It's not that I'm stuck on the wood floor, it's just a false floor since he cut the steel one to sink over the frame to drop the bed. What i think I'm gonna do is get another floor and just raise the whole floor and wheel tubs up towards the bed rails. It'd look a lot cleaner imo and i won't have to worry about the wood rotting away. I do like some wood floors and I think i'll just do it on my stepside. Do you have any pics Coop?
