Figured I would come back and update this thread. I did finish restoring the list. Hindsight I would recommend buying one in better shape, but what I did works if you don't value your time:) Here are some pics and a video I put together showing how it progressed. Before: After...

I've been taking some videos on my phone. I'll share a video when I'm done. But the first ramp is out and in my garage. Second ramp is coming out tomorrow. All the rust came off. It doesn't magically remove the rust from the part. Its still in place, but is loose. I probably could have pressure...

The excessive amperage seems to be related to one of the sacrifice pieces I had made for the underside. If I remove the one on the bottom it drops back down to 20-22 amps. Removing the one on the top made zero difference. So I have the bad one bypassed right now. Maybe my wiring isn't making a...

So a little update. I cleaned all the sacrificial metal tonight. It was pretty bad and its starting to pit. I had it running but just turned it off. The amp gauge on my charger is showing 32 amps now even though it's set on 2 Amps. It was around 14 amps one night, then 25 the next, and now 32. I...

I'm not too active on the forum. I rarely post, but I do browse it. I thought I had posted about my garage build here, but I guess not. I made a page on my website about it: https://802projects.com/garage.php Here are some more pics. This is what the water currently looks like: Here is what...

I think this tarp was 12 mil thick. It was the Extreme tarp. $30 for a 12x20 minus 20% off coupon. I'm hoping it will take a week per ramp. I can already see some clean areas on the top if I scrap the rust away with a stick. I'm wondering how the inside is going though. I read something about it...

A local shop listed their 4 post Rotary Alignment rack for sale. It had air jacks and came with a Hunter 511 alignment machine. It was a little rustier than I wanted, but I had been looking for a 4 post lift for a few years now (actually missed out on 2 others). I pulled the trigger thinking I'd...

Circling back to this issue as I'm starting to work more on the garage now that spring is coming. GBA said I would be fine using 2" unfaced as a backing. Just assuming it's $34 a sheet this would $1088 worth of foam I would need to buy and install. If I went with 1.5"x2" furring I'd have around...

Thanks for the replies so far. I did some research on the mooney wall. I really don't want to use blow in insulation anywhere. The garage will be heated in the winter. The downstairs will be set around 50 degrees and I'll turn it up when I'm out there. The upstairs won't be heated unless I open...

I just finished building and siding my garage. I live in Vermont so it can get pretty cold up here. It's 64x40x12.5 with a 64x18x8 storage area above that I am going to use as a wood shop/storage area. I plan on using a Modine 200,000 or 250,000 btu heater downstairs. I want to insulate the...

Has anyone done this? I'm building a 40x64 garage out back right now. It will have a 64x18x8 storage area up top. I'll have stair access from the inside but I'm thinking that if I want to get larger items up there (ie a canoe) it would be nice to have a side entrance from the outside. I could...

Hi my name is Charlie. I'm currently building a 64x40 garage for my car/woodworking hobbies. I've built a few canoes and a kayak, poker tables etc... For cars I like the 90's era. I have a bunch of my projects documented on my website 802projects.com Anyways they just started on the foundation...
