    Which way? ****** jack or adapter on floor jack?

    Glad to hear you sprung for the 2k it is pretty nice to jack it all the way up and sit on a stool when working on it. no need to get it on a bench. just roll a service cart next to you to hold your parts, tools, and cocktail

    Paver driveways?

    I would recommend staying away from pavers, they are very high maintenance as compared to stamped concrete and very labor intensive especially on high traffic driveways.

    things need to do before sheetrock

    not sure if your planning on a security/camera system but now is the time to kick that around. also if you plan on a chain/electric hoist or something similar you may want to frame that in and get a plug nearby

    Best designed working shop you've been in?

    I built a shop for a guy years ago and always liked his set up. he had two tall doors on each end and had smaller doors on each side. no matter what was going on in the shop there was always a way to get access in or out for anything regardless of what delivery showed up or what projects were...

    What to do with forklift blades?

    I have made anvils and pry bars out of them, also used them for the cutter head on log splitters and used a set for door security bars in an old shop, but since you got them for free I would probably sell them.

    Which way? ****** jack or adapter on floor jack?

    I bought the 2k pounder for one reason and it has been a blessing. after I pull the trans and get out from under the rig I can jack that sucker all the way up and work on it while sitting in my short roller stool.
