Default 401/403

Just to be fair to Setright, because I thought my joke was a bit mean in retrospect - conventionally, mathematically, it's customary to round down below 0.5, so 152.4 becomes 152, but practically, rounding down is dangerous: a 403 won't go through a 152cm gap, however mathematically conventional the measure is. So LJKS made the right decision in rounding up, I think. Typically unconventional and perspicacious; just what I've always enjoyed in his writing.

Thank you Hugh Miller. You perhaps don't realise how significent your observation was. However it is the Length and height that are critical and I mean critical as the space I have available is exactly 16' long and the space under a four post lift is 5'2". Tight, isn't it?

Regards
