No. Interestingly, the car and the lift together are actually lighter than the Tahoe, and the footprint of the lift is much larger than tire footprint, distributing the weight better. As you can see, we have a very high ceiling (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Not sure if the 1920's floor slab is thick enough & doubt that it's reinforced - but that probably will work on mine floor slab too with that logic! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Although it was built in 1921, the local high school came in next door in 1956 & built tennis courts to withing 18" of the south wall (before we owned it) - thereby forcing it into a non-conforming setback & thereby a supposed fire hazard - even though there are 3 sets of tennis courts lengthwise (450'+) to the nearest building! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) So the City told me that if I did anything "different" to the garage, that I'd have to rebuild the south wall to 1 hr. fire resistive (it's detached, but similar to the typical attached gar. house-to-garage wall constr.), & that they may then also require me to expand it from the original Model T size 18' x 17'-6" to 20x20! How the heck that keeps it "historically correct" is beyond me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

If you can't go up Tom, you could go down. Put a pit in it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
