Check carefully that no hardware holding the tracks to their brackets came loose, one of the rollers may be hanging up on one. Also check your manual locks, sometimes the can be not fully unlocked and will bind in the track.

Are both doors really against their respective outside walls because the liftmaster can be installed on either side of the door. Another option is to mount the liftmaster with a 90 degree bracket so it is horizontal, the other door would need to have its tracks a little lower and you would then...

Personally, if you like the house I would buy it however I would consider I bought a two car garage. What is above the garage, is it living space communicating to the second floor of the house. New construction houses these days are no better, double garages are often less than 400 sq.ft. I...

It's like cutting cement, couldn't believe how dense this stuff is. It took linseed oil fairly well, let it sit 24hrs and wiped the excess. The point is as you've said, fairly cheap. So use and abuse then replace. It's harder than maple for sure and looks great.

Thanks all for the great comments. Finally got the lift dialed in today. It lifts nice and level now. I am very impressed with the build and quality of this unit. My only disappointment was the instructions, the translation has much to be desired and leaves to some frustrations until you...

I already have a Bosch shop vac that I am very happy with. I want to keep it in the main house/basement/garage. For my detached single garage I would like to find something very light and portable and small, 2G or so would do. Just something small that takes up minimal space and can clean up...

I know what you mean, I picked this one up a few years ago for still good money but harder to buy now. 20 years ago they couldn't give these away. Don't think I'll be able to afford another one now and the market is now less driven by enthusiasts but more by flippers trying to make a buck.

Keep in mind that you lift with blocks, so if you use 4" blocks between the lift and your vehicle you will be closer to 6' to the bottom of your chassis.

I would compare noise level and duty cycle on all of them to help me make my choice. I bought the IR and I am very happy with it, it's very quiet, cast iron heads and has a 100% duty cycle.

Learning from Jack on how to make multiple uses of areas in a small space. This is the table I just made, with the wood top on it matches and rolls up to the permanent workbench. Remove the wood table top and this is now my welding table. It can be rolled around the shop to be used...

Can someone look at my thread below and tell me what I am doing wrong. I used "manage attachments" for my pictures and they show up as thumbnails. I would like to have these inserted into the thread as full images. Did it do this because the images are too big or is there a different method...

The EE-6503 became too expensive when an intermediate got involved and prices went up about $1000 overnight. Within the same thread on this board of the EE-6503, someone had found a DY-QJY3.0S which you can still order direct from the manufacturer at a reasonable cost...

Yes, it's the control panel for the lifts. Pump and oil tank are in there. Below that box is a 4" pipe that connects to the lifts. The reason for the two scissors lift is exactly that, it lifts from the rocker panels and leaves the centre tunnel free to work on as well as the wheels. When...

Brian, it is dark and my other choice I liked was maple coloured however I really liked the warmth of the cherry and thought it would blend well with the bamboo bench. At the end of the day I compensated the dark floor and cherry wall with more lights.

I took a lot of great ideas from this site and hopefully this thread can give some back.

The flooring is a porcelain tile 6" x 24". The front garage door is 10' wide and gives into the driveway / street. The idea behind the side garage door is to open it up in summer and work peacefully in my yard. Landscaping next summer will provide privacy with a hedge and shade from that...

Last one for now. P-car makes it on the lift. Fuchs I am slowly refinishing.

View from back to front, lifts once down leave no interference. The P-car finally makes it in. It's a 68 SWB 911T with a nice 68 S engine. Work bench in the back is bamboo with a linseed oil finish

Side exterior shot. Did all the aluminum myself, siding is Canexel "country red". I like the look and contrast to the white. I had to bring in it's own electrical entrance as my main panel was tapped out. Heating consists of a heat pump and 2 infrared heaters. Porcelain tiles...

Picture of the lift and final poor in the pit boxes to get the height just right. Used a laser level and it came out perfect. Final shot is of the exterior nearly done.
