I may be remodeling in the next year. I have an existing 35ft wide and 25 ft deep garage. What roof pitch would I need to be able to have a walkable attic? I don't need every inch to be usable, but hopefully walkable in the center of the California roof. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Yea.. i had a bad contact on the pressure switch. It's working great! This website is the best! Doesn't take too long... Good luck!

Hi GeorgiaHybrid, thanks again for all of your help. I finally got everything wired up. I got power straight to the magnetic starter (L1 IN and L2 IN), wires from the pressure switch to the starter (Y & Z going to A & B), and the power out of the starter directly connected to the quincy motor...

Hi GeorgiaHybrid, thanks for your diagrams. I finally received my SquareDBox magnetic starter and wanted to get some of your input. I labeled the diagram of how I think it should be hooked up (based on your drawing), but wanted some of your input. Hopefully it should be straight forward. I...

Thanks GeorgeHybrid. I'm looking to purchase the Square D Magnetic Motor starter control (5HP 1ph 230V 30A) with the B-40 (rated at 21.8 - 24.2 AMPS) thermal overload/heater. The pictures sure do help alot. I'll be purchasing it on Monday and hope it will be straight forward to install. My setup...

Thanks jeb42 for the input! Hi GeorgeHybrid, do you have any recommendations for a mag switch? Sorry, new to this. Thanks!

Hi, this may be a general question. I got got my Quincy Model# 2V41C60VC compressor. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200350475_200350475 Wasn't sure if you guys would recommend having a magnetic starter or just have it directly connected to the pressure switch only. Is there...

Here's a 5 year old and 18 year old Rotary lift failing. http://www.autoshopowner.com/topic/6391-lifespan-of-rotary-lifts/ Makes you wonder...

Re: Floor Did you lay down your own epoxy floor? It's nice. Which brand? I don't know if I have as much patience cleaning it as good as you do. :)

Umm.. how do you keep your garage floor so clean? or should I ask, how often do you clean it?

The Mohawk adapters are an arm and a leg for purchasing. I believe they are over $2k for them and are limited to the width or size of the tire. It seems his custom job accommodates more vehicle types which is nice... Great for exhaust work.

What's your email?

The 3800 I got from Ebay (if you shop around) for $238 each roughly. I had a carriage wood door with stained windows that was 18x8 and 8x8. Installed and everything was $8.5k. That included the door rolled close to the ceiling when open. But again, that was with a wood door.

Thanks Hobbit. How long was the brake fluid on the floor? My brother said his "special" coating (non expoxy) is supposed to be stronger/resistent to chemicals, but his flooring curled after leaving brake fluid on the floor the next day. I didn't want to experiment on my epoxy floor. :)

For those that have the Mohawk A7, can you post any pictures of you lifting a truck or SUV with a long wheelbase? over 113" or more? I know it is better with the System IA, but I want to see if anyone has done it with this particular assymetrical lift safely. If you have any experiences you can...
