but its also exempt from flow epa restrictions so it puts out water really fast.
So no aerator needed?
it has one to keep the flow nice but it's not a restriction orifice.
Like filling the dog water pitcher is a 3 second thing. In the sink it's like 20.

So, the little ~8' x 9' room we were going to put the nursery in is now going to be the guest/craft/play room because that was the long term plan anyway and I'll have some time on my hands over christmas.
The plan to make all that fit in an 8x9 space is... a murphy bed. This is some tiny house shit.
Incorporate a fold out craft table with shaker style trim but similar in concept to these:
using this guys hack to build the swivel without the $$ hardware kit. Will modify swivel seats with welder for constructability.
So I'll double amount of sheet "E" to incorporate the fold out table. Table legs will be shaker style trim that is added and folds out. trim also hides edge gap for bed legs.
So really the two things I still need to figure out in my head is a good way to secure both the bed & the table in the "up" position in a way that looks nice and not hacky. I think the trim legs will be fine with magnets. The table itself could be pinned....maybe put a hook on it? I could do this with the bed too....hmmmm.....
so there be my thoughts for now.

Do it. Are there any online resources that can give you off the shelf plans? I'm thinking something like Bar Plan but for beds. I bought a plan from them when I built the 8' bar in the AZ house. Made things a lot easier, and the plans were simple enough to allow customization.
What, if anything, makes you hesitant to dive into it?
Yea the first link has a good design for a queen size and a cut list even. I don't think I need to buy plans persay, the yout00b resources and free stuff online seems adequate. More so since I plan on customizing the design a bit.
I'm about 90% sure I'll be doing this over christmas.

Yaaassss. I am hoping that I can do my garage workbench project at the same time.

Also, put that bitch on some nice lockable wheels. I got these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W5 ... UTF8&psc=1
there were a little less when i purchased, but the take home message is to not put cheap wheels on your bench.
Anyway, that's why I'm doing the murphy bed project myself.....entry level prices are 1200 bucks.
I can clearly do this for a quarter of that, easy. Garage workbench was equal cost and it take up a yuge chunk of my time.

My bench might have cost $50 and was built in a single evening 4 years ago.

I thought about building a bench too but buying is way cheaper when you bill your time to the project....
I hear ya. I'm just really itching to build something once the tools are in the same space as me again. Like, more interested than turning wrenches on the vehicles even. Since it's a purely functional garage piece it doesn't have to be perfect either, so a great way to revive those skills. I think I linked it elsewhere, but I plan to follow this.
That kit you linked looks pretty good though. I need to do some measuring to decide on what size bench I want to put together.

sure, but i'm sure it was basic spec. If cheap is all you need Its fine. I was going for something really nice to build. I priced out like 130 in materials as a minimum.

So, I undertook this DIY murphy bed project. Murphy beds are fucking expensive. The kits Are even expensive.
I'm into this for about 300 total. That includes buying myself about 50 bucks worth of tools. I was originally going to incorporate a table but abandoned that when the thing got heavy.
I was also going to forgo a lifting assist.....but it got really heavy.
It says 4 sheets of 3/4 ply but i did it with 3
I also used 3/8 ply vs 1/2 for the bed support because I had it already.
I had HD make the long rips instore
Trim is not included in the cutlist but IIRC I used 6 1x3's and 2 1x2's i had to rip to 3/4 square true dims.
The rotating mechanism is 2 $5 boat swivel seats. I did have to modify the header length to get the spacing correct.
Trim styled after the house cabinets, & painted to match cabinets in the house.
Not a lot of pics of early progress, but here it is from 'start' to finish
Overall it came out really good. I wish I'd have gotten/found the cabinet grade ply before it was too late, but oh well. It still looks pretty nice.

Looks good breh! We've been wanting to put a murphy bed in the spare bedroom but just haven't gotten to it yet. I looked into those kits a while back and yeah, pricey.
I'm about to start working on the framework for our custom 2X Queen bed setup. So while I've got wood stuff all around my garage I may mock up and design the murphy bed a little bit to see if I can get some of the lumber now and then finish designing/cutting later.

I finally installed a microwave this weekend. 1100 watts of ball nuking POWA
The wife was not pleased, but in the end welcomed the necessary pantry cleanout.
