Default Re: Off topic a bit (garage)

Rich, don't give up on your idea for a lift. At 75, I can still crawl under the car, it's the coming out that's the problem!! Here in AZ, they build most houses on something called a "post tension" slab. This means there are cables in the concrete that are cranked down after the pour to keep the slab from cracking. Only problem is that you dare not drill into the floor for fear of hitting one of these. Once severed, the cable explodes, along with pieces of concrete. So my four post lift just sits in place and I use it almost everyday. I'd bet your garage floor concrete is plenty thick enough for one like this.


Good luck, Dick.
