Every time we open the gate to our property, the upper pin will rotate, which causes the gate to sag. I've tightened the nuts (both on the front and the back) on the pin through the 6x6 post, but it does little good. How can I keep the gate pin perfectly vertical?

Thank you all for the great suggestions and the pictures. Can't wait till it gets here next month. One thing I forgot to purchase was a sliding jack. Anybody got any good recommendations?

All those air gaps you have....they will all be gone after they have foamed the interior. That building will be as tight as a drum! I had mine done a couple of months ago and I can attest to the excellent sealing ability of the foam. I used to have issues with mice and insects getting into the...

I've got an engine hoist and a tractor. I should be able to make it work but since I'm confined to a 36x40 inside area, I don't know if that is enough room to maneuver around with a tractor...

Yes, I worked with Tony as well. Please keep us informed of your progress.

I have the skills and maybe the tools, like my tractor to pick up the heavy pieces, but I may just let them install it.

Actually I put a $1K deposit on a DX-9000HD to be delivered in January. Got some things to do in the shop before it gets here. Since they are at Mecum right now, I got $200 off the price. Additionally, since I live on a farm and have a farm card, I don't have to pay sales tax, which saves me a...

Thanks!

Thanks. Good to know a name so I can deal with him directly. Did you purchase any additional hardware with your lift, such as a rolling jack?

Much appreciated Garry!

Getting ready to order a lift, but I've got to add a dedicated AC receptacle for it. I contacted Advantage lifts, interested in their DX-9000 lift. Was surprised to find out that I cannot wire their 120V motors for 240V. If I want a 240V connection, I have to either buy a bigger lift or upsize...

There is a guy here locally that has a larger shop than mine that is running a Rheem unit. Going to try to see if I can see his installation before I decide what to do. Agree on having it off the floor, though... The Hot Dawg unit has an 80% efficiency whereas the Rheem unit has a 92%...

Good points indeed!

I have a 36x42 shop fully insulated (ceiling & walls)with closed cell foam. Walls are 12 foot high with an open ceiling at the moment. Immediate plan is to install a tin ceiling with R30 batts above the tin. Walls will at some point be covered with either drywall or some type of wood product. I...

Bummer. I had mine for at least 5 years. Worked fine right out of the box. Never had a problem in all that time. Maybe you got a dud. Hope customer support can help you out. Now that they've changed hands, I don't know..... Best of luck to you.

Installer called me this morning. They are coming out tomorrow to have a look. This is a good sign. Don't know what they can do, but we will see... I don't know the brand of foam they used. If I remember to ask, I will.

I am pretty sure the cracking and popping noises are directly attributed to the 1 inch thermax panels that were originally on the underside of the roof. They sprayed over these with the closed cell foam. I've left a voice mail for the company that did the foam insulation to see if they have a...

Another sore point of contention with me is about the same issue you raise here. With a 12 foot span between trusses, there is not much I can do..

Whatever Morton warranty there is on this building only applies to the original purchaser, for which I am not. So, warranty issues for me is a moot point. Warranty issues aside, when I originally inquired about insulating my shop, the majority of people posted here recommended closed cell foam...
