So this is my experience, but before I begin… I was a military logistician for more than 30 years, I have packed, shipped, unpacked and done it over and over again for probably 100 20ft shipping containers by this point! (Note to self… should have kept track) I have closed down 4 different bases...

(HMMMMM.... My pic isn't attaching...Stand by) While not a direct answer to your question sharing a different method. I took angle iron and built/welded cradles for my cabinets to sit it. It provided more surface area to support the base and caster mounting. I made about 6 of these frames...

like others said... absolutely interested and LOVE reading the updates. So impressed with the level of thought you put into EVERY detail. And as a relatively new golfer with very low garage ceilings... I have yet another reason to be jealous!!! Keep the updates coming.

I have something similar. Mine is actually a 2 piece tool that I was told was for mounting old tires, possibly the old split rims with a locking ring. The second part was narrower, and flatter with grooves that went into the groves on the claw and then fit between the 2 claws and it was like a...

I have a 725 that fits the SWAG, from our pictures they look pretty darn similar. Have you reached out to SAWG?

Great! Reading this about an hour after my first on line Home Depot order ever! ****!!! I should have just taken the ride! Fingers crossed I have slightly better luck than all of you.

Like someone else mentioned I have used a similar pipe for yard tools. Mine was like a 12" or 14" PVC. I mounted a few sections of it to the wall and put brooms, squeegee, large pry bars and similar stuff in them. Works perfect, and since they are off the ground I don't have a black hole to...

If you have the materials and skills I would do angle iron over wood. I made one out of larger (maybe 2x2 angle, could be 3x3) and its held tons of tires for about 20 years now. sorry no pics, but its really just a big rectangular box with 3 levels of tire storage. For my softer stuff like...

Sorry I don't have a picture to post but I used 2ea sections of green PVC pipe with a 14"-16" Inner Diameter (Not a typo, these are huge ID) that are approximately 14" to 20" long. I have seen this kind of PVC pipe used for industrial size (aircraft hangar size) buildings storm drains and...

I had used them for a work project back in 2010 or 2012. From what I recall the recessed outlets were like 10 or 20 TIMES the cost of a regular outlet. These were approved for wet areas. If there is no other option, or you really want to go with in floor, and don't mind spending the big bucks...

Other then this video I have no experience with either method, but these guys are from the northeast, where we deal with the deep freeze for months on end. Frozen pipes starts at the 6:12 mark. Good luck to all of you guys dealing with the freeze.

Lots of variety built into my primary and back up plans. 500 gallon propane tank for primary heat, hot water, stove, oven, and propane fire place. Backup generator W/Transfer Switch that powers the essential circuits (Furnace, refrigerator, freezers, microwave, many outlets) City water...

Audi has a specific slot, not necessarily the pinch weld. https://www.powerflexusa.com/shop/product/pf3-1660-audi-jack-pad-adapter-3802...

Sorry I don’t have pics available right now. I will try to explain it. I have a piece of aluminum “C” Channel. I bolted the flat side (back) to a stud on a slight, maybe 5 or 10 degree angle that tools with handles hang on.(Snow shovels…) For items without handles (brooms, pinch bars, other...

Not an electrician here... But had one of these installed at my last house by a licensed electrician and used it for several storms. I had the standard Craftsman 6K generator every store sells. The way I described it was that "I could use anything in the house, but I couldn't use everything in...
