Major closet repair
A little while after I unpacked and hung a bunch of shirts in the closet,
we were downstairs and heard a peculiar noise.
We went hunting through the house,
trying to figure out what had happened.
Presently we discovered that the closet shelves had collapsed!
A little investigation revealed that they hadn't been attached
to the studs,
and were therefore not very well anchored.
I extracted all the clothing and stowed it
in an assortment of bins and boxes,
and stacked the rest of it on top.
I then proceeded to remove the twisted wreckage of the original
flimsy wire shelves.
I hadn't liked the existing arrangement particularly,
but the collapse meant I would have to go ahead and deal with it now.
