[AT] New Shed and Lift

Sat Jul 3 21:46:26 PDT 2004

Danny laid 6" reinforced concrete and I see 8000 lb lifts listed in 
Northern Tool catalogs.  I may take your advice and just go 10,000, not 
a lot more money, and can do more.  Around my area, garages and shops 
put lifts outside if they have no inside room.
