---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi, I suggest that the shed open on two sides with a hinged door, if you cannot build tracks to guide all truck wheels so they stay oriented properly. I often had to pull that piano out alone. Sometimes I had to crawl under the piano, into the dark, dirty, and spidery recesses of that cave when I couldn't get enough pull power and had to push, or orient wheels. I was somewhat glad when the stage crew dismantled it. Just some thoughts -Mike Sheffey Gregory wrote: > I'm Sheffey Gregory, now technician for a university concert > grand.
