That's awesome Jeff, thanks! I'm elated to see the 2nd
projector effort come to fruition and think it will greatly
benefit the space.

Perhaps one could mount the projector onto some sort
of wheeled cart? That way it can be projected wherever
but not easily stolen. Same goes for the other projector,
which weighs like 9000 lbs.
