They don't fit in the drawer standing upright, hence the sideways. Maybe I should arrange so the spines are down, I just don't get slabs that have movement that would damage the edge being stored the other way though I probably should just default to spines down.

I store my books on their side with the spines down. I figure that eliminates any chance of the slab "holding" onto the cover while the interior pages slide down over time and rip the staples free from the cover.

the blob Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) On 3/14/2023 at 12:26 PM, Turnando said: I suspect that a single stack of long boxes would be more of a point load than a distributed load. I think the 40 lbs per square foot design requirement is for a distributed (average) load. Stack long boxes 3 high across a significant portion of your floor. That is probably when you are safe but at the limit. The safety factor is probably 3 or 4 so you can go much higher before you snap your floor but why? (Long box is about 1.6 square ft) Massive cleanup of the room in question. I might have too much up against an exterior wall now though, possible (not stacked that high, but maybe too much anyway), but what was once a disaster area has been cleaned up. That hallway is empty. The big room I have posted before, all my junk is on one side and I have a curtain dividing the room in half. The other side is now a nice guest suite/office area where we had a house guest spend 2 weeks in July. And another room that had been packed is now wide open and I plan on having an art studio space up there. Unfortunately, during the 2-3 weeks I was cleaning up that floor (threw out massive amounts of junk) I injured my achilles from all the up and down. What was probably a partial tear turned into a complete rupture when I fell down outside. I have not been able to get up that flight of stairs for 2 months due to my condition. Been completely cut off from my comics! I will take pictures once I am able to get up those stores safely. Maybe a month.

Spine down for this exact reason. factory sealed and Kerdese 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems I remember when you bought the pinball and posted here, less rust than all that it turned out or I'm guessing. Still works as a bench table though. Nice! 👍 Mmehdy and ThothAmon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I wish I knew who to tag? Any thoughts on rust migration? Are these too bad off to instantly use?

ADAMANTIUM Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 The insides look ok, outside got rust on my shirt, so it's somewhere. Pretty much pitch black out now, so hopefully the pics can tell us something 😄?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
