For those suggesting circulating pumps, how would a pump be installed when the op only has one hot line coming from the heater? Not being critical, just curious. If you install a second parallel line, it will thermo siphon and both pipes will be hot without needing a pump. Glen

Run a separate pipe teed off of the heater hot water outlet and tee it into the hot water riser where the heater was originally located. Then, insulate both lines. With no circulating pump, there will be a thermo siphon action that will keep both lines hot at all times and give you hot water...

Before retiring, I owned a commercial architectural woodworking business where much of our work was plastic laminate. We had an employee who had taken courses in furniture and laminate finish repair and could repair scratches and chips in laminate to a point where the repairs were almost...

I have two four post lifts, neither of which are bolted down. I use them for lifting light cars like our Model A Ford to our heavy Yukon SUV with no problems. With the wheels, I have moved them several times for painting the floor to just relocating them for better use. My friend did not bolt...

Try Conestoga. Our commercial cabinet shop found they could make any sized doors cheaper and better than we could and we used them for years. Good quality product at affordable prices. Glen

Wood eventually rots and decomposes over time. Suggest you cut out the wood floor where the lift columns will be located and pour a concrete footer as matt i states above. Glen

Painting stripes is just crazy. Why go through all that trouble when you can buy a roll of vinyl red tape. Took me about an an hour to do a stripe in my 30x38 garage. No lazer needed either. Just used a four ft level. Glen

Two points. 1. Read as many reviews as you can find from actual users. Not all glowing reports. 2. Think of resale. Many buyers are turned off by vinyl unless the house is low end. Although, a basement installation would be less of a problem. I'm going through the same selection dilemma...

Agreed. After building a home and storing the paint for later touch up, I have used some of it 15 yrs later and it was still good....just so long as it was sealed well when first stored. Glen

For added support to the above, I have two four post lifts not bolted down. The caster arms that came with them sure came in handy when I moved the lifts to paint the floor. Glen
