Well, at .5 lbs./78, I have 33,500 lbs. of shellac-based material...a lot on 
the
2nd floor! My previous abode (211 Pape Av. in Toronto) began to show
evidence of "overload" after I put about 2,000 78's on the 2nd floor...and
it was built in 1886 AFAIK. Apparently, houses were built much better 17
years earlier...?!
