The garage and pole barn look very nice. One thing that stuck out to me right away is the condition of the concrete floors. They really look great. I don't think I saw a crack in any of them. Car lover's property for sure.

The older garage age is unknown by me, but the floor is also in excellent shape, and was also relief cut so if it does crack, it usually follows the saw cut. I want to but an above ground 10,000# lift in the pole building, which requires 6.5 inches of concrete so I need to drill it to see how thick it is. Most times it's only 4 inches, but we shall see when I drill it. The garage and pole building total 2736 sq ft, plus there are 2 more buildings with gravel floors that have roughly another 1200 sq ft. Tomorrow I'm going to pressure wash the floors in both buildings before I start moving my stuff in, might as well start out as clean as I can..... |

BTW, not crazy about my Forward brand lift either. This is my second one, The first one now 6 years old was just great, the second one, 4 years old, not so much. Pump and motor burned up and popped a 50A breaker at 3 months old. Chinese unit. Forward promptly replaced it with an Italian older unit they had on the shelf, and it's been OK. BUT they said they were discontinued and all are Chinese now. Factory service was great, quality of product going downhill as everything is Chinese now. Had one of the large hydraulic cylinders leak after 6 months as well. Replaced promptly and they did not want the old one back. I would buy some other brand. |

Another reason I bought a medium rise scissors lift, no drilling or anchor bolts or falling off the lift. Handles everything from short roadsters to RVs.

I have a Rotary asymmetrical built in 2012 (yes, China). 10K and it required at least 6" of concrete rated at 3000# p.s.i.. I think it required to be at least 36" from any seam or crack. It's used multiple times daily with zero problems. It's electric/hydraulic.

Just spent our first night here on Saturday night, long time coming.
There is still lots of things not done, and furniture and belongings not moved thank the lord I have a 14 foot straight truck with a lift gate on it. This afternoon we're having all the ductwork cleaned, and there is painting and drywall that still needs finished, along with a new double sink vanity in the downstairs bath that needs installed , and plumbed. Just not enough hours in a day......LOL, If I could cut out meals, and sleep I could get finished sooner......... Other than doing some work on one of my trailers (re-wiring lights) and some needed lawn mower repairs and service, I have yet to turn a wrench on any of my own stuff in the garages. Just trying to get the contractors in line (painting, flooring, duct cleaning, HVAC) is a full time job, and then doing all the repairs I can handle myself. then there's 3-4 hours of lawn mowing every week too. Just an update if anyone cares about the joys of buying, and rehabbing an old farmhouse. I still have a race car chassis, a 76 T/A subframe, with a 455 in it, an 6X10 enclosed trailer, a car dolly and a 20 foot enclosed truck body, with an 84 GP in it, that I need to move to this house, from the old home. doesn't look like I'll get any of my own wrenching done until next spring........... In my spare time, I need to also get the snowplow installed on my 93 K3500 dually too. |
