    2 Post Lift Help - Challenger VLE10 Versymmetric

    I have the Challenger LE10 lift. It is also verisemetric but before they came out with the name. I'm very happy with it as others have said. It has the 3 stage front and 2 stage rear arms which I don't really find any issues with. I went with the 10k lift as I have a Ram 2500 Diesel and wanted...

    Challenger SA10 Questions

    I have the LE10. I also wanted the controls on the left side so I called them and they told me the lift arms can be reversed front to back. That allowed me to also reverse the posts to put the controls where I wanted them. The shortest car I've had on it was a 450SL and I had no problems...

    Need music in my shop...best setup?

    I opted for a Sony amp with Bluetooth connectivity so I don't have any cables laying around. I also have a Acer Chromebase as an internet browser which is touch screen (so no keyboard needed), wifi and bluetooth so I have the option of streaming directly from my phone, or the Chromebase using...

    Hot Dawg electric advice

    I just installed the 75K unit and the instructions don't give any indication as the amperage required. Since it is an LP unit and it only uses AC for the fans, I went on the safe side and ran a 20amp dedicated circuit so I could disconnect power for service. Just my .02

    How many Ceiling fans are in your shop?

    I have 1 60" VES industrial fan in my 32x32x12 shop. I installed it with a VES wall controller to adjust the speed and reverse the direction. I moves a ton of air and keeps the heat down where I am instead of up where no one is

    New garage, condensation???

    I was having the exact same issue when they were mudding my garage. They left a heater going to keep the temp up and I was seeing puddles on the floor, mostly near the doors (where I suspect some air infiltration). After a day or 2 of drying, it all went away.

    The Garage Computer

    I used an 24" Acer Chromebase. Since it's a touch screen, the only wire needed is power. I have it on a swivel bracket. It has a camera built in so I can do video calls easily. I added a wireless keyboard for convenience. I have it connected via Bluetooth to my stereo so I can listen to...

    and so it begins.....again

    one thing I can say about this forum is there isn't a shortage of people willing to tell you how wrong you're doing things, regardless of how many inspectors, architects, engineers, builders and my own experience tell me. Someone a thousand miles away with zero knowledge of local building codes...

    and so it begins.....again

    FINALLY, some progress on my garage. The builder has been concentrating on the house (which is understandable) but the siding, windows and man door are finally in. He's talking about a June completion date for everything. I can't' wait until I finally get to finish out the inside with heat...

    and so it begins.....again

    I've never seen blocking and nailing along all edges of the sheeting in any construction in this area. I have to trust that the architect, engineer, builder and building inspectors know more than I do.
