There is a wrinkle when doing the hole in roof method and that is the top bunk is now on top of the curved <SPAN class=misspelled>tintop</SPAN> roof. This reduces the bed to pop top ceiling distance and the fold up part of upper bunk will not clear. So you have to come up with another solution - the <SPAN class=misspelled>mosaik</SPAN> kit (<SPAN class=misspelled>westy</SPAN> built kit) solves this with a hinged, two part folding out part of bed.<BR></DIV></div>
