The booksehlves are in. They look much better there than did the desk - the room is more open. (When the desk was gone and the shelves weren't there, it looked like bare/wasted space - but with the shelves it's nice).
I need another shelf set. I also need to find at least two mounting thingies for the one shelf remaining from the last shelf set. If I fail, the next shelf set will have a couple extras, as they usually do....
Have moved the obvious candidates over from the bookshelf closer to my desk. Will need to unpack the boxes of crud that were on the floor and figure out where they belong. But I'm deferring that until after I have the shelf set. Since it is nice to actually have places to put the things you are sorting out. I can pick it up tomorrow on the way home from work.(The new set needs only one more shelf. The one near my desk, however, is being repurposed from 'mostly large computer books' to 'mostly smaller stuff with some larger stuff' and needs more shelves. Plus, well, I need the mounting thingies. Sigh.)

pheon who got a call from me today basically asking if I should push ahead with what I was doing or try something different. As it turned out, the answer was push ahead and that worked. (Very, VERY stubborn stud that did not want to let the screws in - I wasn't sure I hadn't hit metal. He pointed out logically that I should try to drill - that would let the screw in if it was just a really hard stud, and not work if it was metal. It worked. For certain 'ow my arm got a workout' values of work. This bookcase is not gonna come down accidentally. I'm not sure it'll come down if we want it to....)
