So I've had this compressor since the holidays but haven't had a chance to wire it up and try it out. It puts out 18.1 CFM at 90PSI. I was stunned at how quiet this thing is and how fast it filled up the 60 gallon tank from zero to 140 PSI. I realize that my previous compressor was a Harbor...

Due to numerous family catastrophic driving practices, I find myself in need of some wheel dollies due to a broken tie rod on one vehicle and frozen rear disks on another... I looked at Harbor freight and the only one that even remotely impressed me was 1250 Lb. Capacity Mechanical Wheel Dolly...

Ok, so I'm researching a Morton building using perma-columns, 6" rebar floor, as steep a pitched roof as I can afford (I think it looks better). Now my secret plans. The building needs to be about 45x45 with 14' ceilings for the lift. I'll heavily insulate and use OSB for the garage portion...

Ok, slightly confused...go figure. How high does the ceiling have to be to accommodate a full size lift and a full size truck?

I keep hearing that Morton are great buildings but the price will cause a coronary occlusion. Is there a number we're talking about? Is it twice as much per sq ft as it's competitors? Assuming all options equal? I know this may b a really tough question to answer.

So I'm really set on a building by a quality builder like Morton. 45x40x16? Height determined by car lift (Mohawk), RV & Sailboat. Perma-Columns, 6" rebar concrete floor. All other details up for discussion. I have something over an acre of ground and the garage would be behind the house and...

I have a 30' RV and 30' sailboat. Both are about 11' high. I also want to put in a car lift and park a car in there. What size are we talking about, 45' wide, 40' deep and 12' high? I'm not sure how high the ceiling has to be to accommodate the typical car/truck on a lift. I don't want a ****...

So if I go with a MaxJax I need to drill all the holes as accurately as possible. I've read people have had issues with the air hammer drill walking or drilling at less than vertical angles. Has anyone tried to use a drill guide? Because if they have I'm curious where they got one for a air...

I'm mostly convinced that the only full size lift that would fit in my garage would me a Mohawk A7 due to width problems. It shows a range from 105 to 125. I'm not sure exactly what gets wider or narrower but I can't afford it anyway. The MaxJax is 105" wide so it should be fine....my question...

I'm not worried about the height. I have 10' 6". (126") So height is not a problem for the correct lift. Now I'm worried about the width. I have a two car garage. Each door is 8'8" with 20" between the two. The side where the lift has to go is 15" from the door opening to the wall. So if I put...

Everyone keeps asking what the best car lift is. I don't need the best. I'd like Mohawk, not happening. I just need one that one won't turn me in into circus dwarf. Is there one that's safe and a good value for the money? Carve out the ones you wouldn't be caught dead under...or actually would...

Sometime you can get better deal if you buy two higher dollar items at the same place. I'm sold on Miller welders. But I can't seem to find a store that sells both. Yeah, I know, I'm being as cheap as it goes.

I'm so seriously looking at a Morton Building using Perma-Column's my ears are beading. Budget is always the problem. I need 6inch floor for the car lift. That may be a little over kill but I like over kill. The building needs to be in the 40' to 45' range with tall walls as I have an RV and...

I didn't realize they still made in-ground lifts but it seems both Rotary and Mantowac make full-hydraulic compact, dual post in ground lifts. Are there any advantages to these over the top end Mohawk's and Rotary's? They're clearly more expensive but I just can't imagine one failing in...

I'm going to put up a building and I'm looking at Morton. However, I just understand putting wood beams, pressure treated or not, directly in the ground. I thought putting wood in the ground was to be avoided at all cost. That's why they make concrete foundations. How do these buildings avoid...

Oh what a slippery slope. I got a decent air compressor, now I'm shopping for a lift. My wife says, "why don't you put up a bigger garage for the boat and RV?". Oh lord...now I've got a Morton building catalog. I really need to educate myself about all of this. There are so many options that...

So I've been investigating which lift to get and probably posting it here ad nauseam. I do that. I investigate purchases to the point where the manufacturer has likely thought about putting a hit out on me. There's just no doubt that Mohawk and Rotary are the best but we're talking Ferrari...

So I'm going with a lift and I have a 10'6" 0r about 127"'s to the ceiling. I have the typical automatic garage door paraphernalia running down the middle. I kept thinking, what the heck am I going to do with that stuff? Why can't I just remove it and make the door manual? The only down side...

So I finally got a pretty decent air compressor. Ultimately I'll get a blasting cabinet etc. I have a CP Impact gun I'm happy with and an IR ratchet that I wish was a bit more powerful but hey, it works. So I have a friend who works at Boeing. I was yapping at him the other day and mentioned...
