After laying on the floor in the office for a while after discovering my mistake and then sulking on the couch for a short while, I decided to call some people. First, my grandfather told me that filling in all the holes and then re-drilling was his solution. That sounded about the same to me as pulling everything apart. Dad then told me that I could likely figure things out and that he wasn't really sure but thought that the fiasco was kinda funny...this got me to go and sulk on the couch some more.
Finally, after a sufficient amount of sulking I had the brilliant idea that I could just make the shelf thicker on the end with the inverted shelf. It was decided that a 5/8" spacer on each shelf would do the trick.
The amount of sulking that took place did eat into my workable hours today. I did manage to get all of the shelves cut and the front and rear rails cut as well. Everything was sanded to 220 and I called it a night.
Backing up, the wife and I tried to get the bookcase into the office through the hall and it was simply too long. Fortunately, there is an outside door to the office. After carrying the bookcase outside and around the house it finally made it to its final residence in the office.
Big slips make for long days. The good news is that I should be able to have this one done tomorrow.
