Did you know the 79" Ikea BILLY bookcase weighs 80lb?
My right shoulder sure does.
Three hours. It took me three hours to put together three of these bookcases.
But my roommate made me this nifty cardboard Bracelet of Power to give the strength to go on.
~* WONDER WOMANNNNN *~
Oh, and we also ended up with this nifty wall o' books, built by me and stocked by my roommate, who would like you to know that the books aren't organized, but they will be soon.
I think in all there were 22 boxes of books! Next time you move, scavenge the recycle dumpster behind your local liquor store. Liquor bottle cartons are perfect for lots of small but heavy things, like books and DVDs.
There's a lot more to do in the new place, but at least the "library" is handled, and the floor space all those boxes of books were taking up is cleared. Onward!
