  If someone knows about how to work with wood i think that person can somehow construct it in the US, too. or in Europe, for all that matters… or anywhere very convenient for guests, but not comfy enough for me.

  Jonathan: when I move, I’m going to get lots of beanbags but for guests, this principle is very cool. one that involves a bed would be even better
