Can you just adjust the cables so that it never goes to the top lock? I had to tweak my cables so that I could get all four columns to reach the top lock. Not sure if there us enough cable for the adjustment. I just made a line on the column with a sharpie for each of my cars until I move...

The glow in the dark chips are white when the lights are on, and have a nice green glow when the lights are off. I agree that some color is needed to break things up a little. I added the glow in the dark for fun. Randy

I agree. I have two Advantage lifts, one single and one double. Compared to others, the quality is very nice and they come with the drip trays, rolling jack base, drive off plates, wheel chocks, and lightweight but heavy duty ramps. I feel much safer under the Advantage than the cheap low end...

My neighbor complained that my new shop was too big and too tall during the framing. I had all the correct permits required and the first few inspections done when she called the county. They called my contractor and made them stop work immediately until the inspector could come out that same...

I have a Carrier unit for the main level shop and a smaller unit upstairs for the kids room in the trusses. The settings will only allow me to set the temp to 62 degrees or higher when heating. I have a Modine hanging furnace so I can keep it at 48-50 all winter and rarely use the heat...

Advantage Lifts sells their 4' ramps on their website. https://www.advantagelifts.com/collections/advantage-lift-accessories/products/48-aluminum-approach-ramps They are pretty light weight, but very strong and sturdy. My double lift came with the 4' ramps and the single four post came with 3'...

I'm not sure of the intent behind your comment? I sold that lift to my friend that helped with all my lifts and he has several of his own (Advantage and Bend Pak). He was well aware of what he was buying and I gave him a smoking deal on it for helping with my installs. For what he was going...

I bought my Advantage SxS used locally and with a couple buddies we had it disassembled, moved, and reassembled in my shop with my car on it in less than 4 hours. Even with only one car on it, the lift is solid and stable. Empty, it moves easy with the casters, too. I'm very impressed with...

I requested Hooper for both builds! Him and his crew did an amazing job and accommodated my retentiveness and OCD. :thumbup: The inspector doesn’t even really check their work because they do so many buildings in the area and they do such a great job. Even the inspector likes their work. I...

I have had two built by them and love them. The best contractor experience I've ever had. So easy to work with and they know what they are doing. I'd recommend a visit to discuss your needs in person and let them help fine tune the build. The first one (32x56x14) was built in 2003 and I'm...

Spray foam may void the steel warranty if applied directly to metal. My builder required poly vapor barrier first before spray foam. I went with fiberglass, R19 walls and R38 ceiling. This is in MN, so your situation may be different. Randy

You can try passivating the parts? https://www.besttechnologyinc.com/passivation-systems/what-is-passivation/ Randy

Make sure the PEX is rated for underground service. There is a difference in indoor and outdoor plumbing lines sometimes. PEX is just a name for cross linked polyethylene and has become somewhat of a generic term for plastic tubing. Some do not have any UV protection in the resin and can...

Use HDPE for the service line and make sure it has “AWWA” in the print line. (American Water Works Association). Avoid barbed fittings and use approved underground water works brass compression fittings with SS insert stiffeners. The tubing is available in CTS copper tube size or IPS iron...

LOL. Same here. I just built a 30x40 and am torn on floor options. Randy

I'm ready for lighting in my new shop and the information seems conflicting on whether to use high bay or regular LED lights. I've tried to digest all the info on this site and I came up with about 25 of the 4" LED fixtures with the 'best bulbs' listed in the sticky thread for a well lit shop...

You can keep the Cuda at my place. :thumbup: :lol: It will have good company and I'd even blow the carbon out on weekends. :3gears: Pics of the Cuda? Randy

That is why I did this..... (Not my car, but similar set up) :thumbup: Randy

Hey D9! :hellobye: Good to see you here. :thumbup: Randy
