Can do what you want, but cant run a business there, or live there.... Yes, up north we have industrial spaces, so have 1st hand experience with both.

Bummer, that was a great deal.

I bought one in January in Naples FL, and was big $. Paid cash, so cant comment on financing. Our umbrella covers general liability. I talked to an agent about contents protection, and they came back with hundreds of thousands of $ in contents protection, for around $3k a year, cars have their...

link? just looked and could not find that offer (maybe expired by now)

Sound quality will be very good in a unit of that era. But by todays forced standards, its completely obsolete. No HDMI. let me guess its got some SVHS (a 4 pin DIN connector), and maybe component video switching (red green and blue RCA connectors). Dont think twice about protecting it. just...

Recycle. As mentioned above, i also put up a starlink at our garage, and used an old Directv mount i had sitting around, vs buying something new.

Receiver will be fine. Super high humidity id worry more about the tools getting rusty. I run dehumidifiers in my garages (in some cases in addition to AC).

Looks like the balance bar for an old wheel balancer

I got this Rapid Air automatic inflator a few months ago. Super happy with it. Set it, walk away, especially handy for large volume tires (tractor), beeps when done. The only complaint I read about here (before buying it), was the quantity of batteries it takes (7 AA if I recall)

Mine is older than the one pictured, does have the low dividers, and friction slides. I bought it in the early 90's (used was ~10 years old then). Mine has a foot operated "brake" to hold the box in place (not present in the pic above).

Bottle jacks are just fine. Other ideas, not mentioned that I have done, tall jackstands on the floor, lower the car on to them (obviously the car then is not at a great working height). I have also used quick jacks on the runners of the 4 post lift (understood that this might not be in the...

In that application I would do two 4 post lifts, vs the double wide. Double wides are cool, but keep in mind, you have to move both cars under, to lower the lift, vs the one car under the single lift. And as you point out the 24" divider will make things challenging. Im not a big fan of the...

What works for me, one of our 911's has aluminum lug nuts. I use a piece of poly plastic, then over it a 6 point Snap On socket. No marring on a easy to damage lug nut.

Im not a huge fan of buying used tools, but I sure would buy (and have) a used tool box. Just something to consider.

We have many 4 posts and a 2 post. A couple comments: Rolling jacks, on a 4 post, are great, as mentioned expensive. I have a lift that does not have the roller jacks, I have used a pair of quick jacks sitting on the ramps of the 4 post (seems crazy, but works well). I have also used TALL...
