thanks! i need to get it sanded down and give it another coat, then polish the alluminum. i got my bed framed in today, i'm going to put storage in the sub floor, flat tie downs on the sub floor, and just roll my air mattress up when i'm not using it. then use the angled sides as storage space with folding doors, and triangle shelves on the end of the bed, leaving the entry space open. here's where i'm at now.
