Personally, I would abandon the round yurt idea. Contractors and inspectors tend to get squeamish out of their comfort zones, not to mention the other issues you might have as stated with loans, cabinets etc. You can build a regular building wind resistant using strong ties and other methods, I...

The pad height will vary along the swing of the arm if the floor is not level and the lift post perfectly perpendicular to it. Even an eighth off will make a different over a 3 foot arm span.

Mark from Action Builders, he built my house and garage, and a garage for a friend -- all good. Tony

Pad info that Bendpak gave me is attached... YMMV. One of the things Bendpak was concerned about is having a nice even/level area for the arms to swing out and car to sit on. Many folks don't pay much attention to that. If the front or back of the vehicle is lower then its possible with a low...

All good advice above. Here's the manual for my lift, just installed this weekend. Its a Bendpak, but should be similar enough to help. Page 4... http://www.bendpak.com/XPR-10-10A%20REV%20A%2001-03-11.pdf

Thanks. Have no idea what type pex it, but I'll probably do just as you suggested with the trench/pipe insulation, or something very similar. Have until tonight when I get home to decide.

Realizing it may not be up to code in some locations, here is what I found.... Installing A Zurn PEX XL or Zurn PEX CR Fitting Under Concrete As a matter of good practice, it is best to avoid placing fittings in an area where concrete would have to be removed if repairs are necessary. However...

Concrete question - What do I do with the blue thingy? Hi folks, In the process of replacing part of my garage floor with the pad size recommend by BendPak for one of their lifts. Water line for the hose bibs runs under where the new thicker pad will be, my question is anyone ever put a pex...

I suggest that you buy a small quantity and try it somewhere that will be covered up by cabinets or something later. For some reason, I did not have good luck with a densifier/sealer. My power troweled concrete was 15 months old at the time, it was pressure washed, slightly etched, and...
