Trying to do my Part as a Good Neighbor


When we were moving to the loft, I debated on what things I should bring.

Tools are one of those things that are great when you are using them, but then sit around and take up space in the meantime. I'm glad I have them - they've proven invaluable for the projects I've completed - but I often think I could get more utility out of them through sharing with the neighbors.

If you need a tool for one project, but don't feel like buying it and storing it, give me a call.

Some specific things I think my be beneficial to my neighbors here in the Motor Lofts community are:

  • A dolly - (see photo) for carrying heavy objects to your loft. Add some ratchet straps to secure your cargo to the dolly and you can move mountains.
  • An air compressor - Need to fill your tires on your car, scooter, or bike?
  • Ladder
  • Things you might use once in a blue moon - chisel, rubber mallet, hack saw

call @ 621-4028, email me through the info. on my profile

Chris, I could not agree more. I also have tools I will gladly loan to my neighbors. They include a collapsible dolly, a ladder, cordless drill with a laser level (not sure how to use this, but I have it) and lots of tools. I also have a trailer hitch that does not work on my Solara. I spent most of last year working in SD on farms so I have a lot of tools and miscellaneous stuff that is not necessary in the city, but could be useful. The dolly is in the garage on the silver shelf across from the elevator in my parking spot. Help yourself if you need it.
Also, if anyone has a passion for hanging big, heavy mirrors, I could use some help. I did this by myself, and well, it is not a pretty sight.....way too high and too heavy for me to take down and redo.
Thanks!

I have some time on my hands until the end of summer, so tell me if you need help.
