    Off Grid Well - Options?

    Lots of great replies in this thread. My personal experience says that you need to think of future buyers when you go to sell. Finance companies likely will not finance without grid tied power which will cut down your pool of buyers. Just something to think about

    Should I go Hilti or Dewalt?

    Hilti warranty is amazing if that is something that interests you. My father in law was changing a hydraulic ram on a john deere 410 rubber tire backhoe. When he was done he accidentally ran over his hilti impact crushing it. The impact was out of warranty, hilti told him to send it in anyway...

    RaceDeck has got Wood

    The way it lays it looks chopped up from the pattern suddenly ending and restarting. Is this an inexperienced installer or just how it lays? I like it for the most part.

    What new tools or equipment did Santa bring for you.

    Got a new fleck water softener for the house and garage. Now my cars can bathe in soft water instead of the terribly hard junk we had before.

    echo leaf blowers

    Echo makes some great products still but if you really want to up your game give redmax a try. The Komatsu Zenoah engines are awesome and super reliable. I have always had trouble with stihl power products even the chainsaws. My bg55 did everything but blow air due to hitting its stupid...

    My Garage Build thread

    Smart move on the tractor. I myself have a bobcat and dont know what I would do without it. More than likely you wont sell it because they are just so darn handy to have around. I used to run equipment for a living so I know first hand how expensive hiring it out or even renting equipment can...

    Two post or Scissor?

    keperkey when I recess my mohawk I am going to recess a lip around the outermost edge so a flat steel plate will sit flush when not in use. It will take seriously close measurements because the lift will need to support the center of the plate when down so it could be driven over. I plan on...

    Two post or Scissor?

    I have the mohawk full rise scissor lift and let me tell you it has impressed me. I have 10ft ceilings and can raise most cars to full lift. Once i recess it into the floor it will be the best choice for my space 22x20x10 as right now i trip over it. This lift has many different mount points and...
