Moved into my first house this past May, and prior to the move I bought storage boxes (those white cardboard ones from Bags Unlimited) to put all my records and CDs into, and in a flourish of something-or-other, I ended up breaking apart and tossing out the various wood and particle board shelves I'd been using forever, which was a wonderful feeling since I'd grown very tired of seeing nothing but particle board surrounding my every step in my old apartment.
But, 6 months of not having ready access to anything (except for those boxes that happen to be on top of the stacks that surround my desk) is driving me nuts, so I am going to begin a project of building a storage system for my basement. I am moderately competent at sawing/woodwork, so I'm not afraid of putting in some heavy hours in getting a relatively permanent set-up going. Does anyone here have any experience with this sort of thing? I'm talking about enough space for 1500 LPs and 3000 or so CDs. Types of wood recommended? Plywood? "Modular" shelves capable of changing heights?
I dunno. Tabula rasa and all that...
