    Rain chains

    We had 6" of snow last winter and the chain froze solid. Didn't seem to hurt anything. We have 2 16' chains in the back of our house and I was concerned about the weight. Hasn't been a problem in 10 months.

    Rain chains

    We replaced our downspout with a rain chain. It drains into a catch basin. It has worked great for us.

    Shop air lines

    I used Pex-AL-Pex in my shop. Bought a roll online. The only issue was trying to straighten it out to install in on the wall.

    I just finished plumbing my shop and I used Pex-AL-Pex. 3/4" for all the runs. The hardest part was straighten the coil before the install.

    Recommendation for a waste oil drain tank and high lift jack stand?

    Add me to the HF drain. I also have a couple of the HF high stands. Both have worked fine.

    Hobbiest CNCs

    I have the Avid Pro4848. It's sold as a kit and it took a couple of days to put it together. I stepped up to the spindle. Not the cheapest way to go but it seems to be very rigid and can handle higher feed rates. I didn't want to buy or build a machine twice. I've been using it for 6 months...

    John Deere Plastic Hood.

    Find a lawn mower repair shop and see if they have a broken mower that is not worth fixing and buy the hood. They sold a huge number of these mowers and I'm sure there are lots of them around that could be used for parts. If you can't find one use it without the hood.

    Choosing a 2 post lift. One size fits all?

    I have a BendPak xpr-10as set up wide and it has lifted everything I own from my 1/2 ton extended cab pick up to my daughter's 2010 Honda Fit. I have to admit the Fit was a little concerning trying to get it balanced on the lift. Really short and a lot of weight on the front.

    Installing a 2 post lift on an epoxy covered garage floor?

    I had a 2 post bendpak lift installed on my epoxy floor and it has been fine. The floor installer told me he like to put the floor down before a lift. To hard to cut around the lift and he thought it looked better. The lift installers didn't need to use an shim to level the lift so it is...
