Y'all? I am really self-absorbed right now and I realize it, sorry.

Dunno if Google Sketchup would work for you. Free, and in spite of 3-D emphasis apparently is used for furniture layous. [link]

But I'm still with the people who say liquor store boxes. Plus get large boxes for light stuff from Walmart, Target, Costco, Freddie Meyers or whatever big box (heh) stores are in your area.

Sarameg, there are lots of free places online that you can layout rooms.

I just cannot wrap my head around buying boxes.

It's possible you're not wrapping your head around how many books I have.

The most important factor in book-holding boxes is that they aren't too large. Books weigh a ton, and it's easy to exceed the holding capacity of a box right quickly.

The most important factor in book-holding boxes is that they aren't too large.

Hence the suggestion for liquor store boxes. Not too large, designed to hold bottles filled with liquid, one of the few things on earth heavier per cubic foot than books. And you can fit enough flattened boxes to hold a median buffista library into the trunk of a suburu.

The problem with liquor boxes is that many of them have an opening at the bottom or they have dividers that are part of the box.

Is anyone watching Kings? It has good things, but one character is such a Mary Sue.

sarameg, buying a home is huge. No worries on being a little single focus. And, because I wasn't around earlier, CONGRATULATIONS!

I won't use it so much for placement because I HAVE NO IDEA. I know what I want in what rooms/floors, but beyond that, I'm going to be doing a lot of shoving because..I HAVE NO IDEA.

I never really thought about it prior to my things arriving. The night I got here, I sketched out where things might go when the movers brought it and *miraculously* everything fit. The entertainment center could not have been a single inch wider, but it all fit.

I am not to be a model for moving though. Heck, I barely told people I was leaving. I just ... did it. Then emailed.

Thanks guys, I've bookmarked. I have the google one, and have found it rather frustrating, but that's user issues.

I have no worries of fitting. This place is so much bigger, I just have to aim for floors. Well, ok, the bedroom stuff goes in the master bedroom. Like the sewing machine. Everything else can go where-ever, mostly. I can move it on a single floor. Which I will because, again NO CLUE.

aurelia's link should not be looked at if you're super-tired enough to think you might be hallucinating. Srsly.

agreed. I have never been that flexible. And I do not have that kind of core strength
