I just purchased a HALO 9K 4 post. One of the reasons I went with the HALO is that it has 14 locking positions VS the typical 10. Easier to get closer to the ceiling. During my research, I also found that a lot of the lifts, now including Bendpak, are made in China, so the Chicom aspect...

Get a lawyer !!!

The 1.2 GPM is not on sale anymore, back up to $139, but it still has the member $40 discount available, so it comes out to $99. Now the 1800/1.1 GPM is on sale for $99.00, but no additional member discount, which is a bummer. The 1.2/1800 machine for $60 was a smoking deal !!

Rip the trim off and repaint everything. Remember to scrub those door really well, fully dry and use the best house paint you can buy. My oldest ran into the same issue. Had a painting contractor come over, strip the trim off, clean and redo both his doors. Used a really expensive (I thought)...

Also, remember to go through your kit every year or two and replace the expired ****. I tag each of my bags with the last inspection date.

I have one of these in each of our vehicles ( https://www.amazon.com/EVERLIT-Emergency-Aluminum-Tourniquet-Military/dp/B08DCQSQ7C/?tag=atomicindus08-20 ) and a full on combat trauma/emergency surgery kit if things get really bad in the garage (LOL !!).

Sonos, you'll never look back !We have got a set of two Sonos One's in both our houses and they deliver. I think the newer one (this year) is called Era 100.

You'll definitely want to put bait traps around the OUTSIDE perimeter of your home come September and several peanut butter garnished snap traps inside now. Seems like you may have a severe rodent issue.

Rockwool is pretty rodent proof. Even city rats stay away from it. They can't chew it or eat it, as it messes up their mouths and intestinal tract.

Sure, I'll take a shot. If I win, it will manage to piss my wife off, because she keeps telling me "no new tools, we need to downsize !"

I too am raising my garage door height (to support install of a lift). Yes, you have to get an all new track set, otherwise the door will not work correctly. I contacted a Clopay Master Authorized Dealer near me. They could get me anything I want, track sets, door panels, etc. However, for...

Here ya go ! https://www.greengluecompany.com/ In my former life, we used this (along with other things) to mitigate sound. This stuff is awesome and it works when properly applied.

Beautifully done. I like the interior polished concrete floors. If I may ask, did you consider doing radiant heat for the floor vs the overhead tube type heating?

Nothing to add, but nice 996TT.

Not an expert, but I believe the drywall in your garage, if attached, is usually required to be 5/8" in order to establish a 1 hour fire rating between the garage walls/ceiling and the living space. Maybe in 1986 it was different, but that's what it is now. The drywall also acts as sound...
