How a house gets stuffed to overflowing... When I finished my masters degree in 1978 and moved to NJ to work at Bell Labs, I needed a dresser. Still with a poor grad student's attitude, I bought a 5-drawer dresser at the local cheap unfinished furniture store. Some stain and polyurethane and I was in business. The dresser was demoted over the years and is currently storing stuff in my office/lab. One of the wooden drawer slides broke the other day and instead of getting rid of the dresser and fetching one of the ones in the basement, I spent parts of three days gluing everything back together properly.
