    picture of it adjusting a shelf, with 16 other shelves already mounted to the wall.
    about half of the shelves are still empty. some of the things contained in the other half are:
    camera equipment and lenses, pens and stationary;
    vinyls put into a gap between two shelves;
    books sitting atop the top shelves;
    arts and crafts materials (e.g. wood, acrylic, ...);
    a bunch of different types of accessories (bracelets, rings, ...);
    playing cards, tarot cards;
    nintendo switch games + some amiibo;
    labeled boxes with stickers in them.
    the floor is covered in many polypropylene boxes with things presumably meant for going into the empty shelves.

    screenshot of indoor air quality monitor, showing a timeline PM2.5 levels with a logarithmic scale.
    there are several distinct spikes:
    a small one around 13:00, and two very big ones around 17:00 and 19:00
