Price reduction

1997 Ford F150 flareside, 4x2 for sale or potentially a trade in north Alabama. Asking 3,000 USD or potentially I'd trade it for a crew cab pickup, SUV, or station wagon. I'd prefer cash but a half ton Ford or GM crewcab pickup or SUV or Volvo or Subaru station...

That's the size my father-in-law built. I would like to have gone bigger but I'm limited by the size of my yard and the septic drain field taking up the other side of it. Lovely weather we're having this week eh?

I got an airline kit from my father-in-law for my birthday. I ran a fixed one to the lift locks. It came with 3 manifolds, of which I've installed 2. One is near the front of the lift and the other is by the roll-up door. It's Kobalt brand. The manifolds are not very inspiring. It has a...

10' walls seem to be fine. Of course if I had more money I'd have gone taller and all kinds of other things but I have no regrets about the 10 footers. Large door is 16'x8' the small one is a roll-up 7'x7'.

I got a clock but I'm probably going to find a another one for the other end of the garage. I wanted one that doesn't tick and plugs into 120V. This is an old General Electric.

It took my father and me about 5 hours to get to this point. Totally doable with 2 people, 2 floor jacks with a 20" rise, and a northern tools furniture dolly.

It was $125 for 4 hours.

It wasn't like a car's clutch. Maybe it was hydrostatic? I could release it as fast as I wanted and couldn't stall it. I only used it for disconnecting the drive wheels so I could rev the motor to get more lifting power for the forks.

Installed some OSB for storage above the trusses. Also, put in the garage door light. Really just killing time waiting for... This to be delivered. It's only a rental for a couple of hours. It was completely necessary for... These. Bendpak HD-9XW with caster set

The forklift worked well. It was kinda goofy with the long runways of the lift hanging so far out in front. I think it was rated for 5000 pounds, or at least that's what the rental place told me.

Thanks everyone. I think the forklift is the best method for me. The lift should be here next week sometime. I'm getting the tracking info today.
