If I had the room & money I would go for a lift. Right now I can barely squeeze both cars in the garage. The lift would make it a one car garage. The pit functions and little upkeep.
Scary pic. was it a stuck bolt and the use of a cheater bar that brought it done?

pits are dangerous as they collect fumes and can kill you.

I've had two homes with pit over the years.
What I dont like Humidity/coldness (depending upon weather) Dampness Spiders climbing in and out resticted space especillay if your working with a friend removing and replacing the wooden boards each time leaving tools down there that i cant find when I need them quick What i like feel more secure I can hide from the wife/kids dont have to climb up (as in a lift situation) to get into the cab when working on the car eg "hey honey...can you just climb up this ladder for a moment and check this for me...." Overall, I'd get a a lift, but a pit is handy if you can't get a lift.

Tim - your two car garage would become a two car garage again with a lift

Well that a pretty stupid safety standard -- whether you "know" anyone who died in an accident of a certain type. But, hey, be my guest.

Well there are some fairly strong views on that......I mentioned,in passing, tomy wife that I will not put the pit in ( mumbled voice )
Me...."I will get a lift" wife...OK Me...."because I posted on the web and all these guys said I should lift" wife...OK Me.."I will have it for a long time and I can always take it when we move" wife....OK pause........ Me ...OK |
