I was just joking, but thanks for the useful info anyway.
I have a feeling that still wouldn’t fix your problem of being unable to hoist it in your house.
But would it just be better anyway, to have a workshop that can be shared, rather than everyone with a big vehicle having to keep one in their house?
My main reason for maintaining my cycle myself is because, all shops I see providing cycle maintenance just don't meet my quality requirements no matter what they charge. Meaning that, I as an amateur, am able to make the components work better for longer than those claimed professionals.
Is it really that bad in your area for truck servicing?
Are all independent repair shops that bad?
It is occurring to me that I'm on my own. Everyone else is some combination of incompetent or malicious. There are no jobs worth applying for because none pay a worthwhile wage, there's not a doctor that won't injure you or a mechanic that won't break as much as they fix. What I can't make for myself from scratch is inevitably going to go wrong.
I need to move to a Unabomber cabin up in the woods, grow one of those hideous beards and chop firewood.
