Change pins and bushing on my 92 takeuchi: dealer was the best for the bushing. The pin I had to built them out of hydraulic cylinder rod (custom lenght).. but it was pretty cheap that way.(got them from my local hydraulic shop)

I'm in the same decision making as OP are (and same location) Clear floor is my choice...and I have 12'4" ceiling so easy choice for me. A Snap tech is theone I'm looking at.... all the other one are pricier.

I used elastomeric scellant on the inside (cold climate here)

I put a 120v 1500w water heater element in mine. Just plug it in a wall outlet(GCFI protected). Run the pump with the hose so the fluid move around while heating. take about 20min to heat up what waterbased degrease is in my 20g washer(~7ish gallon I would say). it doesn't need to be super...

Don't overthink the structure. I did 2 counter top for my living room to put on top of IKEA module 16"x45" x 2"thick and they hold it very easy. Did the mold with regular melamine and 3 lenght of 3/8 rebar that I had laying around. Regular all pupose concrete bag for your favorite big store.

Having a steel top workbench allow you to weld anything to it to make a jig or simply hold something in a particular manner. you can't do that with a concrete top....and it might be prone to chipping. I have a 2'x4' 3/8" thick plate as my workbench on caster and it's the best thing I have ever...

You should start to search about spray foam issue when not spray properly. like too thick at once, wrong product misture for the temp/humidity when sprayed, etc. There's some complete building that have been foamed that it needed to be removed completely. that's is the worst case....whish you...

Andrew Camarata on youtube have a "castle" made of container. I don't think he actually live in it though.

I have something like that ..I rarely used them cause I would need them in the garage and they are only good to slip on the concrete floor....plus most car bumper will hit before going up (need to make the ramp longer with wood)

I have a 2' stem wall and uncut 10' stud on top of that double sill(nailer and bottom sill) + double top plate that give me 12'-4,5" ceiling height....which is alright for all the 12' ceiling car lift I looked at cutting sheeting is a minimal problem.

a 120v welder only need a 20A 120v circuit (can run most of the time on a regular 15A circuit) just get one that you can put a gaz bottle on if you ever want to do sheet metal with mig. I love my Lincoln SP125plus(like more then 20years) and it do everything that I really need..(But I have a...
