    Educate me on garage door openers

    actually, i think we're going to polish the garage pole ... should polish to a nice sheen rather easily, then get some clear coat on it. ;) A lift won't come anytime soon, unfortunately, so I think i'll wait on the high-lift rails, unless my garage door guy will cut me a deal. We'll have to...

    Educate me on garage door openers

    Good to know. Thanks!! I plan on having them put a torsion spring on that side. I don't like the extension springs at all. What's a reasonable charge to have the extension springs removed & a torsion installed, any idea? They're there, I promise.

    any tips for bolting an air compressor to the floor?

    awesome. thanks, guys. do you recommend bolting it straight to the floor, or should i have some sort of padding (hockey pucks?) in between the floor & the legs? i have a bunch of pucks sitting around, so sourcing them isn't an issue. any links to a remote drain?

    Anyone tried the MOTIVE POWER BLEEDER?

    works great. i've had one for years. never could get it to work right with the "block-style" adapter that was used for the master cylinder on my Jeep Wrangler. other than that, with the screw-on master cylinders, it has worked great.

    Survey with Prize - What Interior Socket Color?

    I chose "does not matter", and made a tie between it and silver. I suppose silver looks better, but i really don't see what the inside color would matter. ?? (my first post in 2.5 years, btw) ;)
