We've only lived here two years, so what could possibly have accumulated under our bed during that time? Surely not much. Our bed squeaks like crazy, so Mike decided to remove the box springs. It would make the bed really low, but that would be far better than the hideous groaning noise it makes every time anyone moves. So we took off the mattress and box springs, and I was shocked at what was under the bed. Stuffed animals, bookmarks, beads, string, tissues, books, airsoft bullets, popcorn, Nerf darts, cat toys, a granola bar (still in it wrapper), a screw, coupons, an envelope, Sarah's drawings, a tire from one of Noah's cars, Legos, hair bows, and lots of dust bunnies!
While I picked all that up and vacuumed the area, my smart husband was taking apart the box springs. What he found was pretty surprising too. There was not a single spring in the "box springs". It's just a frame of wood with a layer of cardboard and a thin piece of material stapled on top. He figured out that it was the cardboard making the horrible noise (who knew cardboard could be so loud?!), so he ripped it all out and put the bed back together, and now it's completely silent. It's like a whole new bed!
