Fat Lady Backdrop Structure

Original sketch

I set up the laundry roller that will hold the Fat Lady backdrop (aka, the main prop to my costume).  I had grabbed some pvc pipe and joints to modify the roller (which only goes to a height of ~5') to get it higher so that it took up the whole doorway.  I mainly just wanted to check that it would hold the weight of the canvas without me having to figure out counterweights or anything more elaborate.  And voila, the basic structure of how it'll look.  Still have to finish the canvas, and the door will be wrapped in some of the stone scene setter, but I think it's going to look pretty awesome.
