Patrick Conroy asks:

Thinking about doing floor-ceiling bookcases in my study. Ceiling is 9' in
there.

In another room I'm doing base cabinets with the bookcase on top of them -
to overcome limitations of a 8' sheet of hardwood plywood.

Just wondering - if I want to skip the base cabinet approach - and make a 9'
tall bookcase, what are some of the techniques involved? How do you folks
get 9' of sides out of a 8' hunk o' plywood?

I've considering asking the same dude that auctioned off the Time Machine to
see if he has a plywood stretching machine. Or warping the space time
continuum. In the meantime, I thought I'd ask the wreck.

Look for some place that sells 9' plywood. It's available, usually fairly
easily found if you check local lumber dealers, plywood dealers, but don't
expect to find any at HD or Lowe's.

Failing that, build it 8' tall in 2 sections, with a 1' tall center section
with, maybe, a drawer or 2 in it. Might also be a bottom section.
