    The Hover Creeper

    Okay. I just got a quick and short response from Kirk regarding the product. Essentially he indicated the product became too expensive and therefore has been retired.... Too bad. I would have like to have tried one..

    The Hover Creeper

    I know this is an old thread, but I found the idea of a Hover Creeper online. It appears that Matco Tools was supposed to be marketing this item, but as you know, it is in not in their catalog. Of course, this is an idea that was going to be produced some 12-13 years ago. I did find that it...

    Shower body installed too deep. HELP!

    Sounds like you have a solution in hand at the moment by using an extension. I would have punched a hole in the wall behind the shower and relocated the shower valve to the appropriate distance so your existing handle would work. Then you just fix the drywall behind the shower valve and you're...

    Vehicle Positioning with a MaxJax - What a Pain!

    Good info OLYTDY. Thanks... Bottom line, setting up a car on any lift is going to take work. You can't rush it no matter what you do. My primary issue is jockeying several different types of vehicles requires more work than anticipated. My fault.. I have re-thought my predicament and...

    Vehicle Positioning with a MaxJax - What a Pain!

    Bill - you must be stronger than me or maybe I've just gotten weaker over the years. Last year I had a 2000 Montero in the shop that just about killed me to move it back and forth. Now maybe that is because it sat in one place for about 6 months and moving it was almost a gut buster...

    Vehicle Positioning with a MaxJax - What a Pain!

    A good suggestion, would fix the centering problem if you hit it right the first time, but pushing a vehicle back and forth is an issue, especially on a RaceDeck floor and when you have a 4000lb + vehicle, it is not as easy as you think. Plus there is the issue with the arm locks and the lack of...

    Vehicle Positioning with a MaxJax - What a Pain!

    Probably won't go with a 4 post due to the sheer size of the apparatus. Most likely will go with something with less ability, like a Quick Jack. Still undecided at the moment. No hurry..

    Vehicle Positioning with a MaxJax - What a Pain!

    I bought mine during a group buy, so they were cheaper at the time. My ceiling is 9 foot, so it was a contributing factor on selection. Portability wasn't an issue as mine is permanently fixed. As far as centering is concerned - I'm **** about getting things right. I've noticed if I don't that...

    Vehicle Positioning with a MaxJax - What a Pain!

    Sigh... I've had my Maxjax for maybe 5 years now and I have lifted a variety of vehicles from the smallest (Miata) to a Ridgeline and most everything in between. In all that time, my biggest gripe has been with positioning/centering a vehicle to lift it. Now, maybe I'm just a dummy, but I...

    Beautiful house. Love the screened in porch and I see you went to the trouble to fold the toilet paper just right! :lol_hitti

    What do you guys think about this tub surround?

    We installed a Vikrell shower (36x36) some 20 odd years ago. 3 wall pieces and a shower pan. In those 20 years of using it almost daily between my wife and I, we never had a single problem. Easy installation, but over time the white color yellowed just a bit and I could never get it back to that...

    Roof Decking Question for Roofers

    Much appreciated for all your inputs. I will try to address your questions… TechShield doesn't come in plywood. TechShield has a radiant barrier, this is why I am choosing it to try and reduce the attic temps in the summer. The suggestion of doubling up and adding new decking over existing...

    Roof Decking Question for Roofers

    Thanks for your input. It is appreciated. To answer your query, would like to meet code, but the extra expense is bothersome. It is already costing me $12K out of my pocket to have the house decked/roofed.

    Roof Decking Question for Roofers

    I'm having the roof decking replaced with 7/16" TechShield and architectural shingles on my ranch house. Here is my concern… The roof pitch is 4/12 slope. The rafter spacing is 24 inches. Currently it has 3/8" decking (this is what they used on my house when it was built in 1972). A square of...
