Q: Are books heavier than clothes?

• <div><p>Yes, books are typically heavier than clothes, unless you have a collection exclusively of paperbacks or comic books. That&rsquo;s why packing lots of books warrants careful planning and consideration. Consider packing up your reading collection first to determine whether you need to downsize it before loading it into your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-moving-truck.htm">moving truck</a>.</p></div>

Q: What's the best wood for closet drawers?

• <div><p>Plywood offers excellent stability and strength for drawer construction. Baltic birch plywood provides a premium appearance, while standard hardwood plywood offers good value. Solid wood works well but requires more attention to grain direction and seasonal movement.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a building permit for a closet?

• <div><p>You may need a building permit to add a closet, depending on the size and kind of work required to install it. The most likely scenario requiring a permit involves changing the structure of the house and performing electrical work for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bright-ideas-closet-lighting.htm">closet lighting</a>. A permit can cost between $100 and $450. If you&rsquo;re installing a smaller reach-in closet, a permit may not be required, but always check with your local municipality and consult a closet designer or builder.</p></div>

Q: How should I secure DIY home office built-ins to the wall?

• <div><p>When you are securing your DIY home office built-ins to the wall, you should start by<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-find-stud-in-wall.htm"> locating the wall studs</a>. You'll then want to use long screws to attach the cabinets, shelves, and bookcases directly to the wall studs. Your built-ins will be far too heavy to attach to the drywall alone by using anchors.</p></div>

Q: How long does packing/unpacking take?

• <div><p>Most packing services take 4-12 hours, while unpacking may take 1-2 days, depending on volume.</p></div>

Closets questions, answered by experts

Yes, books are typically heavier than clothes, unless you have a collection exclusively of paperbacks or comic books. That’s why packing lots of books warrants careful planning and consideration. Consider packing up your reading collection first to determine whether you need to downsize it before loading it into your moving truck.

Plywood offers excellent stability and strength for drawer construction. Baltic birch plywood provides a premium appearance, while standard hardwood plywood offers good value. Solid wood works well but requires more attention to grain direction and seasonal movement.

You may need a building permit to add a closet, depending on the size and kind of work required to install it. The most likely scenario requiring a permit involves changing the structure of the house and performing electrical work for closet lighting. A permit can cost between $100 and $450. If you’re installing a smaller reach-in closet, a permit may not be required, but always check with your local municipality and consult a closet designer or builder.

When you are securing your DIY home office built-ins to the wall, you should start by locating the wall studs. You'll then want to use long screws to attach the cabinets, shelves, and bookcases directly to the wall studs. Your built-ins will be far too heavy to attach to the drywall alone by using anchors.
