The message
from "R.P.McMurphy" contains these words:

Why anyone buys an new house nowadays beats the hell out of me!

You just get used to transferring loads down to the floor. It's not hard
- just different. Most of the shelves and things here are done with MDF
vertical panels sitting on a plinth (with webs in the plinth to carry
the load through to the floor) and glued to the wall along the back
edge. Once a couple of shelves are in each column it all stiffens up
nicely.
