    painting car lift

    I found Tremclad Dark Blue to be a very close match to the Bendpak factory blue. At $49.95 CDN per gallon it is a bargain. Very good coverage as well. http://www.rustoleum.ca/product-catalog/consumer-brands/tremclad/rust-paint/rust-paint

    Update: Our 3 Car Garage is Done

    These are do it yourself assembly units from Home Depot, although they are are also sold at competing retailers. They come with decent hardware and cost $110 per 54" x 24" x 12" cabinet. I got assembly down to about 30 minutes per unit.

    Our Shop Build - Just In Time for Winter

    Your guess is on the money. We use the shop for basic maintenance and park 2 vehicles there when we need the space in the other garages.

    Electric or Gas in B.C. Canada

    Do the gas heater installation. I have used both electric and gas as sources of heat and the gas is far better at heating your space up in a hurry.

    What Annoys You The Most When In The Shop?

    Smacking my head on the lift when wearing a baseball cap and forgetting to duck. The lift always wins.

    Our Shop Build - Addition of BendPak Lift

    In Canada, the price works out to about $5600, taxes in. This includes jack stand bridge, rolling bridge and castor kit. I'm sure the U.S price is a much better deal, after exchange.

    Wolverine Unresponsive

    I have tried on 3 occasions to contact Wolverine's respresentatives on this and other boards with no response. My questions were straight forward: 1. Does Wolverine have a product which would provide a good clearcoat sealer over Armstrong Imperial Texture VCT? 2. Does Wolverine expect there...

    Where to use vapor barrier

    We are having an RV carport converted to an insulated heated shop. The builder has specified vapor barrier in wall and ceiling, as per the BC building code. Also moisture escapes the attic by way of roof vents. I believe the code here requires roof vents equivalent in area to 1/300 of the roof...
