- Thank you for the reply. I did just search the archives and had some success, going back to 1998 or so. Most of the posts were 2 v/s 4 post and I have already made up my mind on that. I am still look

- Hi Peter, If you're looking at replacing concrete anyway, infloor heating is awesome. We have one boiler that services both the basement floor and our 650 sqft garage. The garage is 2x6 walls, insula

- I have one from DirectLift and am happy with it. I've had it at least 5 years. I think it was about $2300 delivered when I got it. They had a special at a swap meet but it's probably around the same

- I have a Superior (Super) Lifts from 2000. Has worked fine. I have read of several 4 post lifts failing and collapsing though. When you get one, don't neglect to keep lubing and inspecting the pully

- I assume even the 4 post lifts work on hydraulics?? If so, if any plugs or hoses come pre-assembled be sure to disassemble and coat the threads with either teflon or pipe dope before adding any fluid
