Two thoughts... 1) I would be worried about any lateral (to the direction of the gantry beam) force on the gantry causing it to roll off the lift. Also, you are only looking at a distance of about 12 feet side to side (in reference to the auto body) most of which is the vehicle in question. 2)...

Um... Yes, there is a law against it. The only factor that makes you something other than an accessory to the crime is the fact that you bought it in good faith. Up until now you're simply looking at the cost of this lesson being the cost you paid for the stolen merch. If you don't 'fess up, you...

When is a pit not a pit? When it is a second floor (basement)! After hearing that new constructions were prohibited from having pits I asked a newly done quickie oil change place how they got the ability to build... They told me that the "pit" was actually a second floor, with a seperate...

Lenny - During my youth I spent a period of time working for the local gas station... If you call sitting inside a booth for 8 hours "working". However every now and then that mean old boss would make me go out to clean our pads (concrete). This consisted of basically taking kitty litter out...

Travis - As you and bmwpower already mentioned, it is going to vary from area to area. I'm in the Northeast so I know absolutely nothing about the Southwest. (That isn't going to stop me from weighing in however! :) ) The 2 biggest factors are going to be neighbors (Homeowner...

Oh, and our security system doesn't work I also have two mobile, tactile security systems installed.. Both utterly useless. They will activate at frequent intervals for what I think are squirrels farting 300ft away in the woods, but hide behind our legs when asked to help herd the errant pig...

Living in the country is rough Out where I live you have to keep the buildings locked, otherwise you'll find things IN them! I remember opening my barn door to find a couple of electric motors and a 5 HP gas engine that had seen better days. (We've also been known to make sneak attacks on...

I've heard in NYS that the new QuickLube joints can't do pits, but the definition of a pit doesn't exclude what amounts to a basement. One guy explained that since the pit had a seperate entrance/exit from the pit rather than straight up, it wasn't a pit. On the other hand, my gfather had one...

Good Bi-Monthly Magazine For the last year or so I've been picking up a little magazine (if you call it that) called ShopNotes. (www.shopnotes.com) I've been impressed enough that I finally went and became a subscriber. When I called to make sure that they didn't send me the most recent issue...
