I use a Hoover FloorMate with pretty good results using hot water and their detergent. I have not noticed a residue, I use the dry setting to **** up what water is left. Once in a while I use a pressure washer with a cleaner solution. A bit more mess and I need to move everything out. If parts...

What model of remote are you trying to program? Some have a program button that you need to press on the remote. http://www.liftmaster.com/CatalogResourcesV3/en-us/shared/files/tucmanuals/114A3930.pdf

As you have the 140k Reznor you should use it. It is certainly better than no heat at all. It will heat up your space quickly but you will lose a lot of heat also with no insulation. The heater will keep cycling on and off more often than a correctly sized / insulated area, if you have a...

Sterling heaters also say they are made in the US. Not sure if all components are though.

I have the Honda EU2000 combo pack, a regular 2000w inverter generator and a special companion inverter. It is available on most of the smaller Honda / Yamaha / Subaru inverter generators. I have a properly installed and inspected interlock on my panel. I used a 30A cable from the inverters...

I have a set of the GoJak 5000's that were sold on Craigslist. The guy had advertised them as the 6200, I need the extra width. :dunno: I bought them and they work great on my epoxy floor, really heavy duty. Great for moving cars around so I can cram as many cars as possible in the garage for...

Funny Matt, I did the same for instructions. Even used Dymo tape on the side of the generator on how to connect and start it..

If you are considering the Liftmaster 3800 or a jackshaft opener, dont forget to put an outlet to one side of the garage door itself.

Hi Matt, I used what you are proposing. It is safe and approved and inspected by my town. You might be best to check your state allows interlocks, some do not I believe. I have a panel interlock, a 30A dual breaker, to a 30A power inlet box (male connector pins L5-30), I use a L5-30 lead with a...

And do the same thing this guy did? http://www.countytimes.com/articles/2012/10/02/news/doc506588aabdb62668389744.txt

Wnstwolf, I noticed you said your front arms were double telescoping. The present XPR10's are triple front and double rear arms. It would most likely be costly but if it really annonying you, you could see how much it would be for the triple front arms if they fit. The present front arms are 7"...

It does not sound desirable to drive over the arms. Maybe long term damage to the arms or carriage. Maybe damage to the tires. I have a Bendpak XPR-10A narrow, maybe because it is asymmetric it possible to swing the front arm to the rear, I have no problem loading a Mini, Fiesta, SAAB on my...

The humidity on my ac is set at 50%, it sometimes goes lower 45%. I have a dehumidifier that comes on at 60%. I see no noticable surface rust on tools or materials.

Re: LIft choice advice seeked Any 4 post lift needs to be on level concrete at a minimum thickness and strength. You will be concentrating the weight of your vehicle plus the lift on these 4 points. One post sinking or slipping would likely damage the lift and possibly damage the vehicle or...

I used a drywall lift. So much easier.

If the holes are not too many you can repair them with quality silver ac tape. There are many debates on vapor barriers / retarders. You can search to find many different opinions. Here is one.. http://www.buildingscience.com/documents/reports/rr-0410-vapor-barriers-and-wall-design

The lift is maybe 12+ years old and he does not like people looking in his garage. One piston does not work right and has leaks from the tank. It has no equalizer cables, it is a clear floor with just an oil line above, no top plate either, he has often had to use a floor jack with wood to get...

A friend has ordered his new Bendpak XPR-9 and needs to remove the old VBM 7,000lb 2 post lift for the scrap man. If we dont have to, would rather not knock down the floor retaining bolts, the pad is 18" thick anyway.. Suggestions how to safely lift the posts over the studs and lower to the...

Turned out my friend was real lucky. :thumbup: He had already put in a new breaker and that also tripped straight away. I had to tell him how to remove the old breaker from the panel over the phone..:shocking: The electrican came, checked the first electrical box with a meter and said the short...

I thought about a nail for a fuse and check for smoke.. :FIREdevil
