Your use of "so" implies that there was some purpose or reasoning involved. I'm sure he didn't give it a first thought, let alone a second thought. He probably conceived of that step as putting the box "up there somewhere."

My dad had a clarinet player in the late twenties who had to take breaks often and usually came back smelling of peanuts... or something. My dad implied it was wine. What a scourge alcoholism is!
