I just found this old Yamaha last week. It was left in the backwoods of my property that we bought a few years back. It looks to be pretty well complete, not sure what size it is. Bonus is that I found an old disc close by as well. I might take some time to pull them out of the woods this spring.

Just built a house with attached garage. 3 big, heavy garage, doors. 2 of them are 16’ high. I too wanted the jackshaft openers. They delivered tee bar units. I was ticked off as I already installed all the wiring for the jackshaft units. They subsequently sent me one jackshaft unit which...

I feel your pain, same thing happened to me when we bought our property 5 years ago. Without going into to much detail, the scum bag was caught and spent time in prison. I have a 1000 ft -plus long drive way and people know not to drive down it unless invited. If they make it past my two...

I have a few machine tools that require 3 phase. The smaller stuff, Bridgeport mill and Clausing lathe, both run on a static converter. Drawback is you only can run one machine at a time and you loose a bit of power. Neither of which is a problem for me as I don’t push the machines that hard...

Check this one out instead as it also includes non profession software at a pretty low cost. https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwp4m0BhBAEiwAsdc4aB_nyVm3JAc2_wyeCWeR5D5whGV1DfE4mVadccgA-fpizyJZhY8yhhoCNnwQAvD_BwE

I have used the below to design our new home. Pretty easy to learn! You can download a trial version. Crazy how powerful the software is. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/

My garage has three overhead doors. 16’ wide x 10’ high where I park my 3500 and the wife parks her jeep. Next stall has a 14’ wide x 16’ high for my boat, next stall has a 12’ wide x 16’ high. Heated garage, expensive doors!

Possibly seal up the 1’ over hang areas using rubber roofing membrane material. You would have to get access to the wall as you would want to go up the wall a bit with it and drap it over and down the slab. This stuff is typically used on commercial roofs. You would need to install a metal...

There you go!

On the two sides that have the 1’ offset, could you have a sheet metal shop fab up a flashing that reaches out and over the slab and have it pitch up a bit on the wall? It might look a bit funky but eliminating the 1’ lip for water to set on is definitely something you want to fix.

Similar to Maple Leaf Farmers reply!

I had a pool installed when we lived in AZ. The perimeter was concrete, sloping away from the pool. They installed drain channels to direct this water out and away from the pool. They had plastic grid covers on them as well. when I recently built our new house, I looked at garage floor drains...

Was the second coat using the same paint? If have seen this when lacquer based paint was sprayed over non lacquer.

Grapple and forks. Ordered 03-06-2023. Received 06-09-2023

Here’s one I made using an old auger and remnants from a bowling alley. I inlayed a bit of walnut as an accent. My Dad always said, “don’t throw nothing out”. So I don’, never now what you can turn scrap into!
