We bought some materials at Sprainbrook Nursery.  We got some great feedback from Al the owner, and he has pointed us in the right direction of where to buy the right wood to make the bed.  He even made a phone call for us, and assured us the wood will be in next week. I asked him if he thought we should start digging now, and he said of course!

We asked for a discount, and he is giving the project a 15% discount, plus the project will be tax exempt.  We would have gone to the Neighborhood House tomorrow, but everyone is away for the holidays.
