I really appreciate everyone's input and ideas. I think just talking about this and hearing you all out, I have come up with a plan of how I "may or may not" do something with what I have on my property. At the end of the day, I don't "need" the well. My thought was that if I could come up...

Thank you to everyone for your replies. So a couple of things to clear up. I am assuming the well was drilled 50 years ago when the house was built. And yes, Micromind, I belive you to be correct. The city ran water out beyond city limits and hooked everyone up. Thus just abandoning this...

So I need some help. We recently bought a house in northwestern Alabama that is hooked up to city water. But in the middle of the front yard is the original well pipe sticking up put of the ground. It is a 6" steel pipe well. It was open when we bought the place but I have since put a cap...

I've dealt with installing a handful of 2 post lifts in my own shop as well as home garages. I've always been told a good rule of thumb is 13 feet from the back wall to the back of the post on an assemetrical lift. I'd say you want a min of 36" from the side wall. Any tighter and it gets hard...

I'd say so. We just did our 1800 sqft floor with the Armorpoxy 3 layer system. Clear coat went on last night. I'd say the floor looks good to go. If you are not in a warm climate and can open the doors while doing it buy a mask. Trust me! LOL I'm excited to get home and see how the final...

Thanks guys, I'll be working on getting pictures together of the complete garage build. I have never done anything like this before so I just jumped in and figured things out as we went. Its basically been a weekend project for the wife and myself. We had the slab poured on 6-17-15 and have...

Been here for a while enjoying the posts and great ideas. I'm from MN just north of the twin cities. We bought 2.5 acres last year, Brand new home and in June started building a 32x56 Stick built garage behind the house. Getting very close to the finishing touches so hopefully in the next...
