Mercedes installs those plastic pads on the rocker panel specifically for lifting. When setting the lift, if the lift arm pads don't line up with all four I line the lift arms up with the vehicle pads and put a wooden block on the arms.

My sewer pipe was originally cast iron that transitioned to clay pipe that went out to the street. Had issues with roots getting through the clay so that part was replaced with PVC. I'll have to deal with that eventually too.

My kitchen is right next to the bathroom and when it comes time to renovate that I will have access to the majority of the plumbing in the house and will make the switch to PEX at that time.

It will be between the first and second floor. When I reno the kitchen (centrally located) I will have the best access to 75% of the household plumbing and I will make the switch to PEX at that time.

This technically isn't garage related, but I figured there are plenty of knowledgeable people on here to give me some advice. My home was built in the mid 50s on a slab instead of a basement (not common in my area). The first floor plumbing is galvanized pipe embedded in the concrete. I'm...

I would have a divider for the workshop area, especially if you will do any woodworking in your garage. And the wash bay should be lit up like a paint booth for any paint correction and waxing/coating.

I'm an auto mechanic by trade and I always get requests for side work. In my experience it's not worth the aggravation. I also have 2 young sons and time with them is more valuable than a few extra bucks in my pocket. I'll do anything for my immediate family though and occasional favor for a...
