**** the texting - use the phone for talking - that's what it is for. many people do not text - one quick phone call will tell both parties if they are likely to be able to come to a deal

When I sell on CL, I clearly state "no texts will be answered". If somebody isn't willing to make the effort to make a phone call they are clearly not going to make the effort to actually show up and buy it. It is also a great way to screen who may be coming to your place - you can tell alot...

I have a Bendpak HD 9 recently installed. I just use a quick coupler for the air release and keep my shop air regulated to 100 psi - I'm not worried about lubricator - its not like those little plungers are really gonna get that much use. As far as width, the real thing to keep in mind is...

Bendpak sells a couple of different ones - one for $140 and one for $320. I figure I can make 2 for less than $100 in less than an hour. Just gonna use some 3 x 4 rectangular box section and put a piece of 1/4 in plate on top. I can always use a little welding practice anyways. If I start to...

well, there's always debate about 2 post vs 4 and each has its pro's and con's, but for me it came down to: 1- ease of install - no need to drill holes in slab or be concerned with structural integrity of the concrete 2 - mobility, can re-position it as needed depending on what I have going on...

Hey Guys - I'm mostly a lurker on here but thought I would give my experience with purchasing a new lift since that always seems to be a hot topic. Like many, I spent months scouring the web trying to decide which way to go : 2 post vs 4, China vs US, where the best deal, etc, etc. I ended up...

I get that - going up is one thing, but double or even triple in one year? and being turned down by 8 out of 10 companies for reasons that make no sense at all?:confused:

Richmond, Tx.........Fort Bend County

I assure you, you have the whole story. But you are right about one thing, the ins companies are looking for any reason they can find not to take any risk whatsoever. I have had several companies now say they are not offering any more coverage in this zip code. One agent looked it up and...

State Farm was the second highest quote I have received @ just over $3600/year.

good idea - just gave USAA a call. They will indeed work with me................................................................................................................... for $3700 a year :shocking: what a deal! they are now the highest quote I have received

I live near the Gulf Coast, in Fort Bend County, which is not actually a coastal county , but close (appx 75 miles) from the coast, so that explains the rate increase somewhat, but the metal building thing has me baffled. I never bring it up unless specifically asked.

zero, none,nada, zilch and my credit is in the top 1 %

Anybody had any problems getting/keeping your shop insured? When my previous insurance company increased my homeowners premium by over 100% without warning I started shopping for a new carrier. I have been turned down now by at least 2 companies just because I have separate metal building on...

Actually, I do like the look, but to be honest, it probably looks better in the pictures than real life. My comment about the rusty radiator water was really referring to when the stain was first put down and then allowed to dry. I was like holy **** - WTF have I just done? and as I mentioned...
