    Hoist Spacing -Distance between Posts

    I have a 30x30 shop that I finally got hoists for around Christmas (guy moved his shop and just bought all new). I have a pair of 9k Challenger Versymetric hoists. I have the first one up and it's going to be a bit cramped getting the second one in. I've looked through the manuals but haven't...

    Li Jump Pack Fuse

    Popped the fuse, again. Old small Cobra jump pack, but it's big enough for my cars. I've replaced the assembly once ($30) and at 5 years old it's probably not worth that much to do again. But as I have 2 sets of cables I think it's worth trying to repair it myself. I'm going to guess it's...

    Minimal Solar for Storage Barn

    Wife is pushing (and I'm very curious anyways) for solar for my storage barn, a 40x40x10 that I'm using for storage. It's new construction this year and doesn't have any electric currently. It's about 300' from the house so running power would be a bit of a project. My loads would be minimal...

    Contractor Issues

    Mostly just me whining and wishing things worked better. I had a lot of issues getting my shop built (30x30 with in-law suite upstairs). Caught the first contractor returning excess materials and pocketing the money then found out he didn't have a license. He claimed the license was his...

    Clutch Dowel Pin Puller

    I have to replace the flywheel in my JY road race Mustang (ChumpCar/LeMons). The last couple of times I did this the new one didn't come with dowel pins. Last time I bought new pins and was told that was the last they could get. To fulfill my need for more tools I thought I would buy the...

    12v Air Compressor

    Are there any that aren't junk? My car sits for weeks at a time in the work parking lot and the nasty wheels that I mounted my snow tires on gradually go flat. I don't have access to 110v so it's either 12v or battery power. steve

    Shed Door Latch with Rods Up & Down

    Where can I get a rotating handle latch that has the rods that go to the top and bottom? My kit came with just a center latch and with 8' tall doors I don't trust a center latch to hold them securely.

    What to Build?

    Almost done with the garden shed (12x20 gambrel) so it's time to do a little more planning for the shop and storage area. The tractor, mowers and lawn equipment can go in it clearing the garage out. I have a Mustang problem. Actually 11 of them, and a Thunderbird TurboCoupe and a Lincoln Mark...

    Garage Ceiling/Roof Insulation

    Now that it's finally starting to be above zero I want to insulate the ceiling in my garage (bought the house last October). The issue is that the trusses are fabricated from 2x4's so I can only get 3.5" of insulation and I know I want more than that. The roof is somewhere around 12/12 and it...
