Got the bed finished and moved it in place. Had a little final fitting of the slats and center support. Got my wife to help me go ahead and put the mattress in place for a quick test fit. Houston we have a problem!
It seems we misjudged just how much extra space we needed around the mattress for the sheets and comforters. In other words the dang bed is just too big! While shortening the rails is simple and not a big surprise. The headboard and foot board is to stinking wide too. That is not going to be so easy to fix but it can be fixed.
Yes, I am pretty darn disgusted about now. What aggravates me most is the bed is the exact size we decided on.
