storage shed help

[Michael Jorgensen]

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
