<DIV class=plainMail>Hi BSCC-ers,<BR><BR>I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.....<BR><BR>Does anyone have a shop crane or some type of device that will fit <BR>through a basement door (an average-sized people-door) that can be used <BR>to hoist a 300 lb Corvair engine up onto a work bench? I can buy one, <BR>but I am already spending a lot on tools and have yet to begin spending <BR>money on parts and I wish to keep my marriage intact; plus, I would then <BR>need to find space in my basement to store it.<BR><BR>I've considered building myself a temporary wooden gantry and using a <BR>block and tackle, which is probably what I'll do if nobody has a crane I <BR>can borrow. But I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. :)<BR><BR>Thanks!<BR>Karl<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>This message was sent by the BSC-list mailing list, all copyrights are the property<BR>of the writer, please attribute properly.
