I just installed a BP XPR10-A a couple of weeks ago. My floor is 4 inch, rebared at 2' and fiber meshed. I had saw cuts done the day after the pour. When I layed out my concrete I left 4'x4' areas at the 2 lift base points so I'd have 12" concrete with the rebar located just outboard of the...

Without any notice of change - I recieved an XPR-10A lift yesterday. I ordered an ACX lift but they are apparently discontinued and sold out. Nothing on the BP site about changes or upgrades of any kind. It appears to be convertible from narrow to wide stance and the top crossbar is...

I just pulled the trigger on a BP XPR-10ACX yesterday. Should be here Friday they tell me. Sure hope my experiance parallels yours.

Northern Tool sells the exact same 72" box with the "Torin" name on it for $2200 + shipping. Here's a link http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200343086_200343086

I just ran all of the WATER and AIR in my new shop with PEX cuz I already had it. The "Gator-Bites" made connections to copper for the air drops easy but not cheap. It's been sitting with 120psi on it for a week and no leaks anywhere but a bad sweat fitting. This was a test BTW. Nobody around...

Welcome to the board from an ol' Door County guy! I come back every couple of summers to get a new t shirt collection from Lambeau. GO PACK!!!:beer:

Stang - Check out the eBay listing by doing a search for "T5" in "eBay Home". The sellers name is "Jesse". He will respond to questions about quantity, brightness, and what will work best for your particular shop size and ceiling height. They come with tubes, chains and a 5 year warrenty but...

I don't recall anything mentioned about residential or commercial. The eBay listing had information about cost savings and such but I wanted the T5 light output and I'm not interested in how cheap they are to run. All I have out there right now for noise is a BOOMBOX but no interferance that...

I just finished lighting my new 40x60x16 with T5 six tube HiBay fixtures that I got from an eBay store. I put up 6 of 'em and they are great. The T5's use 54 watt tubes, come in a variety of brightness choices, use less power than sodiums and have a 5 year warrenty and a mirrored reflector. I...

Can I shield using EMT?

Anyone able to tell me how deep I need to run a conduit for a security alarm system to my shop? I have the ok to cover my 200ft power run but want to put the LV run above power about 12 inches. Can I get some guidance from any one here? Thanks in advance, Mac

What is the pro/con of copper feed vs. aluminum? I'm doing the same thing underground and other than the corrosion propensity of aluminum, its per foot cheaper, anything else to consider seeing I'm going 200 feet and cost isn't a show stopper?

Looks like a "Garage Town " unit ..... Nice !!

My guy just gave me a quote of $3.15 per sq. ft finished in a 40x60 ft shop. That's using 4k pound fibermeshed mud including prep and rebar.

Thanks for the comeback :thumbup: If you could do it over again, would you stick with the T5's?
