I was considering laying down some lumber and making an ersatz drive-on lift, but lumber is expensive right now and just putting in a free four-poster is, well, free.

:rofl2: my old man called this back in February; said lumber, home improvement stores, and everything associated with homes was going to skyrocket in the market bc everyone's vacation budget would be spent on home 'improvement'.

We have been having trouble getting some lumber orders on time. Some sizes are about 2 weeks or more late. We get lumber 2 to 3 times a week. Concrete has been another big seller. We get 2 sometimes 4 trailers a week. Bathroom, kitchen, and flooring are big movers. 95% of that is special orders.

Garage floor has a slight dip in the center, I'm assuming I'll need to add something to make sure it's all level. Any other thoughts?

Whats change of depth over say 4' span?

No worries then, just use a couple of shims, if needed. I have a bag of shims here too if you want or they are a few bucks on amazon.

It rained like a mofo last night. Still raining now and they said just North is snow. They were predicting us getting 5"+ at the beginning of the week.

Just put some leveling agent down. It’ll all be in compression so it shouldn’t cause you any issues.

Safety wire is a ************. Wrapping my hot side turbo piping cost me numerous cuts.

Time = $$$$. Gotta priorities opportunities accordingly. :tiphat:

SouthArk370Z 12-12-2020 10:19 AM

As others have mentioned, a slightly uneven surface shouldn't be a problem for installing a lift - use shims, grout, etc to level the legs.
