    New 2 post lift installed.

    Well I pulled the trigger and purchased a 2 post lift. It took me about 8 hours to install it by myself. And it is awesome. I just installed a new exhaust system on my wives minivan and is was almost effortless. I highly recommend one. :thumbup:

    I recently purchased a Bendpak xl9 used from a local muffler shop. When I went to look at it the owner lifted up a dodge dynasty so I could see its operation. I gave him $800 and loaded it on my trailer. 2 weeks later(today)I reinstall it in my garage and the cylinder furthest from the pump...

    Garage door problem

    Well I also gave him the option of getting me another 21 inch panel and track extensions. That would give me a 105" door about 8.9ft. I would have to raise the header up and reframe that area. The door is a raised panel so it would look goofy if I left it at 96".

    30x40 in Wisconsin

    I got a roof today. And it looks great, although I can't take any credit for it. I hired an Amish neighbor to do the work. 3 adults and 2 kids did the job in 4 hours. Installed the 12x16 garage door. Started installing the 8x8 garage door and noticed they sent me a 8x7 bummer. But we still got a...

    30x40 in Wisconsin

    I went with 2x6 walls, it was about 500 bucks more than 2x4's. I'm glad I did because it seems so much stronger , especially when setting the trusses. I got most of the materials from Wilhelm Lumber in Pholx, WI. They were cheaper than the 3 other places I got quotes from including Menards. I...

    Correct, they used the bucket truck to get the finishing machine on the slab. Well with the scissor truss the ceiling will be 13'3", should be plenty tall for anything i need. I'm located 35min west of Green Bay.
