I've been running a Big Maxx 50K heater since 2013 along with a simple Honeywell battery powered heat-only T-stat. I've had no issues other than the common one where the orifice tube ****** gets clogged which I need to clear out twice a year. Since I can't leave anything alone lol, I wanted to...

I'm going to be switching over to Hilti Chemical Anchors for my 2 post lift as I'm having issues with some of the wedge anchors that were installed. I have to enlarge the existing holes from 3/4" to 7/8" to accommodate the epoxy. My concern is enlarging the holes without elongating them. I did...

I need a new hose reel as my wall mounted unit is starting to crack at the mounting points. I have a 5/8" Flexzilla Hose installed on it. I wanted to switch to a rectractable reel such as the one from Giraffe Tools on Amazon. I was also looking at the Flexzilla Pro Rectractable Reel but it's...

I had my 2 post lift installed in April. The installers used 3/4" X 6 1/2" wedge anchors that came with the lift and are most likely made in China. I also had them install a base extension kit: The floor is 6" thick and each post has a total of 13 (yes that's alot lol) of anchors installed...

Hello all, I plan on ordering the Lincoln Electric Power Mig 215 MPi Multi Process Welder. I have a roughed in 240V 4 11/16" box with 4 wires. I need to install the matching receptacle for this welder but cannot find any information on the plug type (even the instructions don't mention it)...

I know some people on here have this Emergency Stop Button mounted on their lift but was unable to find the pics I had seen at some point. Anyone have suggestions on where/how to mount this? I was thinking of mounting it to the side of of the enclosure that contains the Contactor and button but...

I have a Protec Emergency Stop Switch (pic attached) that I will be installing when my 2 Post lift is installed. I'm having a hard time finding an external enclosure/device box that fits the depth. It will fit inside a 3 inch deep device box with clearance at the back for the wiring but that is...

I will be installing a 2 post lift this spring/summer. I've got a couple of 240V drops in the garage with one of them being used by a welder via a wall receptacle. My intention was to use the other one for the lift. The wiring diagram (attached) calls for connections to the 'L' ("active"...

Haven't posted here in a long while. Several years ago I was looking at getting a 2 post lift but never followed though due to other priorities. I am now restarting my quest lol. One thing I am regretting right off the bat is not getting a lift back when I was originally looking (2015ish)...

While I wait for our new house to be finished I'm trying to come up with ideas of a color scheme for the garage (I'm leaning towards blue and grey). The foundation walls in the garage come up 3' above the slab. I was thinking of coating those in a different color epoxy than the floor and...

We'll be moving into our new construction house at the end of November and I'm trying to figure out which route to go with the Garage floor this time. I had the Stonhard guys come out and do my last floor and I was very happy with it. The thing was bulletproof and took all sorts of abuse for...

I'm currently in the final stages of a new home build. I've had the builder make some additions/changes to the garage based on previous experience. My intention was to install the Liftmaster Jack Shaft GDO so that I can have the doors converted to a high lift configuration (I have an 11'...

Hey all. I'll be moving into a newly constructed home in the next couple of months. I had the builder add a 'cold cellar' to the foundation under the front porch. It's not really 'cold' by any means but that's what they call it. Anyway, I had an old CH 20 Gallon Compressor that served me will...

Hey all. First post here but I've been lurking for a while. There's currently a sale on the Mr Heater Big Maxx 50,000 BTU heater in my area. It's $200 off right now and selling for $499. I'm debating whether to buy it and either find someone to install it or install it myself. Alternatively, I...
