Christmas came late this year
Christmas was a little late. Rudolf had a serious discussion with Santa and told him that no way was a two post lift going to fit in his sack, not to mention hauling his fat **** with an extra 1200# in the sleigh. Just wasn't going to make it up to the roof top, and he said the fireplace insert was definitely going to cause problems. So it came truck freight from the north pole, which takes awhile on the snow and ice. But it finally arrived and necessitated a massive shop clean up. Took two loads to the scrap yard and one to the dump. Found the floor and realized that the San Andreas fault does not go through San Francisco, but is really in my shop floor. Going to have to do a little work on that I think. My kid doesn't realize it, but he is going to help me raise the pillars Sunday (before we work on his Jeep)

VERY nice!
I'll be over in the morning to help you install it. Then we can get my 96 up there and replace some brake lines!

I, too wish I had one if not in my shop on the concrete apron outside my shop. I think I am too old to keep doing work without one, yet too old to get much use out of it.
Or as much use as I would like........always a conundrum!
Congrats, btw!
