Garage Pits

[Richard Burger <MAINELY_MG@delphi.com>]

I am here to sheepishly admit that we do have a pit in our new
garage.  Before the imperiled firemans association finds MAine allow
me to explain.  We built the garage on pressure treated posts.  The
wood floor is fully 24" above ground level and the wind is free
to move at will under and around.  We can sit under cars and work.
Sometimes we sit under cars and wait for someone to move it so we
can get out...now again! no panic please!  We could crawl out in any of three 
directions.   Now in my thinking the safety of having these vehicles
firmly on their wheels supercedes whatever dangers our set-up
might have.  We also get to have a nice little down draft
fab in our paint area.  The pit is generally covered but I will
do the right thing and nail the cover in place permanently.
On second thot, as a Democrat, I think those republicans who
just took over have promised no more Government meddling.
Maybe I'll wait.  Oh yeah fab is fan.
