about renting? Kristi mentioned "Sew What?" - I've used their rental<br>
side of the business "Rent What?" many times, and everything has<br>
always been in good shape, and shipped very well (and as inexpensively<br>
as heavy drapes can be shipped). Plus, they send all the certificates<br>
of flame retardancy, snip samples, etc. I know there are other<br>
companies that rent as well, but maybe that's an option?<br>

I got him to give me a very basic/rough quote on a recent project they just did, simular to what I was thinking. When I presented that rough price to the director of the HS musical & the Actives assistant, they thought that price was far more than they can swing at this time. I hope they use it as leverage to get the wall painted, sooner than later. I will keep all of your suggestions of venders on file incase things change.<br>
