Yippeee!!! Hinton House state bed tester is installed!




The steel bracket installed and bolted to a joist and RSJ in the ceiling void for the suspension hook, being fitted in this picture.




The suspension hook.




The tester about to be raised to height on Genie lifts.




On its way up.




Connected to the ceiling with the "angel rods".




The tester is supported also by a substantial wall bracket.




The stunning damask and ribbon within the tester.




A big thank you to Tim Martin of Context Engineering for the manufacture of the suspension metalwork and curtain rail and help with the installation.




The bed frame has been assembled under the tester. Decisions need to be made about the next stages of the project, such as specifics as the height of the headboard. I think we had better get on with fitting a mattress and support so that Adrian here can have a proper kip. Helping to assemble the frame must have left him a bit cream crackered.
