Re: Cadillac of Creepers from Griot's Wow! That looks like it came out of a dentists office.

That NAPA one looks like the one to have...especially if I end up with a MaxJax

No plans to move. Also, if the county decided that the building didn't add so much. Maybe the property tax wouldn't go up that much....

So I'm really set on a building by a quality builder like Morton. 45x40x16? Height determined by car lift (Mohawk), RV & Sailboat. Perma-Columns, 6" rebar concrete floor. All other details up for discussion. I have something over an acre of ground and the garage would be behind the house and...

That's a really good looking garage and it looks in proportion. Is that just because the dimensions work or is it the porch that breaks things up and make it look less than a giant sqare billboard.?

I don't want the garage to look good dimensionally as it will be in my back yard area. I want the garage to add to he value of the property, not detract from it.

That's a good point about the building codes but I live in a pretty rural area. You know, a development that has a couple of acres per in yuppy heaven. I'll check anyway. The county has a way of extracting money from us suckers in the most unusual way. I had to pay for a drainage ditch at the...

I have a 30' RV and 30' sailboat. Both are about 11' high. I also want to put in a car lift and park a car in there. What size are we talking about, 45' wide, 40' deep and 12' high? I'm not sure how high the ceiling has to be to accommodate the typical car/truck on a lift. I don't want a ****...

Brother that is smart and cheap! I have a drill press so drilling a perfectly vertical hole is a cinch. Along with all the others suggestions I feel kinda dumb for asking such a question. Using a center punch and the plate template to start with. gnxtc2...I would love to have that drill guide...

So if I go with a MaxJax I need to drill all the holes as accurately as possible. I've read people have had issues with the air hammer drill walking or drilling at less than vertical angles. Has anyone tried to use a drill guide? Because if they have I'm curious where they got one for a air...

If he can't sell it to you he likely can't sell it to anyone else. That is a good bit of leverage. Your only choice would be to refi your current home with a cash out. 4.25% with excellent credit.

I'm so confused I think I need counseling and Xanex. I've gone back and forth from a 40x40x14 Morton steel building with a 6" rebar floor and Perma-Columns and a Mohawk lift to clearing out my garage and putting in a MaxJax. The difference between $40,000 and a mortgage and writing a check for a...

I'm mostly convinced that the only full size lift that would fit in my garage would me a Mohawk A7 due to width problems. It shows a range from 105 to 125. I'm not sure exactly what gets wider or narrower but I can't afford it anyway. The MaxJax is 105" wide so it should be fine....my question...

If it's 3 phase you're screwed but Quincy is likely the best compressor made....and this is coming from someone who has an Ingersoll-Rand

I'm not worried about the height. I have 10' 6". (126") So height is not a problem for the correct lift. Now I'm worried about the width. I have a two car garage. Each door is 8'8" with 20" between the two. The side where the lift has to go is 15" from the door opening to the wall. So if I put...

Everyone keeps asking what the best car lift is. I don't need the best. I'd like Mohawk, not happening. I just need one that one won't turn me in into circus dwarf. Is there one that's safe and a good value for the money? Carve out the ones you wouldn't be caught dead under...or actually would...

Sometime you can get better deal if you buy two higher dollar items at the same place. I'm sold on Miller welders. But I can't seem to find a store that sells both. Yeah, I know, I'm being as cheap as it goes.

I'm so seriously looking at a Morton Building using Perma-Column's my ears are beading. Budget is always the problem. I need 6inch floor for the car lift. That may be a little over kill but I like over kill. The building needs to be in the 40' to 45' range with tall walls as I have an RV and...

I can see where a single tube would be a real pain but these are two posts. It's really difficult to judge which give more access to the car, the traditional asymmetrical dual post lift or the dual post in ground. It would seem that the in ground 2 post lifts are really stable and pretty much...

I didn't realize they still made in-ground lifts but it seems both Rotary and Mantowac make full-hydraulic compact, dual post in ground lifts. Are there any advantages to these over the top end Mohawk's and Rotary's? They're clearly more expensive but I just can't imagine one failing in...
