    Tool/storage room???

    I have the 70's ourdoor utility room with a wall that has an adjoining door to the garage. It actually works out great. I borrowed from here and installed a "whole house" vacuum in the little "utility room". The compressor is there also, and there's still room for a small workbench and stool. I...

    Fold down tables for HF cabinet

    Here's the link for the tables...Wayfair is the site. http://www.wayfair.com/Sunex-Side-Work-Bench-For-8013A-8004-IEN1145.html the tables are rated to 30 LBS. They feel like they'd handle it pretty well. I wouldn't have any worries for putting a starter, etc. on them.

    Fold down tables for HF cabinet

    Re: Fold down tables for HF cabinet (other mods added) Updated the chest with a few more mini-mods. I've added a couple hooks on the back for easy storage of my Ex-Cel creeper manufactured in Decatur, AR. Not shown in this picture is also a power strip added between the two rear fold down...

    How long before parking on porcelain tile floor

    Thanks. For me it was not wanting to pull everything out all at once. I could easily do half, let it set, and then move everything over to the other side to finish. I was more thinking that if it takes a week for concrete to set up to 90% strength it may take just as long for mortar considering...

    How long before parking on porcelain tile floor

    Quick question...going to put down porcelain in the garage with Kerabond/Keralastic mortar. How long after setting the tiles before a car could be parked on it? I plan on tiling a bit at a time so as not to lose much functionality in the garage, and then after the tiles have all been set, coming...

    Digital entrance locks

    Schlage here on the house and one garage entrance. Love them! After my son lost his second key, I made the switch and wouldn't be without them now. Great for when the neighbor needs access, etc. One call and access granted. Disposable codes are good, but i wish they'd automatically time out...

    Latex additive under porcelain in garage

    I'm getting ready to put down porcelain in a 20' X 20' garage in the Memphis, TN area. The garage is used for some motorcycles (not much weight), one car, and general shop use mostly of maintenence and repair of vehicles. No heavy duty welding/banging/machinery involved other than the rolling...

    Fold down tables for HF cabinet

    Here is a final update for the folding tables to the HF chest. Turned out really well. I riveted the vertical plates of the tables to the chest. The tables had a "flat" lip that overhangs the top edge of the chest, and I rounded these down with a hammer and then covered the chipped paint with...

    Fold down tables for HF cabinet

    Yes. It has some pre-cut holes for mounting at the top. Of course they don't match up to the HF cabinet handle holes, but that's nothing a drill won't fix. The vertical plate has two dimples towards the bottom to make it stand out about a 1/4" from the box. I think a couple holes drilled and a...

    Fold down tables for HF cabinet

    I found these in Wayfair for $25.00 each. It's going to take a little fab work to get three of them mounted to the HF cabinet, but I thought it would be a nice perch for the laptop when running diagnositics on vehicles, as well as a place to rest manuals, etc while working. The top metal lip...

    Scan XL scan tool review

    Anyone have experience with this scan software, and more specifically the enhanced versions for Ford? I've been shopping around, and would need enhanced options for both Ford and GM. With that, it seems to be the best as far as price as compared to AutoEnginuity, but I would like some user...

    electric pressure washers?

    I have a Greenworks 1.4GPM 1700 PSI from Lowes for $179.00. The first one lasted about 7 months with 3 months of that being not used in the winter. It was kept in the heated garage. There was a small plastic fitting that failed under pressure. I returned it to Lowes and then re-purchased the...

    Motorcycle lift jack or Table?

    I do all the service on the bikes as well as repairs as needed. Three bikes total. Still, I'm not working on them all that often. Seems like 2-3 times per year each bike. That's oil changes, valve adjust, carb work, wheels/brakes, and the like. I worry about such a large size committment for the...

    Motorcycle lift jack or Table?

    I'm torn between a full motorcyle lift table, or a high lift jack. Looking at Harbor Freight equipment. They have the High Lift Jack that will raise a motorcycle over 1K pounds up 30". this is the 2 arm jack that goes underneath the frame and raises the balanced bike up with both tires free. I...

    Honda HR215SXA mower and Harbor Freight

    It's definitely getting the rebuild. I love the old mower and for the cutting I do, a rebuild would get me by for many years to come. I'd considered the HF motor as a measure that would let me do the rebuild on my terms as summer is here, but I may just do the "one day" rebuild and be done with...

    Honda HR215SXA mower and Harbor Freight

    I posted this in the General forum; but no luck...hoping it will fair better here. I have a very old Honda HR215SXA and the motor is smoking pretty badly now. The mower is close to 25 years old and still starts first pull however. My plan is to try a Harbor Freight motor on it while I order...

    AutoEnginuity OE-Level Software

    Just to make sure I'm looking at the right package for a Ford line of products. I'm a little confused with the "pro-line" terminology as I don't see it mentioned in the "Ford Bundle" package. Same thing? Here is where I'm looking. If I'm breaking rules for the link I apologize. Not advertizing...

    AutoEnginuity OE-Level Software

    Quick question for the AE Users. I've been looking at the Ford bundle to maintain and troubleshoot two mountaineers, 1997 and 2003. At 359.00 to 399.99 to read, diagnose, and test I didn't think it was too bad for the price versus functionality. I've been doing research, including here, but with...

    What's the temperature in your 'GARAGE' ?

    Set to a comfortable 65 here. Mild winters, but today it's been a very cold 30. I keep one oil-filled radiator space heater going and it's been plenty. The garage is well insulated though. Most times the heater cycles between "off" and the lowest setting. Today, it's on medium. By some local KPH...
