Hi Guys, I am located in northern Ohio and was wondering if anyone has experience or issues with having a 4-post lift outdoors? I understand hydraulic hoses, may for most brands, probably do not have UV protection, but I just wanted to hear your experience and concerns with this idea. As always...

Good morning during installation of Tuxedo asymetrical 2 post lift can I choose to install the same swing arms on either side of the posts? I may choose to want to back into the lift area vs. pull into to provide greater access to the engine bay area. Thanks!

I am looking to purchase a direct pressure blast cabinet and wanted to hear what you guys use or recommend. Thanks

My existing garage has radiant heat, and I just built an addition attached to the outside of one of the structure's walls and wondered if I could simply exchange air (forced air) from the heated garage to the other? The boiler was over sized for the existing building and would easily be able to...

I've seen posts where they talk about how anchor depth can compensate for PSI. I am not sure I understand that one, but my question is can psi, to some degree, compensate for concrete thickness? My garage has a block foundation and was built a few years ago. I built the floor with radiant heat...

Well I am coming back to the forum of knowledge for more help. :) You guys are the best! I have a 2000 F350 dually, 7.3 and the width of the rear section of the truck is about 100" but i can't find a 4 post lift wide enough to accommodate this width without buying a really expensive commercial...

I've read several articles about attic vents and some say they are great and some say they are a waste of time and money. I live in Ohio and while the heat problem here is not year-round like other states the attic seems to get really hot. I was once on another roof that looked to be in nice...

Okay so I have a closed loop radiant floor heat in my garage with a backflow protector for keeping my potable water safe. I hear that it is not uncommon for the backflow water to possibly allow water from the closed loop system back into the potable water. I would like to have some color in the...

My friend has a concrete garage floor that has wear from years of normal wear and salt from his vehicles. He wants to epoxy the floor but he wants to refinish the floor wear areas to the original surface height. The wear areas are only about 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep and about 15 to 20 inches in...

I like the idea of solar powered but I am not sure how reliable they are? Any thoughts and if so any specific product suggestions? Thanks!

Well I am getting ready to start sheeting the walls and I started thinking, always dangerous, about whether it would be wise to install an exhaust fan like the one on the link...

Hey guys, I am certainly no carpenter or engineer but I would like to put a 16x16 loft in my garage. The garage walls are all 2x6 but I am not sure if I can safely go 16x16 with 2x10 or 2x12 lumber for the floor joist. Can I safely go with just one corner 6x6 post with 2 2x10 or 2x12 stacked...

I am looking to put LEDs in my garage, but I am not sure how to determine the number of lumens I would need. The garage in 32x60 with 12' ceiling and unfortunately due to my age, my eyes like a lot of light. I would like to put up 8' fixtures if possible but I am not 100% sold on that size. Any...

I researched and tested some various flooring finishes when I stumbled on to the Rust Bullet product from my favorite speed shop, Summit Racing. Summit carried the automotive version but also the Rust Bullet Concrete. The standard concrete Rust Bullet has an aluminum color to it and looks great...

I am using a backhoe with a 24" bucket to dig a trench for gas and electric. I have seen where they would like a minimum of 12" inches of separation between the two sources at 18" to 24" deep. I don't mind going a little deeper to have a little more separation between the two but I am curious if...

I've ready several posts on this site but it seems everybody wants something a little different so I thought I would post for my own project. My garage is about 160 ft. from my house or power source. I have 200 amp service coming into the house but I am not sure how to go about determining what...

Okay so I am investigating spray foam insulation for my garage. The most recent company I spoke with gave me a quote but also asked if I had a ridge vent. I said yes. They said they would also spray the vent closed because spray foam creates another atmosphere and we would not need it. Another...

I recently built a 32x60 building with radiant heat in the floor. I purchased a boiler with 100K BTU for NG, but the boiler supplier mfg. and the gas line supplier will not give me any recommendation as to what size line I should use for 150' run. I have no other appliances being run on this...

Well we did the heat loss calculation and the distributor is recommending a Knight brand 55K BTU for natural gas. I talked with some folks that have used this brand and they say they are high maintenance and not very reliable. I've look at several other brands like Westinghouse, Weil McLain, and...

There are so many options for garage floor colors and designs I thought it would be cool to see what everyone else has done.
