    Sure Shot restrictors?

    Does anybody know if there are different sized restrictors for SureShot cans? I have the green cans and I need to replace 1 missing restrictor (it's cool, but holy **** it'll dump a quart in just a few seconds). And would maybe like just the next size up from whatever they come with in the box.

    I just bought my first lift - a Rotary PFXE-10 low-rise lift. 110v power unit. Looking at Rotary's site, there's no documentation to be found, nor does a Googl search yield any results.

    Sliding shed door options?

    I'm starting to do research on designing a storage shed, and I think I want a single sliding door. Estimate on width is probably going to be 6' wide, 8' tall. I'm probably going to be doing an 8x12 shed (because 96 square feet is the limit of how big I can go without needing a permit...
