I need a 2-car-wide outdoor carport. I've seen some discussions many years ago here, but looking for current information. Lots of people sell them, but it seems there are really only 2-3 actual manufacturers. Brand to get? Brand to avoid? What would you do differently next time? Depending on...

Yes, I looked around some. Most of the discussions have been sizing and 4 vs 2. I need a 4-post to store my 1990 Caprice on. No work ... just park. I'm asking for the brand you would suggest and/or the brand to avoid. I already have a Bendpak 9k 4-post to work on. Thanks..........

My Trane heat pump has the huge meter-spinning toaster coils as AUX heat. The generator is not large enough to power those when the outdoor unit goes into defrost mode. I need to stop the toaster from turning on. I realize that there will be some amount of chilled air coming from the air...

As mentioned in another thread, my son bought a house built in 1952. Some of the wirings are the original 2-wire and some upgrades to 3-wire have accrued. When changing out the outlets there are some that are 2-wire supplied and have 3-wire devices installed. And some are 2-wire with 2-wire...

Looking for measurements for the rolling jack and jack tray for the Advantage 4-post lifts. What is the measurement of the lip-to-lip of your runways? Those items cost less than the Bendpak versions but I'm guessing they will fit. So, before I spend $1000 at Advantage I want to be sure they...

Adding a bench grinder to the far side of the garage. Using PVC grey pipe surface mounted. Total run is 64 feet from sub-panel to grinder. The grinder is labeled as 3/4 hp at 110V. What size wire? #10 solid? Stranded? What size breaker? 20 amp? Thanks......... I know there are charts but...

In this installment, I will go over some of the install things I learned. Get a comfy chair............. The assembly manual was written by someone who has already assembled 50 of these so a lot of steps were left out that would be useful for the self-install. These are not in any certain...
