The business that was in the building before my neighbor was a furniture restoration shop. 100+ gallon vat of chemical for stripping wood, sawdust covered everything and old furniture stacked 10' high. In business for 10 years and a fire mashal never even came by. My neighbor has no chemicals...

Small auto repair shop. Same thing I do but I'm not a business.

The building is located in Conroe Texas, Montgomery County. Currently most of the nation uses the IBC for building code. This building was built long before the IBC standard was used. I called the fire marshal's office about grandfathering. They said that they don't use that word and nothing...

Fire marshal came by the business that I share a wall with and said that a 2 hour firewall needed to be built against the wall we share to meet code. Our shops are corrugated steel buildings on a concrete slab. Red iron beams and my shop has 3 rollup doors. They were built in the 70's. I...

Have you thought of a quonset hut?

Cool stuff. Another auction in Irvine at the end of the week. http://www.1800lastbid.com/

Think forklift. A small forklift is rated at 5000lbs and has a multiple staged hydraulic piston. So that is what you'll need for the height.

Just went there and the site was up. http://www.garagestylemagazine.com/online.html

83 pages for those that asked. I picked it up at my local Hastings. It's a music/dvd/book store.

Well it's easier to flip through on the throne than looking at this site via a laptop.:)

Thanks TEXACMAN!:thumbup: I haven't been here in a while and saw your post and said damn that's what Ive been thinking of make space in my shop! Googled the Gorilla to check pricing and reviews. Costco has the Gorilla for $169 with a coupon. Order online and that price includes shipping. Only...

I bought a 1986 model Bear engine analyzer fer cheap thinking I could have it updated for my 93 Nissan. Wrong! A couple year newer model would have worked. But it was cheap enough that I won't loose my *** on it. So that experience is still fresh and I don't wan't to have something noone will...

Thanks for the advice. One of my concerns is the age and being able to update and maintain it. The reason I need one is I have a 1960 Impala that is 18' long and lowered. It's getting harder and harder to find a place that has a machine that the car will fit on and equipment that fits in the...

I'm looking at buying a used Hunter D111 Total 4 alignment machine but have never used one. Would you need a 4 post lift or a 2 post lift to raise the car. With the 2 post would there be some kinda swivel support for the wheels? Here is the unit in question.

Here's mine.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm already doing what mike944 said. I bought 1/2x4x8 styrofoam insulation sheets from Home Depot then glued them to the steel wall with liquid nails. I figured first step was to soften the vibration. A stand alone wall is not going to work. Between a workbench and...

Looks nice. You'll want to insulate the steel behind that compressor. That motor noise will be amplified coming off that wall.

Yeah, that's good but it would cost $13,000 to do the wall using this http://www.soundprooffoam.com/foam_stop_pyramid_polyurethane.html
