14" LX-200 one man setup?

Guess i'm crazy,for even thinking of buying a 14" LX-200, but i wonder if i can handle this by scope myself.

I've had two 12" LX-200's and i could handle them ok!

My plans are to keep the 14" stored on a counter waist high, that way i never have to bend down or up to lift the scope. I would carry the scope from the counter, to about 20ft outside, and then mount it on its tripod, with a scope saver. Just thinking of wrestling it out of the door with all that weight kinda scares me.

Does anyone handle this scope without any help?
