Measure 4ft or so along the wall and mark the height of your stripe. Mask it off along the wall using your marks as reference. I used blue 3m tape. My walls were white, so after I masked, I painted the stripe white (in between the tape) to seal the tape edges (I have osb walls). Then paint...

I had a 2500 suburban on my 120v worth this past weekend. No problems other than 60 seconds seems like forever when you are lifting to the top.

My crafty wife uses the pieces to make various odds and ends and sells them: picture frames, mail holders, storage crates, etc.

I have a converted boat trailer currently on my lift right now. It occupies the space until another toy needs it. The jack tray works great for the trailer jack. It is a light duty trailer that I can push on and off with much fuss. Your trailer may require more effort.

I went with osb and used the kilz white primer w/ a patriotic red/blue stripe to break it up a bit. the edges aren't perfect but not bad considering the osb texture. as far as masking goes, if you paint with the base color first to seal the tape, your lines will be much cleaner.

i used the ceramic fixtures in the middle and angled fixtures (outside light type) on the sides. it works great. i really only need 3 of the 9 depending on where i am working. it may not look the greatest but it was priced right...

the lift is solid and works great. maybe i ordered at a bad time. the latch mechanism circled in the picture did not ship sized right and i called several times to get a replacement but no luck. delivery time was also 1 month later than original scheduled. i ordered in mid march and did not...

they are priced right. I have one of their 4 posters. After my experience w/ my order being delayed without proper explanation, poopy instruction manual, poor fitting latch mechanism, and crappy support that never resolved the problem, I can not recommend them. Good luck if you proceed.

RE:american made lift Worth SP ET

i just purchased a WORTH 4post extended model for $3250 shipped to middle tn. it is made in Texas. you may want to check their site; it says that they have quit the business...

I used osb and 20gal of kilz white primer. my garage is 30x30 w/ a lot of celing. its all white now but i plan to two-tone sometime soon.

Hello all. Short time lurker and first time poster here. I was inspired by Veno and decided to try his solution in my new 30x30 garage. I went w/ 85w/300w CFLs from 1000bulbs and used standard edison fixtures from the home depot. I must say that I was impressed when I fired them up tonight...
