If your concrete slab caves in due to a large fabric stash, well, I don't think that concrete had all of the proper strength-sustaining ingredients. :mrgreen: And, with my stash, I have about 9 64-qt containers that easily weigh about 70 lbs. So, ideally about 630+ lbs of fabric sitting on "15-year seasoned" floor joists. It's not impossible, especially adding the furniture already in the room. Oh yes, sorry ladies and gents, I tend to get a bit carried away- the mind tends to go into the engineering side a bit too much. Very close friends and my mum are always reminding me to 'come back.' :XD:
