Outstand answers, thanks guys! I tried the CLR and indeed, almost no effect. I'll try the Wink rust remover next. Yes, probably not in the tank as that may damage some of the float/levers

Here's a shot of a toilet in the shop. No, it's not what you think it it, it appears to be rust or something. This toilet is used very infrequently so I'm suspecting it's from the water just sitting in it for long periods of time. Any suggestions on how to clean it? CLR perhaps? It doesn't...

I like it. The box section tubing "should" minimise parallel folding but I'd still like to see the load rating and method of testing. The cars I work on definitely have limited number of secure jacking points and this qualifies as a "two-fer" in that regard. I find that I jack up the car from...

What kind of rolling stool are you using and how high is it? Looks like I've got similar headroom issues in that it's going to be pretty tight under my largest vehicle to move around. How high are you ceilings (sorry, I've read the whole thread but don't remember you mentioning it)?

I have one of these and use it for a lot of the reasons listed above. http://www.staples.com/Ledu-Professional-Fluorescent-Clamp-On-Magnifying-Lamp-Black-L745BK-/product_493022 Why do you ask?

Just finished catching up, excellent job! I'm probably going to have to do this to my garage floor too for my lift. Did you measure/mark where the re-bar is so that you didn't hit it when you drilled the holes for the lift hold down bolts?

That is exactly my concern with the ratchet jack stands. :shocking: There is another thread around here discussing jack stands and the comment was that, with the weight of the vehicle on the stand, the ratchet is jammed/wedged in position and so won't come out. I have always had a tough time...

I can't believe nobody's brought these guys up. Stunner equipment! http://www.bigassfans.com/

^^^^^ Yes, my dad had a set of these too, and one of the horizontal pieces broke too. Withouth corrosion so I don't trust them either. I use these https://www.pepboys.com/product/details/9316470/01639 I like the pin and flat base, I try to never jack up a car on anything other than a level...

That's really cool! I probably would have used that if I hadn't finally sorted it all out. Thanks! Actually, yes I do. For instance, all the power and wiring to my shop is code as well as everything in it. I did it myself and had a code electricial buddy check it all out. I just couldn't...

I'm familiar with ghost voltage. We had it in a gas turbine/compressor package we had offshore. All the cabling from the front of the package was tied together and routed to the rear of the package. I remembe we had 125 volts on a supposed dead buss (can't remember if it was AC or DC). Gave...

We just upgraded our cable system to HD so each TV now needs its own decoder box. The CRT TV in the master bathroom used to be in a recess in the upper wall using a GFI receptacle and a coaxial plug. When we had the bathroom remodeled, we put in a flat screen at the same location and covered...

Yanet Garcia? What station?

I've just recently finished building a shop extension. We went full subdivision height so we could have a rooftop patio and that left me with a really high inside ceiling. Not quite enough for a two story but high for one story. So I installed a storage mezzanine the length of one wall. This...

The Arlo appears to be what I'm thinking about. It actvates on motion which saves the batteries but I can't tell if it can be activated manually. Thanks for the feedback!

Do any exist that don't require actually plugging in the camera to a 120V outlet? The specs generally reference something like 500mA and mention "adapters" so I'm assuming it's something like the charger on a phone. I realise the "wireless" part referes to the camera signal back to the...

Where are you located? I'm looking for a two post lift. What brand?

Me too. There seems to be a number of threads on it. Put this into the search line of Google advantage lifts site:http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/

Absolutely. Coffee in hand on the weekend mornings. A large glass of wine (or hard cider in the summer) and the national news on the TV when I knock off in the evening. My wife calls it "the stand-arounds". I call it "planning my next move". I've actually thought up some good stuff doing that

I go out of my way to buy locally. I've negotiated a discount with my local motorcycle dealer and one with the local car dealer (I have a classic BMW that I can still get parts for!). Both work out exceptionally well as I can get hard to find parts without any difficulty. Service, when I...
