Great giveaway - IN.

Out of lurk mode... If the ejector pit is unsealed because there is no pump but there are drains roughed in...do you also have an open plumbing vent roughed in to the area of the pit? If so, you could be getting a whiff of the venting system from the other active drain/vents tied in to the...

Happy 4th and thanks SK and GJ!

Thanks GJ and SK for the opportunity! I have the perfect space in my tool box for a set of these X-frames... MJ

Thanks GJ and SK! My modest selection of hand tools has slowly been converted over the years to SK and you cannot beat the value/quality of the product. A set of stubby's would be a great addition to my current collection. MJ

Been a fan of SK for years - love the X-frame wrenches and have been slowly building my collection. In for the win! BTW - thanks SK for the 40% discount. MJ

Gear Box - perfect. Thank you for the additional details. I really like this solution and it is now added to the (ever growing) project list. MJ

Gear Box - great thread. I love the attention to detail on the lift install (and apparently the remainder of the garage). I am really interested in more details on the lighting you installed - please share. MJ

Hello All - The time has come to add on to my existing detached garage and I am planning a 20'x25'x9' space. When I built the original 30'x40'x12' space radiant floor heat (or any heat) was out of the question due to budget constraints. I have since added a 60k btu 94% eff. propane furnace...

I went with Challenger for my 2 post and a year later my 4 post and haven't looked back. Zero issues, great build quality, I could go on. Prices from the local dealer were competitive with BP equivalent lifts and I have someone who can support in person. Lot's of folks use BP lifts with great...

I too chose drywall for my 30x40x12 stick-built and don't regret it. My contractor told me it was cheaper than OSB since his guys were more familiar with installing it (think trimming around outlets), comes in longer sheets and it takes paint faster...I painted mine gloss white to maximize its...

MJockey - I have mine on a 30A breaker and appropriate wire. The reason for this is simply that I pre-wired the garage for the lift when it was built (did not buy the lift until a year later). Since I did not know what I would end up with, I based the breaker size on the wide range of amp draw...

MJockey - I have an E10 that is ~2yrs old. The motor is a US Motor, made in Mexico, specs: 3450rpm, 208-230V, 15-18 Amps. The hydraulic unit is an SPX unit made in the US. I really like the E10 and think it is very underrated/under-appreciated on this forum. The steel structure of the lift...

I have two of these exact fans in my 30x40x12 - perfect for a garage application and very good value for the money. They are well built and the multi-speed controller is very nice. To answer the original posters question - yes ceiling fans will be worth it. I keep mine on low year round to...

My favorite accessories: Magnetic trays - one for each arm of the lift for lug nuts/bolts LED flexible neck desk lamps from IKEA that I mounted to round magnets - can hang off of the lift arms or suspension/chassis/etc 120V outlets that magnetically mount to the lift posts - these drop from...

Just went through this myself and I ended up choosing 4 post for several main reasons: 1 - Storage capability = stacking cars in my case 2 - Portability 3 - Use for standard maintenance if 2 post has a project blown apart around it I did anchor my 4 post down for my piece of mind but used...

Larry's videos are great but don't overlook his podcasts. Although unfortunately he has not released a new one in a while, there are some real gems in there. He brings together the heavy-hitters in the industry for a couple of cool projects and he gets to spend more time answering questions...

Hey yousah. I used the Simpson Titen HD "screws" as an alternative to the J-bolts on a slab on grade project. Check out the link below to see if they have something to fit the application/code in your area. http://www.strongtie.com/products/anchorsystems/mechanical/titen-hd/ Be careful with...

+1 for Parts Express. I used the CS620EC model primarily because they had a sealed enclosure that prevented my blown in cellulose from migrating into the speaker. http://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-cs620ec-6-1-2-2-way-enclosed-ceiling-speaker--300-417 For driving all 8 speakers I used...

Hey folks, thanks for all of your continued comments. Based on feedback so far, I will definitely be looking for a 2 stage jack to make it easier to lift off the trans and will be giving serious thought to an air over hydraulic unit. I also think having a pedal to lower the jack would be very...
