    Pool construction in MN

    @mike93lx is correct with troublefreepool being the best pool resource, specifically the Under Construction subforum. We just finished our pool here in Vegas last summer, and we're just now finishing the landscaping aroudnd it. We dug it, did the electrical and plumbing, but hired out the...

    Forced to buy 4 Post Lift. How bad is it?

    I see where you're coming from, but I think it has to do with the type of vehicle you're working on. My lift is an extra tall. I'm 5'11", and when it's all the way up, I can walk under the ramps with about 8" to spare. The issue is, when you have a truck on it for an oil change, for example...

    Forced to buy 4 Post Lift. How bad is it?

    See, this is where I disagree. I currently have a 2 post and a 4 post. I always used the 4 post for storage, but two weeks ago I decided to do oil changes on my truck and wifes car on the same day with it. With a two post, you bend down to adjust the arms once. With a four post, every time...

    Mildew smell when I turn on the faucet

    If you don't use the faucet very often, I don't think it matters the kitchen sink is right behind it. Even if the hose is only a few feet home run to the utility sink, if that water stagnates in there, it has a chance to smell. I've noticed that before. Its even worse in a boat or RV...

    Two post lift concrete mistake

    If I had extra depth, I'd take advantage and use 8" long all thread with epoxy. Now you're using the whole thickness instead of the mechanical anchors in the top half of the slap. I feel like that would make up for lack of rebar.

    A friendly reminder to disconnect the battery before welding on a vehicle

    Copy, thank you. Yes, the ECU was indeed fried. I drove the vehicle in, welded, and then it never ran right after. The welding was the only variable. New ECU had no issues. Whether there was some other coincidence that happened during that time to damage my ECU I guess I'll never know, but...

    A friendly reminder to disconnect the battery before welding on a vehicle

    These are the three pages showing ground points on this vehicle. You're telling me I need to disconnect all 18 ground points to not zap anything in the future?

    A friendly reminder to disconnect the battery before welding on a vehicle

    My work clamp was about 6" from the tack welds. Bracket being welded was in driver kick panel. ECU is behind glove box.

    A friendly reminder to disconnect the battery before welding on a vehicle

    2008 Tundra Do you have any data to back up its just a myth? It seems to be pretty widespread information that is correct procedure, so I'm curious who and how that information is not correct. Thanks

    A friendly reminder to disconnect the battery before welding on a vehicle

    I never thought it would happen to me, but it did. I fried my ECU. Four tack welds about 6" away from the ground clamp. The car would barely start and rough idle. I've always read and heard you should disconnect, but I've never bothered and never had an issue until now. Fortunately I was...

    Bridge Crane

    I built a rolling bridge crane using my 10k 2 post lift as two of the legs. I used 6x6 posts on the other end for legs. For the beams on top, I have 13" H beams. The structure against the wall is bolted to the wall and bolted to the floor. It spans about 18ft long and 13' wide, and is about...
