I have scored a pair of new bookcases for the studio which has rendered the bookcases that were there surplus. They are each eight inches deep, one is 36 inches wide, the other 24 inches wide. They match, but are not wonderful bookcases, made of thin pine, lovingly finished by the lovely daisy_knotwise, but not of the best original construction, as the tops have a tendency to come loose. Nevertheless, they are better than no bookcase and will serve well if not overly stressed.

I also have a surplus six foot high, 36 inch wide metal storage shelf that no longer fits in the new basement configuration. Like most such shelves, it can be disassembled for transport. :)

I'd like to be rid of these by next weekend so that they're out of the way.

Let me know if you're interested and can come pick them up.

I'm sure you'll have lots of takers. I'd take them myself, but there's no way I can drive to Chicago right now.

I certainly am not going to be anywhere near you anytime soon, so I'm not bidding for the shelves.

I'm just draw-joppingly befuddled at the concept of "shelves" or "bookcases" and "surplus" in the same universe!

Why didn't more of you rub off on your GBC? (or me, for that matter.)

Well, what's happened is that there's only a finite amount of wall space in our house to put bookcases and shelving on. When new (better) items come in, some of the old ones need to go.

You've solved this problem by building more walls. :)

Er, actually, no. The new house will have less walls.

They will, however, be *longer.* And we will have significantly more storage space, (some of it with built-in shelving) thus freeing shelves for use by books.

This is going to be the longest 9 months of my life!

PS - Love to your lady wife, I'll be thinking of her all day tomorrow.

Let me know when you sort it out. If they're not picked up by next weekend, they need to go out in Thursday's trash, so there's a small time warp problem involved. :)
