Just an update on the lawn mower attachment for a lift, Greg Smith appears to make one. It seems a bit expensive at $895. http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/Atlas-Lawn-Mower-Adapter-p/atlas-lma.htm

Hey Flathead, last Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) Harbor Freight had a sale on: US General Stainless Steel Roller Tool Chest $299.99 US General Stainless Steel Top Chest $249.99 U.S. General 26" 5-Drawer Rolling Tool Cabinet $199.99 U.S. General 26" 6-Drawer Tool Chest $99.99...

I think I'll take a look at that stainless 40" box, if I can find it for $400. I think I'm leaning more toward waiting and seeing if the black HF 42" tool chest goes on sale around Christmas.

See that's tough, since I could literally get 2 of the Craftsman sets for $500 (well, not including tax). I guess that doesn't make them function better, though. We don't have Menards down here. My current set up are (gulp) shelves and a 300+ craftsman mechanics toolset. I've never really had...

That Challenger is absolutely gorgeous!

Hey, this Craftsman ball bearing tool chest is on sale: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_009H0367000B?keyword=Craftsman+10+Drawer%2C+26+in.+Combo This combo comes with a 26" wide 6 drawer ball-bearing chest and a 26.5" wide 4 drawer ball-bearing roll-away. The roll-away has 4" casters...

Still waiting for the pics of the SS tables. 95possom, could I get a few more pics of the ****** table (i.e. I'm thinking I'd like to reproduce that)? That's AWESOME.

those mohawk attachments are pretty cool, gives me some ideas.

6t7gto and rjspitz, where are the pics? You're killing me. I gotta see these. I want'em.

This is the time to do an addition and get that lift, IMHO. Make sure you get everything in writing from the contractor and don't avoid the building inspector. I realize most people know and say that, but times are really tough recently and the contractors will turn on you on a dime. I...

Hey, my lift was a bit more than I wanted to spend - about $3550 installed. The installation was about $450. I checked around and could have gotten the same lift from Metro Lifts (in Alabama, they were really cool on the phone but couldn't find a good installer in my area) for $2615 (minimum...

Hey E-tek, thanks for the comments. The subpanel for the electrical is on the house side of the garage and the lift bay is the furtherest bay from the house. There's conduit in the ceiling to where it comes to the junction box, where the safety switch is tied into the 220 wires. They used...

Final thoughts? The lift is great. Structurally, it seems a lot thicker and heavier than the Rotary lifts up at the Auto Super Service Center down the street. That's just based on appearance, I'm sure Rotary makes a good lift. It lifts all my vehicles with ease, no hessitations, no problems...

So, here are some pictures of the lift in action. I had some brake work to do on the SUV and since the vehicle weighs 6600 lbs, it was a good test for the lift. And here's a picture of the garage from the outside.

Once they had the posts anchored they ran the cables, hydraulics, and put the arms on. These guys worked constantly for about 4 hours or so, but they were very thorough. The final install looked like this: Which left getting the 30amp 220v ran by the electricians. Unfortunately, that...
