At this point, you may be wondering why we cut our bed in half. Practice for future work in divorce law? As a magician? Unfortunately, the truth is not so exciting.
It turns out that our the stairway to our basement isn't tall enough for a queen-size bed spring. Our first thought was to build a new platform for the bed in the basement, which would avoid needing to make it downstairs. Then, while searching for ways to make one, I came across a bunch of articles titled, "How to cut your bed in half." I was intrigued. It turns out, not surprisingly, that we weren't the first people to have had this problem.
The next step was to convince Renee, as we actually had a person lined up from Craig's List to buy our box spring. At first, I think she pictured me grabbing a chainsaw and hacking the bed in half. But, once I showed her my plan...well, you can see the results.
