Hey guys, I wired up my two-post lift for the required 220V single-phase voltage just as described in this video: Confirmed I have 220V across my two hot leads, and triple-checked I wired it just as the video shows. However, when I press the up button, the contactor just buzzes and the motor...

Installing VCT in the garage. I have a 30’ floor grate drain that I was just going to run the tile up to. This means the tile will sit proud 1/8” in that area. Would it be enough to bevel the edges that are against the drain to prevent chipping? Or should I use something else?

Manufacturer of my lift calls for "N 46" hydraulic fluid. All I seem to be able to find is AW 46. This should be OK, right? Same viscosity, but it just includes some anti-wear additives if I understand correctly.

Lured by a Amazon $500 gift card that I had, I succumbed and bought a cheap Chinese-made two-post clear floor lift (in this case an Aston Tech AL-100RH, though there seem to be quite a few of these same lifts with just different paint colors and brand names). The Amazon seller was the...

Plan to spend some time on finishing the garage this winter now that the new house we built is finally done. Painting, VCT floors, etc. It's a bit under 1700 sq ft. All of the stem walls are ~18" high or so, and were poured 8" thick vs 6" thick framing above, so there's a 2" lip of exposed...

I'm ready for a lift. My primary need is for working on my cars, but as my collection grows an extra storage spot would be nice. The only company I can seem to find that makes a two-post that also is designed to store cars is Mohawk. I don't know much about them, and am struggling to find...

Hope this is OK here... Have a 8-9 year old MS 290 I bought new. Low hours overall. Put about 3 hours on it two weeks ago where it worked fine, went to start it the other day and...nothing. I thought I had no spark (because I was trying to ground out the plug on the carb instead of the...

I had the plumbers rough in for a utility sink in the attached garage of the house I'm building. I'd love to find a sink large enough that I can fit a full wheel/tire in it to clean properly (so up to, say 30" diameter). Anyone know where to find something that large? All the "extra large" ones...

I know my local building inspector will have the final say, but has anyone seen these separator/drain combinations from Rockford? https://www.rkfdseparators.com/garage-drains/sd-series I'm going to be starting a new build shortly and would really like floor drains. While I don't plan on...

Hi guys, just joined up to get some opinions and info on my new project. I'm building a new house. For cost purposes, I'd like to keep the garage UNDER the house. I bought some home design layout software and have tried a few different layouts. Currently, I have the garage at 48'x40' (12'...
