I have a Forward DP07A lift I purchased used (currently in storage) and I was also considering installing it 'backwards' so the control unit was on the driver's side. The installation manual (which I found on the web) indicates the controller should be on the right (passenger) side, but doesn't...

Thanks....I had been thinking of posting details...but was waiting until things were complete - which they are not (various construction and weather delays). But I'll give an update: After much discussion with my concrete guy, and the varying advice here I had the slab poured with an overall...

If you're looking for a bulletproof (pun intended) high capacity home generator, take a look at the ex-military diesel units (which will also run on heating oil). You can buy them at govt auctions, and there's also some specialists. I've got an MEP003a which runs the house, well pump, sewer lift...

Agreed. It looks like I need 204 ¾" total (7 cabinets, 6 joints). I think I will achieve that by slotting the bolt holes in the 'tabs' where the beams join the posts...1/4" at each end (and perhaps drill one extra hole through both post tab and beam once in position to keep everything from...

Thanks...exactly what I need to know.

I probably don't have 2" to play with (because the mezzanine wouldn't fit in the building, and that center post is fairly critical due to the 1/2 bath plumbing etc next to it. I've spent the day today playing with steel, and test fitting. It looks like the gap is actually 1/4" larger than the...

I'd really like to have the mezzanine up before the cabinets arrive - I'm running out of space to store stuff, and I'd hate to damage them..... - I am considering not fastening the end post to the floor until I have the cabinets in place. If I've slotted the holes where connecting beam is...

Thanks - exactly what I needed. Today I did a 'test' assembly of the mezzanine posts/connecting beam and it looks like I have 204¼” gap between the posts currently (which is ¼" more than NewAge spec. I've decided I will 'slot' the holes on the post tabs so that that becomes more like 204½" or...

Hi, I've purchased a set of NewAge Pro Cabinets, which according to their website will have a total width of 204" (17') They are: - 1 Locker (36") - 6 Wall Lockers (28" x 6 = 168') Total 36"+168" = 204" The question I have for anyone who has NewAge cabinets is how exact/accurate are their...

Agreed - but I just wanted to be certain (and warn others - that keeps coming up when I enter "New Age Cabinets" or Products (I hate 'autocomplete' in browsers...

Good suggestion :) - I just sent them a message via their FB page.

I'm planning on buying cabinets from NewAge with the Black Friday savings. When I search I keep finding this site https://www.newageprostore.com/garage/page/4/ I am assuming this is a scam (using photos/products from the genuine https://newageproducts.com/collections/garage-sets/ - but I...

Fingers crossed I win the xtape1! 🤞

Yes - I was incredibly impressed that he called me on a Saturday (I had placed the order late last night). He is clearly extremely concerned that his customers have an optimal experience. Luckily I have a small area (where a 1/2 bath is going) where I can pretty much test anything (because...

Thanks - I had already read that; it was pretty much what convinced me to try this approach. Michael from Concrete Sealers called me this morning (after I'd placed an order for 1 Qt to use in testing). I was very impressed with his concerns that TS210 would be right product for my application...

My 2,000 sq ft pole barn floor is curing, and in a couple of weeks time I plan to seal it with TS210 The finish is power troweled, very smooth but not glossy (photo below) However, I'd like to add some color to the floor before sealing it. Can anyone recommend a product to apply before the...

For some reason I stopped getting email updates on this thread, so I didn't see the last two or three messages. Just wanted to thank everyone for their input - obviously there were a lot of different opinions on what I should be doing, and a wide variety of experience and background. All the...

I think you mean 'heating'.... The answer is probably no - at least not for the first winter, though I plan to heat it in the future. The mezzanine is not going to be attached to the walls.

Thanks.... I have pretty much decided there will be no footings/thicker pad under the mezzanine. However I'm trying to understand Fb ("Flexural Stress") in the spreadsheet above. It looks like that is a problem (though I note that you have also been very conservative (highly loaded) the...

You're starting to convince me I don't want the footings... I decided to take a slightly more realistic look at the live load. If I put 3 complete 4,000lb cars on the 17x17 section (plus a 3,500lb dead weight for the mezzanine itself) , and used the 'all weight on one column' simplification I'm...
