1999MJ Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'm double checking the garage dimensions this afternoon....I think I'm wrong on the size. Paul, that is the exact sealing kit I'm planning on using This is the lot I think we’re going to select, and a finished version of the house model we’re going with. The lot is smaller than some of the others available, but it has it’s advantages to us (along with being cheaper :D) It’s backed by a ravine that’s a protected conservation area, and is also the last plot in the section you see. Nothing is going to get built either behind or beside it on the one side. Plus it’s just big enough for me to take care of landscaping-wise without having to commit an entire day, like the lot we currently have. Image Not Found This is what will eventually be moving into (not the same colors, though): Image Not Found What does a house in VA like this go for if you don't mind me asking?

CEThomas Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Notice that they have all low profile autos on the lift, with a high profile vehicle like a truck or van in an 8’ garage you can get it high enough to work on the wheels but to roll in under it you have to be very short or you have to stay hunched over all the time. But not bad to work under if you don’t mind being on your knees. Lifting capacity is very low, they rate the capacity by cylinder size but do not take into account the leverage that is applied by a large/ long heavy vehicle. Also they could use larger bolts to hold it to the floor :idea: My 10,000# lift has to work very hard to lift an 8,000# extended cab 2500 pickup and it has a lot more bolts that are 2x the size that they used. I was going to get the 8,000# lift when I got mine but switched to the 10,000#. And after using it I wish I had went with the 12,000# for all different vehicles use it for :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemsee Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Nice going on the house there jeff. That lift is scary as hell. Someone is definitely going to be killed. Those anchor bolts are small to begin with, then add in having them installed and removed X times. (and never properly torqued). A vehicle would HAVE to have stabilizing jacks used under that thing. Oh well, Darwin at work again. :nuts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
