The week after I invited some of my family, who also got a chance to see my new house. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I didn't really get a rolling ladder, but I personally think it may be even better: a library chair. It's a chair which flaps open and then becomes a set of steps so you can reach those top shelves. One wall of my stdy in my attic is made up entirely of shelves. Conclusion: I need more books.

It was a really interesting experience and a lovely challange. Here are the results: http://picasaweb.google.… Read how I did it…
