Hi brothers and pledges,
I need some help to replace the Press Shop shelf that collapsed in
October. My back and left hip has been quite painfully sprained bad
for over a month. Right now, there is no way I can do any of this by
myself.
MITSFS has reused a shelf that is more than big enough (see 2nd email
at the end). It will fit in the back APOffice where the small
bookshelf of Printing books is now.
1) As soon as possible, moved the shelf from outside W20-473 to
inside W20-415.
If it's gone, please let me know.
Should be possible to do it with the grey cart.
As space is tight with BookEx on the large cart, & SWE's shipments
coming in for this term, I suggest standing it up by the printer,
or between or next to the couch nearest the biggest table for a few days.
The shelf is 9" x 36" x 90". It's was on it's side Sunday. Beige
metal. There are a half dozen loose shelves that are inside.
2) I need maybe three people to help move the shelf into position,
and unpack the five large boxes of paper in the back and front
APOffice onto the shelves.
Will take two to three hours tops.
I could come down any afternoon or evening.
Anyone want to be manpower chair?
Thanks.

Subject: DEAD - invite card/envelope shelves
Hi brothers,
* I walked in the APOffice this afternoon, and found the metal shelves
by the yellow wall entry to the back APOffice ('ween the Grey PAINTS
cabinet, and the floor to ceiling green chalk board) bent out with much
of the card and envelopes on the floor.
* If you know how this happened, please let us know, so we learn what
not to do in the future.
The adjacent couch was away from the wall, with some of the stock
behind it. This makes me wonder if someone tried to move the
shelves from the middle? Perhaps to get at the cables behind them?
* PFTGOTO: it's is best to move tall furniture from the bottom, with a one or
more people balancing the top.
* PFTGOTO: if you are aware of a safety issue in the APOffice, send
email to
apo-news@mit.edu
* The contents of the shelves are now temporarily in four boxes. They
are HEAVY and flimsy. PLEASE be careful if you have to move them.
* Molly came by the APOffice, and as Press Shop Manager said we would
not try to fix the shelves, but would replace them.
* I suggest AX get heavy duty rolling shelves like the three SWE has
in their corner. But with five or six shelves each.
It also be good to replace the scrapbook shelves with rolling
shelves, so repair and maintenance of that radiator would be
easier.
* I plan to take the old shelves apart, and take the pieces home.
