[SML] FOH hang and focus safety improvement needed

[taco at peak.org]

You know those lockers that we sometimes keep spray paint in? One has a lock that some board member has the key to, and guns are sometimes kept there. There are drawings in that locker. How useful they are is anybody's guess, but it's a place to start.

I am sure that a PE will be necessary - I was just questioning the need for an 
architect. 

We own the building, but I doubt if any drawing exist. We did have a 
structural engineer examine the building recently to make sure it is sound. 
But I don't think he closely examined the wall strengths, just stated that the 
existing ceiling beams would support flying our electrics. 

Mounting tracks on the walls, which is starting to appear to be the best 
choice, is another matter. The mobile catwalk will have to be pretty heavy to 
be able to span that roughly 30 foot span.
