the inspiration!

      I worry for you all in the Islands of Brittain. I hope your people are coming together in love. I know that sounds cheesy but, in these times, I keep thinking of this quote from a major civil rights leader: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that" (MLK Jr).
      I say these things because I know most people are very angry with government right now, as we are free to be, for our leaders (mostly) have let their people down.
      This is a time in world history where we prove, as a people, that we can govern ourselves. We don't need governments to tell us what boogeymen to be afraid of.
      Guess I just wanted to share my piece.
      Cheers!

      To be honest our government have been better than most. People who can’t work have been given 80% of their salary.until October if they can’t go back to work. We are lucky because my husband can work from home. I have one child at university and that’s been done on line, my other child is hoping to go to university so just waiting for what the results as there are no exams. I’m helping people who are isolating by getting them food.
      Although some places are opening up. We have decided not to bother. We have everything we need at home and we have a nice garden and a needy doggy.
      I know we are luckier than some people. I feel sorry for people who live in flats that must be so hard.
      Take care
      Keep safe and I am thinking about the next thing I will end up repairing.

      The people who are upset with the government are the people who have not declared their earnings and avoided paying taxes.
      My view is if you haven’t paid your taxes then you have been earning more previously by avoiding tax.
      We pay taxes so I have no sympathy for them.
      It’s funny because these are the people who complain about our nhs but avoid paying in to it.
      In my view Britain does look after its people. But I accept not everyone thinks that.

    Thank you so much! I just spent $400.00 on a full size bed frame from Wayfair. The first night my daughter used it, the main beam broke and all the slats fell. I was trying to figure out how to fix it without spending so much money and I think this is exactly what I was looking for! Not to mention that my daughter has the same kind of bed, with a drawer at the foot of the bed. Thanks again!

      No problem! I know my channel is all over the place, but I thought the idea was a good one, and the bed is still up-right and strong today. I did end up going back to add more support beams so now I believe I have 3 on each slat, but it definitely is still holding up. Hope you can fix it with ease. It wasn't difficult. Cheers!👍

    • @seekthetrutht.v.159
      @seekthetrutht.v.159  Před 5 lety

      It couldn't hurt. I'm just afraid that if you just try too bend them back, that it will just happen again. Too prevent going through this a second time, it might just be safer to reinforce it.
      It's an easy solution to an expensive problem. My frame is still standing strong.

      I apologize, just now seeing this. Yes, how about connecting all of your pillars with one long board, left to right, for each row. You would have to trim your pillars accordingly though, but nail the bottom longer boards bottom up, meaning: assemble each three rows first, then turn them right-side up, and fasten them on your rails/frame pieces.
