Awesome build and I'm using your great pics as a guide to do my own flush mount of an SP-7X. One question that's not clear to me on the SP-7X flush mount plans: The Bendpak plan shows the distance as 2-5/8", but from the pictures below, it looks like some folks are going further back. Not...

MDS-6KF and SP-7XF going to 20854. Thanks!

Good deal - Thanks.

I'm hanging a couple 30" cabinets above my Gladiator workbench and don't want the GearTrack to extend so far outside each cabinet - to the right and left. I was wondering if I could cut off 6-8" on each side so there wouldn't be as much exposed - maybe a 1" reveal or possibly conceal behind the...

Thanks for the excellent feedback. I wasn't sure if the slab was "structural", connected to the footers, and would cause problems with the house. Appreciate the advice on mudjacking - especially where the amount to raise is minimal (i.e., 3/8"). The holes in the slab created by the mudjacking...

Yes - This is the garage in my home. Assume it has the normal slope to help water drain whenever you wash the garage floor (I think it's 1/8" per foot - does that sound right?). Anyway, I've been here 26 years and haven't washed it yet. (Not proud of that). I'm just wondering if it's worth...

Good info. Thank you. Think your spot on with this being a problem from the original installer of the concrete not compacting the sub base enough. Was OK for years, but live in the house long enough and these original flaws begin to show up. Can you elaborate on the "surface water"? Not...

I thought the same thing, but looks like there is no erosion around that part of the house. The only thing nearby the foundation is some landscaping that has become overgrown over the years I've lived here. Could the roots of the landscaping be messing with slab? Could it cause a drop? Been...

Thanks. Here is another pic. Looks like about 3/8" drop at this point. Would this indicate that I have a floating slab - i.e., one that is detached from the footers for the house? You can kind of see the edge of the slab in this picture -- and looks like the wood plates for the wall are not...

Moved some racks in the garage today and notice that my garage slab has cracked/settled. This is in the far corner, away from the house. The wall looks OK, so maybe it is a floating slab and there is settlement underneath. You can see how the slab has now dropped (maybe 1/4"?), using the...
