bought something i always wanted

[Lloyd Smale]

bought myself a 4 post lift for the pole barn. To many toys and it so full i can barely put the lawn mower in it so it was either that or another garage and the wife said two of those is enough. It will be nice to work on and do maintance on everything. At least i tell her that. For the most part anymore the son in law whos a mechanic does that crap. Ive allways been a car guy and did my share of wrenching but it was never what i considered part of the fun. Just some crap that had to be done to enjoy the ride. This ones pretty cool. Its got casters on it and even with a car on it you can roll it outside into the driveway if you want.

Good for you Lloyd. Never seen an armored card in a funeral possession. Get it and use it while you're still able.

Lifts in general are really nicer
than when I started in the business.
They had those old single post
in ground hydraulic jobs that
killed a good many
I've seen a good many cars dumped
off on the shop floor, and several
upside down

I thought about a 2 post which is better for working on cars but the 4 posts are much easier to use and safer and like i said i can rool it out the door and use it in the driveway. One other reason i went that way is most lift companys say you need 4.5 inches of concrete to support one. Mine is 4 inch. I was told by a few that even 3.5 is plenty but it just made me nervous. This way i dont even have to drill a hole in the floor.
