Allow me to express my intense hatred for whomever designed the pipe structure stage right. Had you put some thought into it, perhaps you could have found a solution that didn't involve one of the four most often used battens in the theatre potentially derailing itself. Also, thanks a lot for not being considerate enough to remove your disaster before another group had to use the building.

[INDENT]Techie 1# sincerely, the guy that has to remove it right now.
Techie 1# Also allow me to thank you for using rotolocks on the two points receiving the least lateral load, and also the only two points that require the longest pipe in the playhouse to be lifted straight up. Good design there.
Techie 4# The rotolocks were for space considerations. and, it's the *second* longest pipe in the building. I can't argue that lifting the pipe out would not be miserable, as dropping it in certainly wasn't.
sincerely, the jerk that assembled that and... forgot to remove it.

Techie 1# You are forgiven. Part of me was entertained taking it apart.
Techie 2# it seems like this was almost/more as stupid as bolting two bars together... and then "quick releasing" ~400 lbs off of it. Thinking back, I am glad we didnt go with that plan
Techie 3# ahhh, memories
Actor/Director All in all its probably easier then building and operating elevators on stage....
And really that was only because (stage manager) wouldn't let me fly (actress)
And really that was only because everyone wouldn't let me cut a hole in the proscenium and insta...ll a balcony. (Come on you could have used it a dozen times by now!)
Techie 2# (Actor/Director), the usefulness of the balcony would be true if it wasn't for the fact that the building would have fallen down (at least on that side)
Techie 3# That's how most of (Actor/Director)'s plans were fated to end. ;-)[/INDENT]
