I agree, a big tear out with two guys will take a day and fill the dumpster. Now what?

Check the cables, pulleys and any wear items and factor them into the price.

I read this post and had nothing to add, i then read another post (Gun wall storage ideas?) that led me to check out "mikec35" car build and saw this: http://s81.photobucket.com/user/mikec35/media/DSCN0827.jpg.html?sort=2&o=2 Not sure if he made it, or got it somewhere.

That is cool. Leaving that on the back burner. That does solve the storage problem, as long as the storage is long term, over the winter. If you like to cycle the cars, moving the wheel adapters is going to be a pain. My vote is for a 4 post, I have not had a job that I could not do with...

Interesting and informative link. :thumbup:

He states: "...commercial tiles are than the ones in a typical bathroom" I do agree with that porcelain floors are strong. I dropped a hammer from 12' in the air on them and not a chip. But still not in a working garage.

The ones made in the USA, other than the commercial ones, don't certify them. Why do you need/want them certified? Insurance requirements? (Because having looked at a Chinese one that was certified, I would not pay $1 for the certification. JMO) My GUESS is that the US brands don't want...

Burnished steel trowel and then I used a penetrating concrete sealer. The smooth surface makes clean up easy, but the sealer only "resists" oil, so you have to remove it within a day or so or it will stain. http://www.concretesealersusa.com/penetrating-concrete-sealers/

Look into Backyard buddy. Made in the USA.

Commercial free music brought to me by DIRECTV and a set of computer speakers. And of course its 70s Rock, what else is there? :D

Both have their advantages, more important would be the ceiling, 12'+ with scissor truss. With your stated uses, and 4 post lift is a must. Why hunch over to wax you Hot Rod?

That would be cool.

Nice job. How about a diamond plate for the top? ;)
