Expansion at the WW HQ

Thanks to another birthday gift I was able to expand the WW World Headquarters.

The Headquarters were built in 2010 and I started with this bookcase..

....for the Cubs collection.

Actually, the case started...

...like this.  I added three more shelves, using the back cross supports to hold the back of the shelves and some shelf clips for the front.  I also painted it to match the rest of the basement (per a request of the WWHQ decorating queen).

The bookcase served me well for the past four year.  But the Cubs collection has grown to the point where I was running out of room for more binders.  Here is what the case looked like a couple weeks ago.

It doesn't look that way any more.  Today the single bookcase...

has a partner!  I was able to find a near-duplicate of the original at Amazon and birthday certificates got me the new case.  Some paint and some more shelves (I still need to add a third one) and now I've got room for several year's worth of Cubs collection growth.

Here's a better look at both bookcases.

Adding the second Cubs case meant I also had to shift the shelving units that hold my complete sets.  They now look like this.  The Topps sets and other complete sets are on the left.  The unit on the right has all the boxes that hold my Fleer collection and other miscellaneous boxes.

My desk didn't need any changes...still good to go for cranking out a post a day!
