If you have someone in your life who does home improvement tasks for you, give them the mad sexorz. Well, if you have that kind of relationship with them, of course. At the very least, fabulous cash prizes and/or home-cooked meals should be a regular reward for such folk, because let me tell you, building these shelves was in no way near the pain in the ass it was to mount the bastards.

Herein is the visual representation of today's current Adventures in Shelving:





And yes, I know they look like a blind Boyscout's failed merit badge project.

And yes, I am more than a little proud of them anyway.

[EDIT: I wonder if my lovely lesbian landladies are going to knock me crosswise into a wall when they realize that I had to drill 5/16" holes in the walls and put in hollow wall anchors to put these things up. Goodbye, damage deposit, we knew thee well...]

I think they look... rustic. :)
It's nice.
Good job!

Heh. And the silliest thing about the is that I deliberately 'rusticated' them - they were actually pretty straight-edged. I guess I have a problem with anything that's too straight - makes me cranky.

And yes, I do believe that extends to things other than shelving. No shocked expressions, please. ;P

Neat trick:

Fill the wholes with toothpaste or woodglue when you move out.

With any luck they won't notice.

Since they actually act like real landlords and fix shit when it goes wrong, chances are that they are going to see them long before I move out. Argh. Hope they don't kill me, because I really like this place and want to actually live in for a while...
