Interesting, you use the wall mounted vs. the metro vac for cars? Also, doesn't that metrovac mount to the wall? Yes I realize this thread is a little old. Been reading on a lot of these (I have to read every review for every purchase I make), the vacu-maid seems to have the highest % of...

thanks for posting, just ordered through wayfair. Hopefully their free shipping doesn't damage the cabinet.

Hmmm, back to $200 on the HD website! I have decided to go w/ the newage pro cabinets, just searching for the best price.

Do you have an alarm system? I have a sensor on my garage door via my alarm system. Using alarm.com, I get a text and/or a push notification if my garage door is left open for a certain period of time (15 minutes, IIRC). I also have it set so that opening the garage door will trigger an alarm...

I don't think you could pay me enough to do that.

If you plan to be there a long time, House B.

No, they are two different companies. Both are publicly traded - VAL and PPG.

Hmmm, that looks like it could work - does it stay in place well with the vehicles constantly pulling in and out of the garage?

I recently had an epoxy floor installed (just had my painter do it) and he recommended using some kind of parking mat for under the tires, especially for my Corvette which sometimes sits (2nd car). Sounds like a simple product but haven't quite found anything perfect yet. There are products...

No. Through the garage door would be an unlikely exit for me, and the bolt can be removed in about 1 second.

It's a response to this video:

Thanks for the help guys ... I drilled a hole, which must have been a fraction of an inch from where it should have been because a zip tie didn't quite offer the resistance (I could just barely engage the release). Instead of a zip tie, I used a small bolt, which seems to work fine:
