My apartment just doesn't have any storage (three bedrooms but only two closets in the place). Right now I'm fine stacking them (I can't go higher... but we'll cross that bridge later). But I think it's every collector's dream to have a little room for their books. Sliding shelves on counterweights for each box, little plastic index cards with each books logo emblazoned upon it and some magical way to deal with the "Superman" diamond numbers! Ah, sweet, sweet fantasy. ;^) > ....and ok, I'll bite...how does one shorten a long box? (no, I don't need > the lids with my fancy schmancy shelves) :D Just slice down the bottom folds as many inches as you need, then trim that much off the end of the box then make new folds in the same way as the old. You won't have the nice little tab to lock the over the top fold in place, but duct tape does that job (as it does every other). Besides, the weight of the books will hold it closed regardless. We used to do this all the time in this shop I "knew" in NY - they got free shelving from someplace, but it was old fruit-stand shelving. Perfectly and strong as hell - but just 5 or 6 inches too short. ;^) Jim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:155377 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
