"A pint's a pound," Richard.  100 gallons of water weighs 800 pounds.
I certainly don't worry about 4 or 5 friends standing shoulder to
shoulder in my apartment.  My waterbed is a helluva lot heavier than
that, and it is in my second floor apartment.
   Although the people downstairs complain that after the Whittier
quake, the plaster on their ceiling is cracked right under the bed.
I told them it was just the flexure of the frame (it's a wood frame
building).  I hope I'm right :-).
