I'm still recovering from my illness from a year ago, but am slowly improving all the time. I did have the contents of six storage units moved into the workshop to save some money while I'm out, but I also had the two-post and four-post lifts installed. The upstairs office/lounge area remains...

Health UPDATE: I'm walking around on a walker, on track for full recovery by Christmas -- assuming I don't fall and break something, but I'm being very careful.

Not at all.

Attach them to the wall with French cleats. The will all be level and square and be easy to move later on. Clean underneath with compressed air or a leaf blower..

Read the minutes of the last few HOA meetings. That should clue you in to who the asshats are, if any.

As you can see, there is no bridging between the second-floor joists and the floor above is a double layer of plywood. Should I be concerned? Should I add bridging? Or maybe something like a purlin running perpendicular to the joists? Or do nothing?

The four-post lift was installed at the back of the shop and the '36 Auburn Boattail Speedster put up top and the '39 Plymouth Phaeton stored underneath. That's a 2008 Kikker 5150 in the foreground. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` The last two to go in were a '60 and...

They are cheap here on FB Marketplace, about $600. Super easy to install, many YouTube videos available. When I finish with mine (when I'm better), I'll post a HOWTO providing details.

I have not posted in a while due to illness. Pancreatitis put me in the hospital in May. I was sick several months before that and lost 70 pounds inclusing muscle. Long story short, I just got home yesterday from rehab and still have maybe 3 months to go before I am healthy again, walking around...

It was expensive for me because my location is in an industrial park. As well, there were more stairs 17 versus 11 to 14 in a residence (because of the 10-foot ceilings). It took an extra 8-foot section of track at $500+ just for that.

Worked on getting an Acorn stair lift installed. Once I set the chair on the track, I needed to move it out about an inch. I left the battery on charge..

In working on #51 in May. We both did well.

$8k is how much they wanted to install a new one in a commercial building. I purchased two used ones for $1200. I needed two because of the stair length. Most residences are 11 to 14 steps; mine is 17 steps, so I needed an additional track. The bare track was $500 without the geared rack and...

I'm still moving into my new place. I need to get this side organized so I can install the lifts.
