Welcome to the forum from S.E. Wisconsin where it MIGHT hit 70 degrees today, if we are lucky that is.

OK, I will try to get some pictures tomorrow. I posted pictures when I first put the tiles down, but that was a long time ago. I won't be able to show you the floor in the whole garage, way too many tools and woodworking equipment in the way for that, but I can show you the floor tiles on at...

Here is the video, took me a little while to locate it. The young lady in the video is my oldest daughter. Since I took this video I have put up drywall and I have anchored the two vertical pipes to the studs with some heavy flat metal making them much more solid and they do not move at all...

I built a two-story garage and the top part is for storage. I made a lift and put it in my garage using a winch and a platform I built riding on two vertical pipes. It works great, I put all sorts of items up there to include my snowblower and an extra full size table saw. With the lift...

If it were me, I would buy a new one rather than buying a used one. Not saying used is a bad thing, but for the cost difference between a new lift and a used lift, for what you save you will end up doing an awful lot of work. Additionally, depending on where the used lift is, you may have to...

If you look at post number 26 and click on the link you will see the shelving I mentioned and the current price is there are well. The shelving has four shelves rather than three shelves, but other than that the shelving is exactly the same. All the shelves are adjustable and can be changed...

I don't understand how anyone can say that building shelves from wood is cheap, at least not these days. A 4X8 sheet of half inch OSB is well over $40 and 2X4's are over $6 each. Personally, I would say buying metal shelving is a better choice, and for several reasons. One, the shelving is...

I have four of these shelving units, although mine have four shelves instead of only three shelves. I paid the same price though, $249 each. Best thing I ever bought for storing stuff off the floor. They are solid as a rock and will hold up an awful lot of weight. A friend of mine built some...

You must have one heck of a big garage. None of my business, but why would you want to store feed and bags of cement in your garage? Wouldn't a barn or a storage shed be a more appropriate place to store items like that? As for myself, I have a 24X36 garage and I do mostly woodworking in my...

I have Racdeck diamond flooring inmy garage, but I don't have anything that weighs 9,000 pounds to drive on it. I drive our cars in the garage from time to time to do change the oil, rotate tires, things like that. i have turned the front wheels on the tile floor and there was no damage...

A lot of things have been mentioned as positives about a Racedeck floor, but there is one other thing I would like to add. Sometimes in the Winter months I need to work on one of our vehicles. When I have the vehicle in our heated garage and need to lay on the floor to get under the vehicle...

I have Ridgid cordless tools and I like them very much. One of the reasons I went with the Ridgid brand is because they lifetime warranty not only the tool, but they lifetime warranty the batteries as well. Not too long ago I had a Ridgid battery that would not take a charge. I could have...

I am totally confused, please enlighten me. I have never taken a Ryobi battery pack or a Ryobi cordless tool apart so I have no idea what is inside either one. Are we talking about board failure in the battery pack, or board failure in the tool itself?

Night and day difference! I have the Diamond tiles in my garage/workshop and I really like them. No question about it, epoxy is nice, but requires so much more prep. Putting down the Racedeck tiles is simple and straight forward and if I should wreck a tile or two I can replace them quickly...

Everyone working there is very friendly and they will let you into their shop and give you a tour. You can see how they do things and they usually have the machines running so you can watch them sharpening blades. Watching the hi-tech German sharpening machines to me is VERY fascinating...

If you have steel blades (not carbide) I can sharpen them but I do not have the capability to do carbide blades. I have sharpened many blades over the years for a lot of people and they work really well. But these days not many people want to use steel blades, everyone wants carbide blades, so...

I used to have a timing light and a dwell meter, still have them although I have no clue as to where they are. Not real sure what I would do with them even if I knew where they were. They are, essentially, a product of bygone days.

The more I think about your situation, the more I am convinced that you should keep the land and forget about any easement for a road. I have the feeling that at some point in the future you will regret ever having sold the land and the road easement will turn into a nightmare beyond belief...

I am totally confused. Where does this road go? I know you said you were selling some property and you were allowing a road to put in, presumably so the buyer can access the property. But several questions come to mind. Is this road going to lead to a house? Is it just hunting property that...

If it were me I would want it removed. But since you want to keep it, I would build a little ramp on each side of it, that way it won't be as much of a "trip hazard' as what it is now.
