The Library - Part II

So after all the painting was done, we built the storage
 boxes from the parts we had finished in San Diego.

1) Clamp first side to top of box

2) Drill holes and screw the two together

3) Clamp and attach second side to the top

4) Clamp and attach back to the top

5) Attach the base to sides first, then back.

6) First box done!

7) Repeat twice for all three boxes

8) Attach the Extend-O-Legs (22"long pieces of 2x3" studs)
 to each leg of the ladders with two 1" steel plates

9) All three ladders done. At this point decide that you do not like the way 
the old 2x3s and the new 2x3s were such different colours... so:

10) Make a quick trip to Target and buy three pairs of knee high socks 
in two different patterns, stripey and argyle, and sock the Extend-O-Legs

 Add the boxes to each ladder and there it is!

Each box has wheels (with brakes!) so I can climb up on 
them to reach the topmost shelf.
