Thanks everyone. And thank regguy, you answered my question exactly. I will update as soon as I have something to post.

That's my fear. How about using epoxy on the Wejit anchors and the setting them per the instructions (so they are nearly flush with the surface). This should provide double assurance that the anchors don't move when anchoring down the lift posts. Any drawbacks to this approach?

Well then, i think you're basically telling me to follow the directions. The problem is I did that last time and a few of the wejit anchors did not bite. I need a fool-proof method for making sure they work this time.

Do you mean to put a washer between the lift and the anchor so they cannot come proud of the surface?

Did a search but couldn't locate the an answer to my specific question. So I got my MaxJax about a year and a half ago and I was using it diligently. But because my garage is rather shallow I didn't have much choice where to locate it. I had to locate it near the relief cuts made in the slab...

Thanks Brian. Greatly appreciated.

Bump... any help/ideas for the concrete work in my future?

Not much progress to report as I was in Barcelona last week (great place!). When I got back, my neighbor noticed something that turned my stomach. Due to the small size of my garage, I had very little choice as to where to locate my MaxJax. I had to install them near a relief cut in the slab...

Is it too too tight to put in 2 15" batts?

I too used foam panels. I wasn't sure if I wanted them permanently, so I just used a 1"x strip of lathe to hold the panels in. This isn't the best pic, but you get the idea. I'm not sure how much the foil lining helps, but I certainly didn't want that look in my garage. The white foam blends...

I wouldn't say we've "automated" anything yet. The problem has always been keeping the mash tun at the desired temp. If you get it too hot, you get too much protein (I think). Too cold, you don't get much sugar extraction. We got it down to the point where we could manually control the mash...

Nice setup you have there. Wish I had as much space as you. My neighbor and I brew together (all grain), and he recently build a PID controller for our mash tun. We tested it the other day and it works pretty good. have some fine tuning to do, but then it should allow us to keep...

Actually, it's either the Tail of the Dragon or just near it.

Big progress over the weekend. Got the main wall painted and the cabinets in. I still have a ton of work to do on de-cluttering, but at least I now have a vision. Might need to get another cabinet or two, but not sure where to put them. I decided on a gray color for the main wall. It...

The wife suggested a light gray for the color. I think i have some in the basement I can throw on as a test. I got the corners painted last night after my son's band concert. No additional pics. I'm going to try and get the paint done tonight so i can buy/build cabinets tomorrow. I need to...
