    Sliding door lock

    I work for a large lock company (ASSA ABLOY), and suggest you not use a direct pull mag lock as illustrated above. If you are determined on using a mag lock, use a shear type mag lock where the armature has small (anti) shear pins

    kitty litter- oil stains

    Try a little 100LL Avgas on the oil spot - use a paper towel to keep it wet for a few minutes and use a broom - when it dries the oil spot will be 95% gone. Obviously, be damn careful with the Avgas and flammability!! Don't bother trying this with unleaded car gas - won't do anything

    Building new garage - Ceiling height for lift?

    Probably not much operationally with proper air movement. I have one 220V 14' diameter BigAss Essence variable speed fan that moves a lot of air downwards in the 40x60x16 shop. The single propane forced air heater is in the corner behind the photographer.

    Haas vs

    I work for the parent company of Amarr, and could have received a very substantial employee discount when we were building: 10'x8' and 20'x8' doors. I ended up choosing Haas... and willingly paid more :D

    Rotary SPOA10 Shockwave Battery Explosion

    Glad you are safe! My SPOA10 is the non-Shockwave version running on 220V. I *almost* bought the shockwave version, but since mine is a hobby lift I decided I could wait another 30 seconds or minute to get a vehicle in the air.
