Progress on Pumpkin's bed remake is ongoing...slow, but ongoing. We've got the mattresses ready and Joyce has the center cushion that goes between the mattresses made and covered. We're engineering a seat backrest for the cushion where I'll sit/lounge and watch TV or movies. We're on hold right now awaiting some straps I ordered.
Joyce has made a "sock" from a canvas fabric that fits over the forward end of the center cushion. When the straps come in, she'll sew four of them underneath the top section of the sock. These will create a four strap back support that will attach to the ceiling, probably to the rear shade valance. The straps will get a canvas covering which will form a kind of hammock shaped back for my chair.
In the meantime, we hope to make a few shorter trips before August and who knows, we may wind up in Idaho again in June.
