I am wondering what all of you who don't have a lift do.

I was thinking that if you had a big tree limb over your driveway you could use a hoist to lift the shell. But then I thought about how unpredictable the strength of a tree limb can be. In some cases it can hold a tremendous load and in others it can fail if the wind hits it wrong. Imagine a suspended 914 shell pancaking into the pavement, followed a microsecond later by a tree limb smashing into it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
Reminds me of the Tool Time episode when Tim drops an I-beam on his wife's Chevy Nomad Wagon! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
