Hoisting pianos

[Greg Newell]

Joe,
         Just like the fork lift it won't go 
through the double doors from outside into the 
foyer and the double doors leading from the foyer 
to the sanctuary. I also checked out the weight 
capacity and I'm not comfortable being what I'd 
consider WAY TOO CLOSE to the limit.

best,
Greg Newell
