Near disaster and questions on finds

Here's how I store my "stuff": I keep my collection in my basement, so I
have made shelves out of cement blocks and 2x4's (like the outdoor flower
displays at WalMart), and then I put 1/2" plywood on top of the 2x4's and
screw it down with drywall screws.
If you feel that you need extra strength, you can lay the 2x4's on edge,
and then screw the plywood on. Yes, this method may be a bit heavy, but
how often are you going to move them?
