    Interior building/shop paint?

    I wanted to do a two tone paint on the wall, bottom 4-5ft being grey and the top being off-white. Another issue I need some opinions on is keeping the block clean and dry, the west wall of the building is built into a hill. I wanted to apply a coat of kilz on that lower wall to keep water out...

    Atlas or Danmar lifts?

    The lifts that will be replaced are a 7,000lb Benwil asymmetrical that was installed new in 1984-85 and a Globe 9,000lb symmetric that was installed new in 1989-90. I have used both lifts for years and just frankly hate both of them. Its time for some new units.

    Interior building/shop paint?

    Need opinions on what you guys are using for a good, heavy duty interior paint and primer. Some info on the building, its a block building built in 1970.

    Atlas or Danmar lifts?

    The comments still seem positive towards the Atlas units. Another reason I was looking into these is because where I work, we are suppliers for both of these companys and I can get both lifts for well under $2,000 a piece.

    Atlas or Danmar lifts?

    Ill look into Direct too, I knew Atlas wasn't ALI certified but have heard decent reviews on here. Im in the process of renovating an old auto repair shop and the lifts are in ok condition just very old, id rather start with 2 fresh units.

    Atlas or Danmar lifts?

    Just looking for opinion on these two lifts. I have been in the field wrenching for near 10 years now and have worked with multiple different brands of lifts but these two are new to me. For what im working with right now a Rotary or Challenger is just out of my price range. I have got it...

    Restored 1970's Auto Repair Shop (Larry & Toms)

    The shop is in NY. About an hour south of Rochester. When I finished high school in 2005 I wanted to get involved in wrenching but had no interest in the family business at the time (long story). So I left and gave NC a try. Years later im a homeowner in NC with a steady fulltime job and the...
