you will not regret it, I did slate gray + pearl silver and was super happy with it. it is very durable and you should not have an issues with feet etc. on it, I had my table saw etc and slid a bunch of heavy tools across it and never had an issue. the 20 to 25% off plus free shipping is about...

Just saw this. I have a American Custom Lifts M1-6.5, this unit is awesome! We just sold our house and moving across the country and I will probably get another one. I did find it hard to find info about it before ordering it, but when I called them they were awesome to deal with. They can...

uh ya looks legit.

Re: Protecting exposed slabbinsulation.? I used this around my garage foundation, was easy to work with, and fairly cost effective. looks great too. TJ

Have a look at American Custom Lifts. I got a M1-6.5 single post and love it. I have a similar set up to you with a tandem garage and workshop off the main garage. The single post is up against the wall, and with a car up in the air I still have good access below to the rest of the garage. TJ

Try these guys Amerimex Lifting Systems (219) 512-3895 (cell phone) [email protected] Ask for Armando they installed by AC Lift last fall, they did a great job.

Agreed with the heat loss calculation. If you are doing radiant in floor heating checkout a program called loopcad to plug in your info and help with your calculation. A few months ago i installed a 7KW unit from Menards. I am also 720 soft and the same insulation and using it with my infloor...

Just sent you a contact via PM

I installed an AC Custom Lifts M1-6.5 a few months ago and I love it. I have a single wide tandem garage only 13' wide and the single post lift is awesome.

I'm in IL and did my comparison and decided to go electric. I have not yet installed it yet, but by numbers are close to what you are coming up with. how I looked at it was what is my payback period for gas to be cheaper in the long run, for me it was about 7 years. I figured that with...

Ya I still need to figure out what to do with the concrete stem wall. In the end nothing is going to happen until next year. I have swiss tax on the floor and baseboard above so its jus the stem wall. I did look at a few other options like mounting the sensor directly in a blank plate, but...

Slowly wrapping up my garage build, and thought I would share what I did with my safety sensors. I always hated they way the sensors on the GD look, they always collect cob webs, and the wires coming out of the wall are always unsightly. I have a single car garage that I recently built, and I...

Your pricing seems in line with what I had done last year. If you need another concrete contractor to quote I can give you my guy, he was amazing! TJ

Hey there, I'm In Arlington Heights. I just finished building my garage, I did most of the work myself but I hired out Concrete and Electrical. I can give you awesome contacts for each. For Concrete I used K&K Concrete - I dealt with Kurt 847-833-5493 and his dad, their whole crew was amazing...

I've been using this https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41Q%2BiGR5z-L.jpg I ran 1/2 EMT conduit in my walls with boxes to mount a switch plate to, I'm insulated so i figured if i ever needed to pull new wires it would be super easy. I know it is overkill, but EMT is cheap. I also...
