Rolling a rack on carpet

[alvin at Maggie.Linux-Consulting.com]

hi ya

am thinking to move heavy stuff on carpet
( before it gets stuck in the carpet, and ruins it, very expensive problem
( from unfriendly landlords

- some folks put down a rolling cover/plastic on top of the carpet
	- 1/2" thick solid  plywood for example
	or solid oak doors ( relatively cheap )
	or thick/solid metal rails from home depot 
	( just drive/push straight )

	- just make sure the rack doesnt slip between the
	two plywood or solid oak doors

	- dont use the light doors... its just 0.001" thick paper doors

- other way is to use a self-powered pallet jack 
  and still might need the smooth material too

c ya
