Q: Build / Buy bookshelves or go for built-ins?

Hi all. I live in a twin with a wonderful neighbor on the other side of the wall. We are the jerks here. We have loud children, thin walls, and limited storage. One room in particular is bad. So, I was thinking of building some built in bookshelves on the shared wall to get us more storage and help mitigate the noise. However, I was wondering if I could get the same effect from buying or building bookcases. Also thinking of dropping sheet of that sound mitigating drywall as well. Thanks hivemind. submitted by /u/JimiSlew3 [link] [comments]
