I've just moved into a new apartment and there is a nice long wall that would be perfect for putting my bookcases on, except for the fact that there's a baseboard heater along there. I'm thinking about removing the heater, capping off the wires, and putting the bookcases in front of it. There are two other heater units, one in the hallway right behind the living room and another in the dining room, so I figure I'll just let it go and see how the temperature holds up in the chilly season, and if necessary supplement it with a space heater hooked up to an outlet.<br> <br> How are these things attached to the wall and how do I get one off? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.63455 Sat, 26 May 2007 16:01:35 -0800 apartment baseboard baseboardheat heat kindall
