@Ken’s’ Deputy have you ever considered compiling a book or have you ? As you are quite descriptive the way you put things and the way it’s laid out and put across says to me you might have some

I think it's about time to face the fact that my game is up. I sleep on a futon. That itself is laid on pallets. Net result is that I'm laying nine inches off the floor. Just for fun; Any of

Dry cnut ?

Fuuck me Ditchshitter you need a damp course and a lick of paint in there pal ?

Get some 2"x2" timber and raise the bed. Make a frame with seating underneath, like a bunk bed. Screw it to the wall (after you've scraped, sealed and painted both sides. In and out) jobs a good 'un ;)

Even better idea, drill two holes and get a hammock hung up. 

Just don't try having sex in one, stood up. ?

Naah. Be a terrible world of dog hair and spiders webs, Sid. Fukking bad enough as it is, just one pallet deep. I have to occasionally lift the futon. Get the hoover in there. And Fill the fukking thing!

Blocks would be better all round. More air circulation. Easier to get off. And I could sweep out beneath it.

Besides; I build a wooden box, to contain / cover my futon and its pallets. Stop the dogs getting on it in day time. I could support that on the blocks, along with the current pallets, and I'd just have an elevated futon.

Bung more pallets under the ones already there? I'd look like something out of San Francisco!

  Here it is, as is, see? Take the dog beds off. Raise the lid ~ which hooks to the wall. Drop the side bit, so my leg doesn't stick out and rest on the edge of a plank (!) And, the futon's in there. Good as gold.

It just needs to be higher now. And, with blocks? When I get Really seriously fukked? I can just add more. Then roll off and die! ?

Ffs Ken, seriously mate, if you're not getting any younger, you're not doing yourself any favours by sleeping like that.

 

You can buy all sorts of beds nowadays - proper ones, as firm as you like, where you can get out of bed at an easier height.

....... My best advice is to sort that room out and give yourself somewhere to rest up properly at the end of the day.

 

That wall would worry me if I found it in a relatives bedroom - I'd have to sort it same day so that I knew they weren't breathing in anything dodgy.

In all fairness,and without wanting to patronise the ol boy....but nobody in the free and developed world should have to live like that surely if times are that hard just f**k your internet connection off and paint your wall/buy a bed etc.
