For my last army service, I was ordered to Eschenbach SG near Rapperswil to help in an arsenal. It’s actually a long story, how it came to that. Compared to a regular service, it was very much relaxed. I could go home every night, which is quite nice, especially if you have a young family. So, every morning when I walked from the train station to the arsenal, I passed a carpenter which had a gorgeous beam bed on display. The beams had crack, and looked really old, but perfectly restored. It didn’t have a price tag, so I assumed it was expensive. And I was not in need of a new bed anyway, so I just remembered it, for when I would need one. That was three and a half years ago.<\/p>\n

Our bed recently broke. No, it’s not because I grew so fat. People say, that the mattress and the slatted frame should be replaced after ten years. So it was almost in time. And now I remembered the bed frame from Eschenbach. They did not respond to my eMail, so I had a look around other stores and websites. I found out that these beam beds with cracks are trendy, and that they are mostly made of swamp oak. Finally I found what I was looking for at M\u00c3\u00b6bel Riesen in Brunnen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They didn’t accept BitCoin directly, so I had to convert the funds first. At the time, the excange rate on MtGox was a steady ten percent higher than with other exchanges. This was quite tempting, even though most people suspected liquidity problems behind the long delays since last summer. So I split the risk, and traded half through BitStamp, and the other half through mtgox. BitStamp was quick and reliable as always, while I still wait for the money from MtGox. Meanwhile MtGox filed for bankruptcy, and I might have to write that money off.<\/p>\n

The bed frame arrived earlier than expected, while we had some trouble getting the mattresses and slatted frames in time. So we had to sleep in a funny arrangement for a few days. But now finally, everything is in place. The beams are actually quite heavy, adding up to about 250kg.<\/p>\n

As I work in the development of the PointLine CAD<\/a>, naturally, I was interested in a CAD drawing for the bed frame. The guy from Sprenger M\u00c3\u00b6bel<\/a> was very friendly, and sent me a jpg, telling me there are no CAD files, as he draws everything by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
