Great to see a local build! My cottage is on the Upper Rideau near the Narrows!

Nice, thanks, were the arms pretty stretched out? Think a wider car would fit ?

Bringing this thread back! About to get the Maxjax and am contemplating post spacing, seeing if I can get away with one position. These are the main vehicles that will be lifted. -Miata -s2000 -Volvo V70 -Mini Cooper S -E36 M3 Thinking 126"? Anyone have experience lifting with these cars...

Yup converting it from street/track duty to strictly track machine. Big honking turbo is stopping me from any spec racing. She's pushing about 265whp right now...

Hmmm...seems a short drive over the border to Watertown is in order... Got a couple of questions regarding my application. 1. Garage is about 700 sq. feet, should one full kit and one half kit do it? The Lowes should be able to order a half kit right? 2. My garage floor is about a year old...

Here's mine...still a work in progress on the finishing touches.

Same here. I use Tapatalk exlcusively for surfing forums kn my mobile...works great.

Well then sir, you have good taste. I just picked up an original with pony leather. Needs a little TLC on the metal but it was a steal.

Beautiful! Love the SLs!

New concrete slab overlay and pads are done! They did a great job. Polished 5 times then two coats of 100% solids acrylic sealer.

New sheathing and house wrap. Also installed the new windows and man door, and the flashing and siding were started. Congrete guy came in to secure the mesh as it will be in Friday. 2-3" bonded overlay with 5000psi and two 3x3 foot pads. Happy everything is coming together!! :rocker:

Been a busy few weeks. -Roof was completely removed (2 layers of shingles + plywood) and replaced. Also had vents added. -Siding, soffits, and sheathing were ripped off. -Man door that used to be in front was covered and framed-in. -Rough-in for larger 3x4' windows and new side man door done.

Hey Dan, Good call on the pads. So basically cut two sections out (4'x4'?) before the overlay, dig it down, rebar, put in new subgrade so that pad will be at least 8 inches deep?

Funny you should mention that. Had a fresh look at it and really, it isn't that bad. Was poured in 1971. There is really only one soft spot near the door , no frost heaving or shifting. The few cracks are surface. Had a well known local concrete guy come in this morning and he said the slab is...

Thanks Ddawg, yeah other than the car, don't have too much pity...:) Obviously the most important thing is that no one was hurt. Phil
