I am glad to hear that you have had good experiences with the bricks and boards-- I think I will try it. I can probably get my friend's brother to help me schlep, if he is in the area schlepping for her. Although, as a single person I have in the past been amazed at the stuff I can carry up my stairs. Once I brought a six drawer dresser up the stairs all by myself!
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

Once upon a time, I thought about going the brick/board route using those glass blocks.
Never got around to doing that, but were I to now, I think I'd still use glass blocks.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We have about 8 of these, which we have bought of the last few years. [link]
They are great because they fold up to move. They are also incredibly flexible. You can put them on top of each other for tall shelves, or side by side. They also look like nice furniture, which is a bonus.

Those are nice Robin... they look like they are easy to move AND like they are real wood!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Famous Poems Rewritten as Limericks
There once was a girl named Lenore
And a bird and a bust and a door
And a guy with depression
And a whole lot of questions
And the bird always says "Nevermore."
There was a man who, at low tide
Would walk with the Lord by his side
Jesus said "Now look back;
You'll see one set of tracks.
That's when you got a piggy-back ride."

MEXICO CITY - A 16-year-old U.S. tourist fell 1,000 feet to his death at an abandoned mine in central Mexico, and rescue workers were trying to recover his body on Saturday.
Witnesses told police that Taylor Crane tried to jump over the 10-foot-wide shaft of the Cinco Senores mine in Guanajuato state and fell in Friday, said Jose Felix Velazquez, a spokesman for police in San Luis de la Paz, where the mine is located.
Damn. How far could a typical 16-year-old jump? An athletic 16-year-old?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The long jump world record is on the order of thirty feet.

I'm pretty sure I could clear 10 feet with a bit of a start, but not so sure I'd want to try it over a gaping mine shaft.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
A quick google shows winning long jumps in high school competitions a bit over 20 feet.
