    Worse case, you'll have to get out of the truck and then roll if forward to backwards.

    Hans Hougaard lifts?

    If it is a screw type lift, how would you be able to use a single phase motor? The key to the three phse is that you can spin the motor in both directions by switching legs. You'll need to keep the three phase motor and use a drive to convert single phase to 3 phase. Funny thing, is that the...

    Got my BendPak MD-6xp, but is there a problem?

    I would ask ASEdeals what they think. I'm sure Bend Pak would love it if you would modify the lift and remove liability from them, but I would think it's their problem to solve.

    Compressor opinion

    I have to agree the Champion compressors are great. They are USA made, make more cfm than all of the popular units in stores and typically run much quieter! One other item to consider is RPM. The Champion compressors run around 800 RPM! I'll actually be at a show this weekend with the...

    Did a 10' ceiling keep you from the lift you wanted? 10 w/ cathedral ceiling?

    As long as you don't want to be able to stand under your tires with the suspension sagging, I'd say you've got a good chance of pulling it off with 10'. it will be close, and I would lean towards a baseplate lift, but I've done a bunch in newer developments with 10' ceilings. How tall do you...

    Tankless water heaters

    There have been plenty of opinions posted on these. I did a quick search for you for two recent ones to discuss both gas and electric ones. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13552&highlight=tankless http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14057&highlight=tankless

    Need Tips and suggestions for Garage Make Over

    I would recommend running a small sub panel out to the shed for light and such. Rent a ditchwich for about $100 and it goes real easy. I ended up putting a motion light on the outside of my shed.

    any photoshoppers out there that might be able to help?

    I would recommend the color green over blue. Blue homes have less of an appeal, and typically are harder to sell. Not saying you're selling it, but if you're not set on blue choose the better investment. Most siding web sites will give you a interactive template. Just find one with a ranch...

    2 post lift questions

    We've built ramps for some 2 posts. They can be nice, but vehicle loading is kinda specific for the vehicles, and there is a liability of the end user loading a car (weight distribution) not intended for a partucular ramp design.

    Lifts

    What freight terminal is it comming out of? You've got the FedEx terminal near 380&940. Even closer you could flip the guys at Stauffer Concrete to unload it and then bring it home from there. I have to admit, the shipping charge form ASL is very reasonable and expecting the truck to drop it...
