Pictures first then words will follow:

Here is how a Murphy Bed Starts: 
We then Process it into this:
Then we cut it down to size, preferably with a set of plans. For my bed I used the create-a-bed.com's horizontal standard kit. I will put a link at the bottom.
And you get a pile of cut to size timber...
And then you get more...
And now for assembly, essentially this breaks down into several stages. Framing, Bed Pan portion, sideboards, header board(top section) and head board(piece next to you.)

Yes, that's right, no money down, some time and perhaps some studying and you get to add another badge to your email signature and Linkedin. Yes, it is true sometimes IRL we get to level up...:)  So, it starts off easy enough, sign up for a free google apps trial (https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/), create a fake(and/or free for 30 days) domain using godaddy (godaddy.com) and for the next 30 days study...
