[78-L] Filing system (was 1st 78)

[martha]

 I once had to make tenants move their upright piano, because it was sitting parallel to the floor joists & putting most of 
its weight on one or two 2x8s ... luckily, a strong set of shelves was underneath in the cellar, and it was holding up 2 
stories worth of floor and wall.
