    New garage door opener and potentially spring upgrade, some questions please.

    If you are concerned about the doors staying open an inexpensive option is to install Wyze sensors on the doors. They will alert you via text message when the door is open for x amount of minutes. About $20 and no monthly fees. Wyxe Labs

    Air Compressor hose, whip hose, and connector set up questions

    I converted all of my fittings to 1/4" or 3/8" high-flow regardless of the application. When I recently re-did my air system the air pressure held at 150psi for 4 weeks. YEAH ! ! Eventually, there developed tiny leaks that my OCD had trouble with. Still working on that..............

    12 AWG, 15amp Breaker, 14 AWG pigtails

    Dammm I'm currently working on a house built in 1952. Various sizes all over the place. Found #12 in some places. A ***** to jam in the tiny old metal box when there is a #12 coming in and a #12 going out and they used HUGE wire nuts. Some circuits are on a 20 amp breaker and someone added...

    Old house wiring outlets wiggling

    So, my son recently bought a house built in 1952. Replacing the outlets and switches. Some are 2-wire and some are 3-wire. Anyway, over the years the boxes and the wall material have been whittled away to the point that the mounting hardware ears for the outlets and switches no longer touch...

    BendPak New GrandPrix 4-Post Lift - No Air Required

    The jack tray for a bottled jack is useless on my HD-9 which is set to the wide configuration. I bought the manual rolling jack from Advantage. There was not a drop of lubrication on any moving part. Some bolts were never tightened. One of the assemblers's used a BFH to intall a shaft...

    What jackshaft garage door opener to get?

    I set mine up some time ago so I've mentally lost some details. I have the app on my phone to open/close/check status. I have the magic box on the nightstand that gives me the open/closed status and I can close it from there as well if needed. No issues with those features.

    Lift modifications Thread- Lets see them!

    Yep ! ! That is why I would not have a two-post with the trip hazard. I need to make some lighter weight ramps for my HD-9. My finance department has refused to buy the foam ones and Santa Clause seems to be a tight-wade lately.

    Advantage 4-Post lifts accessory question

    I did not know they existed. Bookmarked for enhanced accessories. :beer: I actually bought the Advangate bridge jack. Fits and does what I need. I will post some pics of things that I had to do to it for my OCD of maintenance.

    What jackshaft garage door opener to get?

    Not long ago I did see another manufacturer of residential jackshaft opener. Don't remember much else. LiftMaster and Chamberlain are the same. I believe that they also rebrand to other names. I've had mine for 3 years with no issues. That 16' door is our primary in/out of the house.

    Fire Extinguisher

    Huuuummm......Found this comment on Amazon: Question: Can this be used in car Shop / garage working on cars? Answer: It can, but I would recommend a different dry chemical for a car shop. Around vehicles, I'd recommend an extinguisher based on potassium bicarbonate, sold under the name "Purple...

    Workbench depth

    Lots of good info here in such a short time.....typical GJ. I'd rather have drawers under the bench for my common stuff than constantly reaching to the back wall. A side note, use a solid core door as you bench top. Cut it down to size. I found mine at Lowes at the scratch-n-dent section in...
