Hey rburke65! Eagle had a special sent via email where this lift was discounted $100, down to $1899. Its an 11k pound lift and you can see the details here: http://www.eagleequip.com/page/EE/PROD/LI-ETP/MTP-11A They are in TN and I'm in PA. Shipping was $250 but you have to get it off the...

thanks dude... I forgot to add that I am sore from head to toe. I'm not used to working with my muscles any more! Jeff

I ordered my Eagle MTP-11A about two weeks ago. It delivered last week and I was overwhelmed with the weight. The sales rep at Eagle said my Kubota could get it off the truck but the front bucket couldn't even lift it a bit off the ground. It took lots of luck and tugging with my wife's Jeep to...

Thanks for the feedback guys! I appreciate it. Jeff

Santa might be getting me a lift for Christmas. I'm pretty sure its a 2-post, around 9ton lifting capacity. I am just a hobbyist and probably the biggest thing I will lift is a 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck. I have a 12 foot ceiling in the garage and 6 inches of concrete underneath the bay that will have...

I worked for a company called Cabletron. Two guys started the company in their garage cutting ethernet cable and selling to those who could not afford to buy the whole roll. This was the only way to buy it in the beginning. These guys invented the LED activity light on hubs and its something we...

thanks everyone! hopefully that will be enough "evidence" to allow an epoxy floor to get past my wife's line-item veto power. :) Jeff Reed

Building a new house and have two garage floors I want to paint with epoxy. My wife has been to all those new home tours over the last few years and is concerned about the odor in those garages she saw at the new homes. My assumption is they painted the floor days before the tour. She's worried...

I measured the joints they cut in the foor of my garage and they are about 3/16" wide and about 1.5" deep. Looking for backer rods the smallest I see are 3/8". Do I need backer rods for that small of a crack? Any brand name suggestions on what you guys are using to fill the cracks? I haven't...

Just confirmed with the garage door subcontractor that I am getting Liftmaster 3800's on all three doors. I think he already had one planned for the 10ft door on the back of the garage. Sweet! I'm excited!! :beer: Jeff Reed

What brand of epoxy did you use? Jeff Reed

thanks again for the suggestions. I'm doing best to combat my builder's shoot-ready-aim mentality on some of these abby normal items. I'm sure it will come down to a simple matter of money to get it fixed. Jeff Reed

thanks guys!! I am hoping I can talk to the garage people before too long. Now I have a better idea what to suggest when I talk to them. thanks again! Jeff Reed

thanks for the quick reply koditten... did you need to do anything special with the motor or are you using a regular door opener motor? I was reading that you might need a stronger motor if you are lifting the door straight up for a longer distance than normal. thanks! Jeff Reed

I'm in the process of building a new house and detached garage. The builder does good work but he has the occasional lack of vision (due to saving money). The ceiling in my detached garage is 12 feet high. I'm planning on installing a lift in one bay. The front 3 garage doors are normal sized...
