Yeah,

“My parent’s drug me out to Crestview and all I got was this lousy bib”

Of course it also has to come pre-stained with not only sweat, but drool as well.

Think about it on a smaller scale. A car engine is supported by liquid filled rubber insulators to minimize vibrations and in comparison that’s a really small engine. I’d bet that when a hoist was turning you could feel the vibrations in the ground.

Well, the hoists did sit on giant, very solid stone foundations, probably to support all of that… and the second wall probably served to protect the much more fragile upper part of the structure — the steel and siding (or wood) that Mike mentions. That’s my guess, anyhow.

I think if it caused so much vibration to damage the building, what about the hoist itself. They would be spending all the time fixing the darn thing, not going to make much if the hoist is broke.
