That stuff makes me big time jealous of people that can do that with no heights issues.
The only thing I can say, is not being a fan of heights has kept me alive atleast...haha...but def has hindered some
cool activities.
Guess I'll start an off-topic thread?

So Anna is leaving for college on the 16th, it was just sprung on me this past Friday night "dad, I need you to build a loft to get my mattress off the floor in my dorm room so I'll have more storage space!"............what?
So, $150.00 later. "But dad, it needs to be either painted or stained!" Here ya go, have at it kid!

How high does the bed need to be off the ground? Dayum...did you build a ladder to get on the bed?

I hate even getting on a ladder to retrieve the wiffle balls my wife hits in the gutters when my 4 YO son "pitches" to her..
Stop popping it up straight back...she needs big time work on her swing!!
The top of the plywood is exactly 48" off the floor, her mattress (which I haven't seen) could be anywhere from 8" to 12" thick? So she could be 5 feet off the floor.How high does the bed need to be off the ground? Dayum...did you build a ladder to get on the bed?
She showed me several pictures from her teammates and the lofts that their dad's built. So then I asked about a safety rail, which none of the pics I saw had one.......she's like "no, I don't need one, no one else has one!" So you're saying you're too cool to have one?
All of these girls are 6' tall, you're 5' tall, for these girls it would be like falling off of a coffee table, for you it'd be like falling off a house! She didn't find my hilarious comment all that funny!

That's a quality loft for her mattress. I hope she lives on the 1st floor, it's going to be heavy.
She's on the second floor! But I built it so it can be unbolted and taken apart! It's very stout!

Unbolted and take apart, genius! Might be fun to build a safety rail when she isn't looking, paint it bright orange , and let her discover it before you head out to move her in. Kind of wasteful, but funny just the same.

Ladders are ok with me...but I will always have the intention to do something. Like we did the garage roof at the old house, I was up on
it fast and all ready...then after getting on it...yeah...not so much
