    My New Lift

    Posted awhile back about the Advantage lifts I saw at the Mecum auction in Florida. Did more research and decided to purchase one. Here are pics of the finished product. I assembled myself with help on putting the tracks in due to their length and weight. Instructions were good with many...

    Hoisting tools to the attic?

    Installed my hoist today. Used .25" metal plates bolted to the peak purlins as support for the 2.5" pipe which I used to hang the hoist from. I'm using the single line 500 lb capacity as I do not intend to lift anything over 200 lbs up there.

    water pressure tank location

    Leve is right, the primary purpose of the pressure tank is to prevent constant cycling of the pump by controlling the pump with a pressure switch that only kicks the pump on at a preset pressure.
