Alright folks, I come seeking hydraulic knowledge. I bought a used MaxJax (because I already had the mounting/bases for the old one) cleaned it up added new quick disconnect fittings, bled the thing and it lifts uneven... like they all do. I had this problem with my last one and would lift to...

I've had mine for years, and it keeps on ticking. Its easily the best and most useful HF purchase I've ever made. That being said I'm going to go knock on wood now, but I would not hesitate to recommend the 4.5" HF special to anyone.

I just noticed the beer and the glass on the table... What were you partaking in?

looks like a great garage. I live in the city, about 20min south of you :)

No problem! I'd be game for helping out on tiling as that is what I'll probably end up doing for my garage because of its setup (stupid floor is terrible). My vote is 44" as my full height (full of tools) box is almost unmanageable to move in/out of my trailer by a single person. But it is...

let me know if you need help with that (I'm about 20 miles south). I've done several floors and all are holding up pretty darn well. Looks like a pretty good garage, and I like the lexus :)

I was thinking the same thing for that dish rack, that is a great idea!!!:thumbup:

The garage was originally build in the 1920's and I'm 90% sure it had a dirt floor. Sometime after they added the, most unlevel, slab. But the roof slopes from just under 8 feet, to just over 6 feet on the other end. I cant even walk on that side of the garage because of it. The garage opener is...

So this is going to sound very strange, but I'm having the walls raised and a new roof put on my garage (6 foot ceilings are simply not enough, since I'm 6'2"). I've removed 90% of my stuff from the garage, what a pain that was, but I'm at a loss on how to secure my tool chest. My wife would...

agreed!!! when it comes to light, the more the better.

I've thought about ductless, but part of the 300sq ft is a bathroom and a walk in closet. Would ductless work for all of that space? (sorry if these ?'s seem silly, lol)

While not for my garage I'm thinking about putting a shed dormer across the back of my 1940's cape cod. One thing I've not thought about is how the addition of ~300sq/ft will affect the need for heat/AC on the top floor. Are there many good places to read about sizes of units (to see if mine is...

I'm sort of in your boat. I have 10' walls and I initially thought I'd need a short lift. About the best I've found is the bendpak XPR-9, its 113" tall, with a rise of 72". While its just over what you said your ceiling was, this may work for you if you modify your trusses. If you cant, a...

This is the story of my 20x20 garage. While the real work started some months ago, and ended rather recently with a fired contractor, and being out precious time, I reached a milestone today and figured I'd start a journal about it. Today I picked up the plans for my garage! While its not going...

Wow guys! Thanks for the info this is great! I'd also be prepared for other stupid questions for me, as the closer and closer I get the more and more I think about taking off a week or work and building this myself (which seems like both a good and bad idea). Bill, with the permitting process...
