Thanks o Christ, I'm am able to everything needed for this work. However, I have weight restrictions on my arm. Do you think this will be a hindrance? I want to do this line of work, but I'm afraid of the weight requirements. I'm a certified art teacher, but I feel AD work is my calling.

I do lift quite a bit when I get supplies for my department and I also set up for special events. I just depends on how much your budget is, how many people you have and if you will be the one to set up for special functions.
