    WTB: used Flush mount scissor lift

    May be a long shot, but hoping someone is finished with one, maybe moving or has no need. Preferably an Atlas FM9SL, but I'll entertain anything full rise with similar dimensions. I'm in Ohio, but will travel states away for a good deal. Thanks for any help

    Garage door following truss..... Again

    I've read a few threads on here regarding this situation, but none that are at the point I'm at. I've installed the doors: 10x10 insulated with one panel of windows Standard rise but immediately following the trusses. Two springs per door. I have high lift drums on them. With the sprigs...

    Best price on jackshaft openers, black Friday?

    I need two openers. Do any forum sponsors carry them? Is anyone aware of any upcoming sales? I've looked at the lift master 8500's, looks like I'm seeing $400-450 a piece. Suggestions on something else I should be looking at? I've gotten some good info from other threads.

    Styrofoam between scissor trusses?

    I would like to install styrofoam sheets between my trusses for ceiling insulation. I have a metal roof, installed over roof wrap and sheeting. If I screw the styrofoam to the bottom of the purlin, is this enough air gap? Do I need to install nailers parallel to the trusses to allow air flow...

    Ideas for retaining wall

    I need some suggestions for a smallish retaining wall between my pond and new building. There's about 8-9' between the pond and corner of the building. My goal is a flat and wide enough space to drive my 52" zero turn through. I've thought about timbers, but how would I use deadmen? Should I...

    Anyone created a false (stationary) OH door panel?

    So the wife wants the building to look symmetrical, but I'd like a 10' h and an 8' h door. The 10 would be on the left bay with the lift, the 8' door would be on the right, to allow more loft headspace on that side. If I simply go with two 10' doors, have you ever seen a top panel that didn't...

    Pics of garages with different height overhead doors.

    I'll have two 10' w doors on the front, my original height was 10'. I'm now considering an 8' tall door on the right to allow a better loft situation on that side. On a "carriage house" style garage, will this look to out of place? Looks matter on this one because it's right next to the house...

    Delta/unisaw experts, 12" saw?

    Did the unisaw come in 12"? I have the opportunity to buy one, and even being 3 phase I think it'd be worth it. Can anyone tell anything from this picture? Is it worth $500? Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Another sub-panel wire size question.

    I've read a lot of threads on sub-panels, a lot. I'm still not fully clear on what I need. There is so much knowledge on here. I don't need suggestions, on what I should have put in, or what I'll be doing in my garage, or how I could save money with different equipment.....,etc What I would...

    Best maintenance tool bag?

    I'm still in the elevator trade, but I'm switching from modernization to a maintenance route. I'll no longer need my huge toolbox full of tools, just a bag of some sort. A few hand tools, wrenches, meter, etc will be on the list. What style does everyone like, backpack, wheeled, bucket...

    Anyone custom mount their Milwaukee 10 bin organizers?

    I've already got several of these and can pick them up for $20, so I'm not ready to switch to packouts. I'd love to see how you have made these more mobile, or even mounted/stored them in your garage. I'm thinking about a mounting option for the side of my toolbox. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL...

    Welders, which cart/cabinet?

    I recently picked up the Vulcan omnipro 220 from HF and would like to pick up a decent/convenient cart or cabinet. Which do you prefer, and are there any recommended? I was considering a cabinet, due to the fact it'd be carrying mig and Tig supplies, but I also don't want the welder too far off...

    Second air tank as a dryer?

    Working on plumbing in my new IR compressor. Basic specs are 230v, 60 gallon, 14 scfm @90psi. I have an old kobalt that the head blew off of, but I was wondering about plumbing in the 26 gallon tank downstream to use as a dryer. Does this make sense? Would the smaller tank cool the air...
