Today’s Lesson - Hit It With A Hammer
So I was checking out all these Fiero sites - that’s my new hobby - and I came across ‘10 Rules For Safe Lifting‘, at a place called ‘The Ogre’s Fiero Cave‘. There are some general tips to live by (If it doesn’t look safe, it probably isn’t. When it does look safe, check it again.) and some more specific guidelines (When stacking wood blocks, alternate the grain direction.) One final point on safety: check for rust on an intended jack point by hitting that spot with a hammer. This tests whether the area is getting weak or rusted/rotted on the other side. (Fieros are about 20 years old now …)
I found it all very interesting, but since I wouldn’t have any idea what to do underneath a Fiero, there is no reason for me to lift mine.
