J King: What lift is that? Coopduc: full rise would be nice, but it would just smash my truck into the ceiling.

The VFR pictured above has the rear wheel entirely off the table. Would this not solve that problem. Of course it does add the issue that the table is too short and without a center stand you'd have trouble using it. Harder to tell exactly what's going on with the Harley, but it looks like...

Awesome!

I just bought a house with a three car tandem and I would love to put a small lift in the tandem space. I work on bikes as much as old cars and it seems like a flush mounted mid rise scissor lift would be ideal for both. Something like the BendPak MD-6XP. I could make an aluminum table top for...

I have always wanted a house on stilts :)

Yeah, I figured that might be the case, I found this helpful: http://fema.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=cbe088e7c8704464aa0fc34eb99e7f30&extent=-122.12849232682628,47.9035551779985,-122.09862324723565,47.9179379859768 The drive from the area doesn't sound too horrible though...

8930 Lowell-Snohomish River Rd, Snohomish, WA 98290 This one is appealing to us, might go look at it on Sunday. There's a bit of a train next door which I'm sure helps keep the price down a bit. Outside of King County, near water, room to put up a nice shop. I'd have to look more into...

What's wrong with a Subaru? I'd love to have a 2.5RS in the garage. I already drive a Prius, I know what's wrong with that.

I must admit that I'm confused at the price disparity that I seem to be seeing. The 400k number that I came up with did not come out of the blue, it was after looking at a good number of properties and doing some on site research. My wife spends a lot of time scouring real estate listings and we...

Thanks for all the responses. Microsoft is a tech company, but I'm a model maker, I work with hardware. It's hard to telecommute, but may be an option a little down the line. It sounds like I may be looking in the North Bend, Carnation area. I'll be in town next weekend and am meeting with a...

I know that it might make sense to rent for a while, but I must admit that I do bristle against that a little, just because the thought of throwing $1,500 out the window each month *****. We will have housing for a couple of months once the rest of my family moves out. So that will be our ideal...

Nice work on a tight space! And a flared Mk1 4runner?! Awesome! I really want to get myself a truck when I settle down out there. The dream would be an 85 single shortbed 4wd, and the Pacific North West seems to be full of them. I might have to come by for a visit when I get out there if...

There's truth in what you say for sure, but I find all places have their drawbacks. I like the weather in Texas, but the roads are trashed and boring. Texas definitely provides more quantity of riding days, the PNW provides more quality riding on the days that are good. I got the hell out of...

Awesome! Is that at a public school? I know she was worried that the WA schools didn't have art programs (maybe that we just the elementary) She has 11 years experience working and her masters in art education and special needs. She'll have to get re certified for WA. I will definitely be...

It will certainly be a search, but a lot of the leads we've found do look promising. For the 6 months that I will be living with my relatives I'll alternating between Fife and Ridgedale, so it sounds like I might be starting off with a worst case scenario. I tend to prefer my schedule shifted...
