[AT] Shop lifts

[Dave Merchant]

I would have guessed quite a bit more money.

Best to go take a look at one to see how heavy it's built.

My round tuit list has always included an old fashioned
fixed drive-up "lift" made of timbers or I-beams on their side.
As long as my kid is around to do the underneath work,
it may be a while before it happens.
