Bodge JobsIf you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

I get some wood the same width as the skirting boards.Drill holes in the back of the bookshelves and then into the masonry (it can be tricky - an extra pair of hands helps.) Rawl plugs into the bricks, then some long screws thru the bookshelves, piece of wood and then into the rawl plug. Those fuckers aren't going anywhere.
EDIT: I even had some bookshelves made with the piece of wood already fastened to to back of the shelves!
