Spent the Bank Holiday weekend picking, buying, carrying, opening, returning, assembling, moving and stacking shelves. I never want to build another shelf again. Some important things I’ve learnt about them:
-As soon as you buy one shelf, it will become impossible to buy any more in the same line, forcing you to have mismatched shelves or to start all over again.
-The only free walls in the house will have electrical, gas, water or all three running behind them.
-If the shelf parts were made level, your floor wasn’t.
-Stores clearly use an equation to convert from storing CDs to DVDs instead of actually counting them as shelves never hold the DVDs they claim.
-Shelves are extremely heavy, but can just fit on the No. 28 bus.
-You always need one more shelf than you bought.
