Thanks Carla.

That looks better than others I have seen previously. My major concern is the
weight.

The biggest problem that we may not be able to solve, and it applies to any
scaffolding/man-lift system, is "Where do we store it when not in use?". We
just do not have the vacant floor space. The only way we could generate enough
room would be to remove the couches in the Green Room - and I don't see that
being approved.
