My toyota that I recently replaced was great-it had 2 pads protruding from the belly pans front and rear roughly centered and designed for a floor jack. My new car is a different story-4 lift points, one in each corner and that's it. Otherwise it is all belly pan so no real way to put all 4...

Mine are all over the place. 3 cars are 19mm, one is 21mm and one is 22mm.

I installed a liftmaster 8500 on a 18x11 insulated door. So far so good.

I built a 30x50 with a 18ft door on the gable end. I put my lift in the front right bay to the right of center and rotated a few degrees. It works out great for me. Pulling in cars is super easy, my 3/4 ton pickup you have to be a bit careful of but it maximizes the use of space for my uses...

What is the temp in your shop? When I bought my rotary I swapped the fluid with atf and it is much happier in the cold.

To me it looks like the weight of the door is pulling the ends of the shaft down and that is forcing the brackets/bearings out. Those brackets look pretty flimsy for what looks like a decent sized door plus they are not attached to the wall. If you had a door company install the door I would...

Just throwing it out there I have a brother pt-e500 that works really well. It does not have any sort of drm so it will take aftermarket tape which is plentiful. It costs a fraction to run as some other label makers.

Seems steep but prices vary a lot by area. I did a 30x50 5 inch thick 4000psi with fiber, hot water, and calcium slab the end of last year. Concrete and pump was 4200, rebar was 900, labor to pour and finish was 1875, vapor barrier and chairs was probably another 250 or so. I did all the prep...

I wonder if it has something to do with the prices? I went to one a couple of months ago for the first time in a long while and the prices were far beyond the value I see in their food. My daughter and I went to a chillie's for a cheap kid friendly dinner and had a much better meal than...

Going horizontal myself. 14ft 2x4s are significantly more expensive than 8 footers per foot.

3 things I don't buy from HF-things that have a cutting edge, anything that needs to be precision and most things that are electrical. Probably a bad contact on the dial. If you don't want to spring for a fluke or similar some of the uni-t meters are ok for the price.

Had mine done the summer of 2020. 47 square 12/12, lots of dormers, hips, etc and 2 skylights replaced. Estimates ranged from 21.5k to 34k, same materials, same roofing systems. The 34k company wanted 2k per skylight for crank open stocked skylights that maybe took 30 minutes each to...

Sounds like it took a metric wrench to remove it so it should be a 6mm.

I buddy of mine hooked me up with a free tire machine and it works great! Now I need a balancer and would like to buy a used one. Any recommendations on something to look out for that is serviceable and repairable? I'm trying to avoid buying something that will become a boat anchor in a year.

Lifts don't lock until they are a ways off the floor because of the height of the carriage that rides in the towers. If they made the carriage tall enough to lock down low it would come out of the top of the posts to get the vehicle lifted to full height. They could make 2 sets of locks at...

I sold a house a couple of years ago and got a list of 10 or 12 things the buyers wanted fixed. I picked 3 or 4 really easy to fix things and they were happy. Had I sold that house a few months later after the beginning of covid I would have not even entertained offers that included inspections.

Maybe if its free and you don't know what else to do with yourself? Personally I wouldn't bother, especially with the broken piece missing. I can almost guarantee it is iron if it broke off the way you describe.

I personally waited until the day after my inspection was done to put up my 2 post. I didn't want the town to get any ideas and decide I'm running a business or come up with some special requirements now that I have a lift bolted to the floor.

They are a local company and unfortunately I'm on the opposite coast.

The one that ran here recently didn't even remove it. They advertised it for a few weeks, cataloged everything on their website, had a walkthrough a couple days before an internet auction and then pickup was a day or 2 after the hammer. I bid on a few things but they sold so close to new that...
