I’m for option 1. That’s the same spot my hoist is. The problem with planning to have a long term project on the hoist is that it’s on the hoist when you need the hoist for other things. Such as tire changes, etc. If you have the hoist at the front it’ll always be clear or at least you’ll...

It also makes it easier to kick the boards off and walk through the fence……… Jon h.

When I was in the military we used to dig a hole to put them in. Only takes a few minutes. Worked great. I’ve done it before while camping. Of course it all depends on where ya are. Regards’ Jon h.

I replaced 2 older snap-on dead blows that did the same thing……. Regards, Jon h.

Everything that is built outside of the US is metric. Unless it’s older stuff, when,? It depends on the country when metric was adopted as the official measure. Jon h.

I have 14’ ceilings and the hatch is about 2’x2’ with a piece of 1/2” plywood with a few pieces of ridged styrofoam glued to it that I just push up into the attic. It’s pretty easy to move into place when accessing the attic. I then pull it back with me as I descend the ladder. No worries. Jon h.

I got mine through my dealer. I’ve never noticed drawers on the website. Regards, Jon h.

The new boxes allow you to re-arrange the drawers. So you should be GTG with two small drawers. One thing you can’t do is use the better KRL slides on a KRA box. Although KRL slides will fit on a KRA drawer it ends up make the whole assembly to wide and it won’t fit back in. I tried it……

Place light fixtures on the wall too. When you have your car on the hoist it block the light from above. It will also create less shadows. Jon h.

A few months ago I got a 4 drawer set W/ misc hardware on FB marketplace for $80 CND. Smoking deal. I always keep my eyes out on the used market because new they are way too expensive. They do come up quite often. The key though is getting the cabinet. I had a few boxes stacked for a...

I have a 12’ step ladder that use. Works great for the once every few years I might have to go up there. Jon h.

I did this with a beer keg and an old block and tackle I picked up on the side of the road…..it hangs over my poker table. Jon h.

Personally I wouldn’t worry about it. But what about lifting it just enough to slide shingle material under it? About 1/4”…..I seem to remember seeing rolls of shingle about 6”-8” wide x number of feet long? I could be wrong on that. Or just get a couple bundles of 3 tabs. Jon h.

I absolutely love it when I have all the hardware/material on hand when I’m doing a project. It almost makes it seem like the project cost nothing. Jon h.

Short answer. No. Use a proper stove. Don’t go electric either. They don’t get nearly hot enough. All the electric ones I’ve been in only get to between 80-90c (176-194F). There may be ones that will get a room hotter. But electric is better than nothing and a new person that doesn’t have...
