My garage floor in my recently purchased home is old, cracked and has many pock marks on the surface. It seems my only option is to do a Racedeck type floor and cover it up as the prep involved to tile or epoxy would be excessive. I have a couple of concerns: 1. Wear and tear with jacks and...

Santa brought a new HTP Invertig 221 and now I want to make sure I wire it up correctly...don't want to break my new toy before I use it. It has a 3 wire cord, YELLOW/GREEN is ground, BLUE is hot and BROWN is hot. I bought a 50 amp rated plug and socket that says it is for a welder as opposed...

A couple of photos of my space. I have tried to minimize the clutter and am working to get everything done before the cold weather sets in.

My Scissors Jack, floor jack, and jack stands have steel rollers or edges that I am concerned will "jack" an epoxy floor up in a hurry. It seems no matter how careful I may be that I will damage the finish. I am worried I will be more concerned with the garage floor than my oak floors in the...

My 22' x 38' garage has 11' (132 inch) wide slabs. The two post lift is 139 inches wide. Because of the restrictions on how close you can drill to the edge of the slab I would have to place the lift off center on to the ajacent slab. That is not going to work especially if I am storing a car...

Has anyone run across a video or instuctions on blowing in you own insulation on the walls? I have drywall on my garage walls and photos of the bare walls before the drywall was installed. They insulated the ceiling when the house was built. The front wall is part of the house and it is...

I am shopping for a 2 post lift and have narrowed the search to a 9000 lbs base plate lift. The problem is that some of the vendors call for 3" thick concrete and some call for 4" concrete at 3000 psi. I have 3" at 3500 psi according to the contractor who poured it and there is steel rebar in...

For those of you that installed 2 post lifts....when you drilled the concrete did you encounter any rebar? If so, what did you do, use a different drill bit? Did it hurt the concrete drill bit?

Several distributers are selling the same 2 post lift like the Complete Hydralics CL9000BP or this from Best Buy: http://www.bestbuyautoequipment.com/Auto-Lift-AL2-9K-FP-9000-LBS-2-Post-Auto-Lift-p/al2-9k-fp.htm They are all selling for about $1,400 with about $200 shipping. The question is...

Hi all....my name is Dan. I was made aware of this site by a member from another site, Yellowbullet which is mostly drag racing guys. I have a 24' X 38' garage with a 11 foot ceiling. I want a lift real bad...lol I have room for just about anything. But when I retire in a couple of years...

I was looking at the Maxjac two post lift and liked it because it was somewhat portable. Plus if I move and get a normal size garage, I could still use it which was the factor in eliminating the 4 post lifts for me. I am now looking at the Eagle/Mechanix MTP-9F and the Auto Lift AL2-9K-FP...
