    Wiring a Bendpak series HD-9 series lift

    While I only have the 110V, I had a box mounted to the ceiling, then armor flex cable dropped down with an metal outlet box on the end of it. I then velcro the box to the post with the motor. I unplug it after every use to ensure no one moved the lift of the locks.

    Airless sprayer for painting garage

    I rented one from HD and it did a great job. Everything must be covered to avoid overspray. The only issue I had was semi gloss over white prime, I could not always tell where I painted / missed and sagged a few places, but nothing too noticeable. I think it cost me $75 to rent for the day, and...

    cabinet handle idea

    I saw this on a TV show....go to Harbor Freight and buy some cheap open end wrenches and weld some nuts on them, or drill holes through them, place a spacer behind and a bolt through them. Very cheap, very cool.
