Re: I need a low ceiling clear floor 10,000 lift for my garage with a 11' 6" ceiling. I know the atlas platinum 10k lifts will work with that height. I about to buy one but found a great deal on a used lift locally and got creative. I bought a Ravagloili 10k OH 2 post lift but the important...

I have used telescopesic trans Jack's at work for everything. They are almost as helpful as the lift itself at times. After buying my 10k Rav lift, jack stands, a bidirectional scanner, and another car in the past few months I have to start really treading lightly between garage expenses and a...

Totally unnecessary. Unless you cut out a section much later than you plan and pin it to the existing slab it will be less stable than using what you already have.

5 years and 2 kids under 5 made me a quick learner I'm able to keep the yard decent with the biffen and pump sprayer. But if I had a blower I'm thinking the hour to spray the yard can be cut down considerably and I'll be more likely to stay up on it. I have a pipe dream of being able to go to...

I did see the positive amazon reviews that I take with a grain of salt and some good reviews on youtube. I figured it was worth a shot getting input from strangers online in a familiar place lol. My wife told me to buy one as a wedding anniversary gift for myself. I'm just waiting to pull the...

For a once and a while thing you can release the carriage from the opener track and push outwards on the garage door for the strut to clear the bumper as you push the door closed. I have done this a couple times. Keep in mind you are going to have to have the front bumper touching the inside...

1. I would imagine if you had a good miter saw this would be easy 2. Probably not if you need an engineer's design. Definitely not if you value your time. 3. Call up the building department in your city/township and ask. Unless your state's building code or municipality has a prescriptive...

I have a fairly wooded 5 acre property and have had decent success in keeping the 100' grass perimeter around the house tolerable with a pump sprayer and biffen concentrate. I've done as much as I can for eliminating breeding grounds but our property backs to a river and there is seasonal...

When I was looking to buy a lift I was really interested in the price of the 10k aplus+++ lift on amazon/ebay. I really didnt want a base plate for transmission removal or pushing non running cars. Looking on amazon (positive) review pictures the arm deflection with trucks on the lifts were...

I would go with location 2. I'm really hung up on the cave. Are caves common to have in Texas? Was the previous owner batman?

The only portable grease guns I have used are the manual pump. I have had a lincoln with the flex hose for 3 or 4 years with no leaks. Much better than the cheap Lucas from Depot or the chinese chrome pumpers.

I love grk screws this ***** to hear!

Since the thread was already resurrected... My experience with using epoxy is with rebar in concrete repair where shooting too much in the hole isnt an issue if some oozes out. Any tricks to keep it off of the base plate when drilling through base plates on a lift and using epoxy anchors? I...

Not sure what licensing requirements are for PA but in michigan you need to have 8000 hours worked in no less than 4 years under direct supervision of a licensed electrician and pass a state test. But they do give some credit for certain training programs. In michigan at least the best move is...

Quality materials and joinery. Its incredible how cheap and flimsy a standard merillat or any other standard line cabinet is. At the same time I've pulled 3/8" box cabinets that were perfectly fine after 20 years of abuse. At the end of the day most end consumers thi k a grey cabinet door with...
