I'm not moving since I like my home & where I live in this part of 
Houston Tx fairly well. As to the shelving, I bought the wood I 
needed for each shelf from Houston Hardwoods then built them by 
myself as I needed new shelves. I'm sure that new shelving is nice 
but I've never run across ant I could use for records.
