Then take the other end and tie it to the beam keeping the rope as tight as possibly. Once you are happy with it all let the car down BUT ONLY SLOWLY and once the rope is nice and tight stop lowering it and try to gently pry it off gently this should hopefully stop you marking any of the mating faces.HTH |
Rented Compton-style garage... pretty flimsy, so wouldn't trust the roof beams. Not a bad idea though. Will give it one last go with a selection of screwdrivers and hammers.
