    Concrete Prep for Resurfacing

    Understanding the causes of the spalling, and the condition/finish of the concrete as a whole will help with a recommendation on the prep work, along with following manufacturer's recommendations on the prep work for the chosen patch or filler. If the spalls are throughout - maybe due to an...

    Another lift discussion thread...

    Ok, would confirm that it has not just the extended height, but also the extended cylinders. It looks like there is an HR version but I had to go to another site to see it (not at Forward's page) and it has listed the individual release feature (one release on each side, but once released it...

    Another lift discussion thread...

    I looked at the DP10A (was this what was quoted? I couldn't find the DB10A) and it looks like it says, and I'm unsure if it matches your needs: Maximum rise 76 -1/4" (1937mm) w/5" extension While the BendPak says: Rise A - Rise: 75" (1,905 mm) B - Rise + Pad Only: 79.75" (2,026 mm) C - Rise +...

    Incorrect. I have the XPR-10AS with the extra height, and low profile arms for lifting tall things to about 5' 10' clear to the bottom of the arms. The XPR-10AXLS has the extended cylinders with an extra 6" of lift getting the bottom of the arms to 6'4". But that is to the bottom of the arms...

    Ohio Barn Est. 2017/2018

    After dealing with poor startup running, and then eventually letting it sit for the winter, I finally got the 335i running as it should. In late 2018, it started acting a bit weird under full throttle pulls and on occasional startup. I ran it sporatically last year while I ran the codes &...

    The Bimmer Basement

    Well that's a great point and oversight on my end. ***** about the tire.

    The Bimmer Basement

    I wonder if it is the Xdrive sensing the pull and difference in circumference. It may use the same light for low pressure and wrong tire size.

    Polyurea touch up

    It looks like there is an oil spot, is it the NW quadrant of the oil spot? If it's not oil and it is discolored, I would recommend scraping all of the loose area to expose the concrete, then look at cleaning and roughing the concrete, scuff a small amount of the surround at the edge, then fill...

    The Official Post A Picture Of Your Floor Thread

    48'x48' - Legacy Industrial Beige with an Amazon sourced sand/desert flake mix (I wanted a mix that contained a few slight differences and not large contrasts (black, white, other bold color). I like some variation, but wanted it to be subtle for a more tempered look, and ease of finding dropped...

    Ohio Barn Est. 2017/2018

    I spent a little more time last night getting things put away and organized in the main workspace and retaped a couple of poorly done joints in the ceiling insulation (when I can get access to the floor space with the scissor lift), with the WFH in place, I'm trying to move things from the...

    Thanks I like the simplicity, and I think I could fit the kid's kayaks tucked up under the existing racks.

    Ohio Barn Est. 2017/2018

    An update, 1. Bought another BMW and did some work on it. Lots of cleanup and misc work to make it more efficient and reliable. I need some new pictures of it clean, but I am loving the 3.0TT diesel. 2. Finally got everything put back from the insulation, it was suprising once all the...

    Concrete over concrete

    Unless is is specifically designed and with proper separation (or bonding depending on the purpose) you will see almost all the cracks from the lower slab form on the upper slab. Concrete is great in compression, but poor in tension. Joints in the original concrete cut at the proper time would...

    Slowing down a Foot switch

    I'll go simple (like adjusting the high hat on a drum kit). Loosen the set screw and clock the pedal/arm so that you limit the initial starting and maximum amounts. Loosen the arm and push the pedal down with the pot in the initial position. Then when you release you have more give in the...

    How clean is your garage floor?

    I regularly clean my epoxy floors (barn and garage) between projects and that usually involves: 1. Dirt, dust, other non-petroleum based project: Sweep everything to the front, dustpan for 99%, then leaf blower out the front and off to the side. 2. Liquids non-petroleum based: Absorb with...
