Maybe I'm losing it, but does anyone know why my thread about solving a strange Scissor Lift issue would be deleted? (I know it sat for at least a day without a response. Is that a reason?) I'll repost it but was hoping there were some ideas in it. Thanks guys

Hi guys! Sorry, I see a few threads regarding the Mr. Heater Maxx heaters (50K or thereabouts for my 2-2.5 car garage), but nothing that covers my concern. I understand about explosion risks with a 'non separated' heater, and that doesn't really concern my (I just usually turn wrenches. If I...

Hi guys. Covered my garage in Resurfacer (It was pockmarked) and purchased a bunch of kits of 100% Epoxy (Nothing special. From a local retailer in Canada. I ordered them in). There is nothing about using a primer. I know on cars, we can use reducer on epoxy and spray it as a primer/sealer...

Looking to pour some self leveling over my whole garage floor. She's quite pitted. I was going to use Quikrete or some such but haven't read anything good. Then I looked at Mapei, and while it has good reviews, it says it's not a 'wear surface'. Would this actually matter in the case of a...

Question for those who have built (to code). Redoing the inside of an attached garage. Since I was going to heat the garage (occasionally) in the winter (in Canada), I was doing the other 2 walls with batts, and 6mil vapor barrier on the inside. Now I've come to the house-wall and realized...

Hey guys, had a thought, and am mainly just curious. What would happen if you were to use a decent poly (or something) clear overtop of a cheap 'box store' epoxy kit? Let's assume it's a solvent based epoxy? I would think that would work fine? (I'm not running out and doing it, mainly I'm...

Allo! Does anyone have the slightest clue what size of chain/sprocket would be on a standard Chamberlain garage door opener (Security Plus) I think from about 1999. 1/2hp. I assumed it was #41 (Which I have just found out is smaller than #40?) due to the 1/2" Pitch, however, the width of the...

Well now that this thing is finally up and going, I'm wondering what type of accessories you guys use? 1) I will be making some support bars (mainly because the vintage mustang doesn't really fit). Question: Am I allowed to sell things on here? I figured I need to order some rubber pads so I...

Good day gentlemens, Ok, after dicking around with my flooring dilemma (Epoxy, Polyurea, etc), I'm still not 100% (Although I am 99%!) convinced the moisture is condensation. That would be a huge piss off if it lifted. That also removed Peel and stick (dammit!) Was going to go with VCT, but...

Maybe that was too much of a novel, let me shorten this up. Anyone have experience with the RokRez Pro 100% Solids epoxy (Made by Simiron, or something). If so what were your thoughts? THanks!

So I'm having an impasse about what to do about my (1965 I think) garage floor that has seen better days, and I'd like to do it right after I drywall and bring in all my equipment. Originally I was going to go with the cheapest vinyl/laminate roll I could find (Ideally I wanted a checkerboard...

So I finally poured the pit for my scissor lifts. While not perfect, happy with the way it came out for one pour. Unfortunately around the edges where the bottom of the forms were, it's not completely level. Sometimes the concrete went under the boards, sometimes not enough, so sometimes there...

Hey guys, just did a high lift conversion to the door (9x6.5, single spring). A strange dilemma, 1 cable goes slack at the top of the travel. Funny thing is, that side of the door is also higher at the top (Like it's being pulled by a magical cable). Tracks are good. I unwound the spring and...

So for my 24x22 garage, with a scissor lift on one side, I had calculator and plotted out that about 9-10 fixtures would be quite good (2 bulb, 4foot T8's I mean). 3-4 on the one side, and the rest on the hoist/work side. So I went to grab some, and the electrical supply house told me to wait...

Hi guys, So when I was ripping down some drywall/cement board, I found some carriage bolts with the end secured (Sort of, I believe there is a square plate in the wall, BEHIND the sheathing), and the threaded part sticking into the area between studs. There was (I removed before I took the...

Hi guys, I am reading it is now best (or maybe even code? Ontario, who knows) to have a neutral wire in the switch box for all switches. So maybe I am misunderstanding, and I have no problems wiring this way (in fact I am more comfortable doing it this way since it's the way I've always done...

Hi guys, Pictures to come when I drag myself out there again! House was built in 1965. The garage, which is 24' across, has a very lower 7ish foot ceiling (Looks like drywall/sheet, with quickset spread over it??). What is interesting though is that ceiling is nailed to 2x4's, which are...

Hi guys, Was digging through some old threads here and my curiosity has piqued on the imported EE-6503 scissor mount lift. Although I'm having a little trouble locating one. Did anyone else manage to order one, and if so, from where exactly? I looked briefly on that Holden Engineering page...
