It would be helpful to know what the ranking number represents. There's < one whole number between the worst and best listed. Seems almost irrelevant.

Depends on how, by whom and also WHERE the list was compiled. ;)

If it was titled "our favorites" rather then "the best" I'd be fine with it.


(my personal favorites are Japanese and Italian cuisine... and THANK GOODNESS I live in a place where I can eat pretty much anything I want!)

Allow me to explain. One of my first jobs on the west side of the mountains was setting manufactured homes. The truck would position the "heavy half" of a double wide home right where you wanted it. Then they would place the other half within 2' or so from it. You carry in concrete bases and blocks, jack up the heavy, and set it on blocks and remove the axles.
To move the other half over, we would set jacks just behind the axles with the head of the jack half on the frame. We also set the base of the jack on 2x6 blocking just about half on. You jacked it up, the tires would come off the ground and it would slide over about 6" at a go.
Now go back and watch the video. They used a couple of 20 tom bottle jacks and did just that. Note the tires are off the ground to start.

Kudos sky. This makes sense, but those tires look like they are on the ground and move up when he puts his back into it. I wish it were better res.

yup nope. it bounces just like I have done it many times. It is a rather creative fix to a sticky problem.

Got me thinking about those big security vault doors, also certain instrument mountings where a minimal amount of force is required to pivot or swing something huge and/or heavy but balanced.

The ingenuity builders resort to sometimes in need, especially with big damn equipment, always impressive. Then again, you guys are impressive when you're bored.
