in my parking area, I have a small retaining wall that drops down about a foot to the lawn below.

I had an stroke of genius/madness yesterday while at the lumber store looking to buy lumber to make ramps, cribs, etc in prep for "the fuel tank wrasslin match"

if I build up two stacks of 2x8s the distance of the wheels apart, tall enough to equal the height of the wall, with one long board as a transfer, I would in effect have a pit that I could drive onto, and work under.

If long enough, (about 2 feet in front of the mid wheel, or roughly 9 feet back from this spot) I would be able to drop the tanks from under there, and I could drive the front onto it too.

is this utterly stupid, or am i onto something here?

I wont tell you what my wife said.
