Aliner Makeover and Repairs: DIY Window Blind Update and Installing Bed Lift Kit 9/30/18

Sometimes you gotta fail to learn. Happened twice here. I learned that the adhesive strip provided with the blind would not be enough to hold it and had to used a new product I learned about call JB Weld 1 Minute Set. I also learned that my original thought of using hinged bed pieces (in case I wanted to use the couch mode in the future) would not work with the bed lift kit because it was too much stress on the hinged piece that was not being supported by the bed lift kit piece itself. So I cut out another solid piece of plywood to use as the bed platform this time.

Links to some of the products I have used:

My tools were all battery powered tools, no table saws, just a couple of sawhorses:
