Ringing the changes

'Der room' has become a bit of a tip of late. I think this is a genetic thing as its a trait my brother and I share, though he has most of it, and the lady of the house is a tidy freak (still, she did choose me, and she can't claim she didn't know what I was like before we got married).


A plan was hatched last week that involved some low cunning. After the lady of the house had had one too many beers at the work Christmas do I sprung my trap.

'can I buy some more shelves like I was talking about last week?'
'Ok, just put them on Visa'

Wooo Hoooo.

So, after two trip's to warehouse stationary (the first was where I almost got to the buying point, then realised I had come into town on the bike rather than in the car...) I had two of the 9 cube bookshelves. Assembly proved no problems although I was disappointed about not being able to use a soldering iron for any of it.

Now I have some place to put all of the various treasures/trash, and it just happens to be the right height for a test track.
(the shelves are on special at the moment from warehouse stationary $120, and the stool was from the warehouse for $50)
