I don't think so, but my books caused my main joist to bow at my old house - so much so that our kitchen contractor told us to put an extra house jack in.

If my books and piano aren't going to make this house crumble, my fabric surely won't either.

This place was built in 1915 with dimensional lumber which is at least 1 inch bigger than current code.
