    Floor thickness for 2 post lift.

    Thanks guys, a few bucks now can prevent a bad accident and a healthy expense later. Can't imagine what if would cost to cut out the concrete and do it right later. If you do it right the first time you only have to buy it once! Thanks a bunch, Mike

Also I suggest painting the walls and ceiling white or other light color to reflect the light, except in welding areas, where you can experence welding burns on your eyes. I...
