    Moving vehicles and utility trailer about property - how best?

    I missed the moving a vehicle part. It would definitely not work to tow a car.

    Moving vehicles and utility trailer about property - how best?

    I recently bought one of these for jockeying my trailers around - 18' open car trailer, 20' enclosed trailer, and my MasterCraft X-25. It's much easier indoors than trying to maneuver tightly with a Crew-Cab Standard Bed pickup truck. They state up to a 6% grade and are also good for grass and...

    How to avoid condensation and moisture from forming on a lean to overhang on garage

    I have a steel roof on my dock - a single layer with nothing underneath it. I still get condensation on the underside of it despite having no walls or anything else besides trusses under the roof. Granted, there is a LOT of moisture underneath it, but still... it couldn't be more ventilated.

    How do you store your electric extension cords?

    I feel like all of mine are constantly in use, never being stored anywhere except across the floor :rolleyes:

    Wildfire vs Advantage 9000 XLT lift. Why the price difference?

    I had the same question - I went with the Wildfire XLT. It's been great.

    Matchbox car display....

    There are a lot of ways to display 1/64 cars. You mentioned displaying carded cars. I am assuming you have loose ones too. How many are we talking about? I have about 750 of them on the wall leading up to our bar. I tend to open everything, so this suits me, but there are MANY ways to do...

    Chinese Two Post Lifts, possible purchase

    I had a Bendpack switch stick on while working at a dealership. Granted, they get used a lot, but it was NOT on an inexpensive lift. I had ZERO clue where the breaker for my lift was, but the top limit switch did work in this situation.

    How many wires?

    Am I allowed to run two 12/2 Romex through a 3/8 NM clamp into a box?

    Ceiling Fan Recommendations?

    I'm looking at putting 2 - or possibly 4 - of these in my shop. I'm 40x60x16. I will wire for 4, but install 2 catty-corner and see how it is, then add the other 2 if I feel that they are needed. Parrot Uncle 100" Fan If you're feeling a bit more spendy - Parrot Uncle 120" Fan Honestly...

    Storing casters for your 4 post lift

    I seem to use mine all the time. I have them lying on the floor near the lift so I can get to them quickly. I must be moving my lift a lot more often than most of you guys do. It depends on whether I'm using the lift or moving a trailer out of the garage. I still have some organizing to do...

    Utilize all available options to maximize all the space you can. You'll never regret more space.

    Garage window installation height

    Hanging ceiling fans

    This did occur to me - but I was hoping to avoid climbing into the attic and wading through the insulation to affix the 2x6s. My ribs run front-to-back and trusses side-to-side (of course), so missing the ribs is easy.

    Hanging ceiling fans

    I have a stick-built garage with 40' trusses 24" OC. I want to hang a couple of ceiling fans ~32 lbs each. The ceiling is covered in ribbed sheet metal with blown-in insulation on top of that. Can I attach directly to a truss (screw box thru sheet metal into truss), or should I tie 2 trusses...
