PERSONAL: shelving

My house is topsy turvy at present, as I finally got someone to put in shelves for me. It hasn't quite turned out to be the ceiling to floor extravaganza of my imagination, but it will mean more storage space once I get them varnished. I am not sure when this is going to happen and I'm really dubious about my ability to do it neatly, but I'm still at the stage of looking at my alcoves and oohing over shelves that weren't there before, so I'm not letting that daunt me. Of course, this means that furniture is all over the place, sawdust will be haunting corners of my house for weeks, and there are piles of boxes of books and piles of books all over. I suspect that all the new shelves will alleviate the problem, but not fully resolve it. However, I am serious about sorting through my books, even if I'll be doing it at tortosie-like speed. As my carrot, I am sure that doing so will help me find the Eba Ibbotson books I seem to have misplaced. I am also excited about putting books that are generically linked together on my new shelves.
