Well with the increase in shelling here one needs to get creative in
establishing a fortified sleeping area. Here is one of the latest that
we have come up with, the coffin bed. You build up a wall several blocks thick, (if you have extra blocks), close around your sleeping area than you put several reinforce supports across the top with a board over where you lie down and than pile up sand bags on top of it. Well if the rocket or mortar comes in through the hooch it has to land right next to you, within a few inches to give you "the full effect". It gives a whole new meaning to "you can sleep when you are dead".

It is not like at the house with the King-size bed, watching TV with the
Phone and remote next to you! Once you are in for the night you better be prepared to sleep all night, "popping up" or "jumping up" in the middle of the night is not a good idea! It could be very painful.

Now you better get "Crash" out in the garage and have him build himself one of these "beds". When he gets over here he will have to do it for himself so it would be good to already have the experience of building one!
