I talked with a guy once that dug a hole in his basement floor and sank 
the enlarger after pouring new concrete to cover the dirt. My original 
statement was not really aimed at 8x10 enlargers which bring a whole new 
set of problems since some have columns longer than 8 feet. For shorter 
columns, One can drop the counter and use a low chair to sit at, then 
its just a matter of using a focus extension cable or a bicycle chain 
running off a sprocket permanently mounted to the focus shaft.
