    Satisfying, eh ?

    But can I ask why the first bookshelf on the left is different?

    That was my working shelf prior to getting the other ones more or less out of hock. This whole affair ended up taking about 9 hours and I was just too tired to tackle that bastard. However, it's a little different anyway since it's where all the notebooks are. So, it's still a "working shelf" as it contains a lot of the crap I use on the regular.

    Also, you may notice that the socially acceptable stuff is on the other bookshelf, where visitors may conceivably notice them but all the really weird/cool shit is in our room.

    Please love yourself.

      I like the second shelf. I noticed the builder used one-by stuff set in dados. I'm curious about the double thickness on some shelves...Are those for adjustable shelves?

      Oh, the castors are neat, too.

        We’ve been going through a bit of “moving in” ourselves! Finally installed a lot of shelves around the house to get the boxes of curios and Knickknacks up. I cleared out the room that will be our secondary media room (read ManCave), painted, and I mounted the TV last night. We also have started getting more pictures hung and are converting several older ones to PDF and are getting a few digital frames to alternate the pictures… Starting to settle in after 9 years…

            I hate this adulting shit of not being able to live out of one room. I'd still do it were it not for the family revolt I'd have on my hands.

              Karla was asking me how I am adjusting to having the kittens. I said the kittens are great, but it’s the new additional stuff we need to have in the house… We finally start decluttering, opening up space, and now we add in multiple cat trees, big honking litterboxes, and other new stuff to keep the kitties happy.

                          I dunno what you're talking about with that second one. I often race to the bathroom only to find that one of them beat me in there so you know what? Buddy system, kitty, I gotta go and I'm bigger than you.

                          We talk in the bathroom sometimes.

                              Thanks, blondie! I didn't really work at it with any intention, I just... never got rid of any books. And the way things are going now, I'm glad I didn't.

                                Love the collection, Aqua. Reminds me of my friend Sondra who had an incredible book collection that was sadly scattered to the wind through her estate sale.

                                  @Aqua-Letifer You inspire me Aqua. I’ve been downsizing for years now, but have this little remaining collection of books from my dad. Early prairie homesteading, farming, ranching stuff. I’ve no one to leave these books to, have been looking for a small town museum or something similar, but ya know, I might just keep them. They don’t take up a lot of space. I like that they’re from my dad and his dad & grandpa before him.

                                    That's great, blondie! I'm going to give mine to my daughter if she wants them (I'm going to try to get her hooked early but you never know with these things), but if that doesn't work I'll donate them to a library or writer's center. My grandmother would really like that.

                                        I go back to mine all the time. I'd be silly to get rid of them.

                                          I once considered suggesting to Mrs. Phibes that we could get rid of all her old books and slowly replace them with Kindle versions.

                                          Luckily I came to my senses before opening my stupid mouth, because the alternative would have been coming to my senses in a hospital ward at some point later.

                                          I was only joking
