Hey Jar - wondering if you can do me a favor? I just bought that lift. $1387 with tax and delivery using a 20% coupon. Upon delivery, the metal cover of the part listed in the manual as '1A Motor' on the oil tank/unit, was off and one of the two yellow wires disconnected. There are 3 places to...

I purposely didn't try to match my garage to the cars. At the time I had 2 maroon-ish red cars and I knew that would change over time (now have bright red, yellow and silver). I went with the black/white/red/gray since I figured those were classic racing colors. I will likely just order the...

FWIW - I did part of mine in black and white checkerboard. The white is shot after about 4 years. Hot tires, bad weather, whatever. There is irreversible color damage to the white. The good news is they are inexpensive and easy to replace. I will probably go with a different color - perhaps...

So I'm helping out a friend that is relocating to Hong Kong for a few years - he will be back in the states about once per quarter. I agreed to adopt his car so he doesnt have to sell it. To do so and not lose a parking spot or have to keep a car outside I am going to sell my kwik-lift (great...

Hi folks - quick question. Turning a spare space (20x12) in my basement into a hang-out/music room for my sons. I put down two coats of Lowe's Valspar semi-gloss on the smooth concrete floor just to make it uniform and clean looking. For fun I painted a large pattern on the floor - now I would...

thought this was very Ferrari-ish - even though I have no intention of ever owning one - and it doesn't match the colors of any of my cars.

off topic reply: yeah, we got them done just as your sobriety was about to expire

Well done - colors work great together. Post some "before" pics.

can I just replace the single bare bulb fixture with a fluorescent fixture directly (like I replaced all the ancient ugly fixtures in the rest of the house - or are the fluorescents made to plug into an outlet (such as they are now)? I'd rather not have the plug visible running to the outlet on...

Thanks for the help - I will replace both sides once I find a ladder tall enough to reach. Hey - WSSIX99 - I know you can dig - I was working on my 2002 Collector Edition Trans Am when the light above me starting smoking. The car's life flashed before my eyes.

mine is sort of like the difference between walking on a wood floor with sneakers or high heels (not that I wear high heels...anymore...since the therapy) - there's a difference in noise levels but you are not going to wake up anyone (unless maybe if they sleep in the garage). Plus, I would be...

Hoping to get some help from the experts. I have a two bay, two story garage attached to the house. Previous owner has 2-bulb fluorescents plugged into the socket adapters screwed into single bulb fixtures in the ceiling. How unsafe is that? I ask because working out there this weekend, I heard...

having just done a racedeck floor and obsessed about design - I'll offer some things I figured out that helped me - that it for what its worth. Simply put, I decided the best route was to design the floor as if the garage would always be empty. Tool boxes, decorations and even the cars you keep...

Then do it "Loud N Proud" baby - subtle ain't going to cut it in that snakepit I was thinking of splitting my garage in half and doing a color scheme to match the two cars (red and silver one one side and yellow and black on the other). And I don't mean just the racedeck - I mean like...

and the funniest thing is now that the floor is down, I don't want to park the daily driver on it if it is wet. So now you won't just obsess about the cars, now you can obsess about the floor in the garage as well. IMHO, I like the contrast of the black, white, red with the checkboard and...
