My uncles beach house in MD has asbestos siding on it.Must be an old house. I haven't seen asbestos shakes in a while.
If you don’t like the way it looks, back up a little more. Looks OK from where I'm sitting 35 ft. away.
What a pretty pair!!!!Cleaned up the working side of the garage and brought the Midnight Bronze Chevelle back in out of the car trailer. D10 is in the trailer now.
Chevelle has been in the trailer for about 3 months, fired up on first try.

The guy sold you a lift missing main parts?Determined why I have been having trouble installing my 2-post lift.
Somewhere along the line of previous owners the original base mount assembly got separated from the rest of it.
There is a company that supplies parts, but of course they are on the other end of the country so shipping 300# and 12'x4' of steel would be nuts, in addition to the part itself.
Hoping to get a drawing and make a replacement.
I did at least get the old anchor holes epoxied over.
If you like I can ask someone I know that has a heavy duty 2 post lift what size the “Feet” are on his lift?I doubt the seller knew.
Someone before him modified the base and used it that way.
I do not trust a 13" x 17" base with only the thin edge of angle iron making contact with the concrete.
I Think?? a convertor might be cheaper, what’s the max amp rating on the lift? and is it 3 phase 208/230 or 460/480 volt? Heck I’m wondering if it might be cheaper to change the motor to 230/240 volt?Replacement bases for the lift are nearly done.
I am making some spacers for the ends of the heavy tube.
Now removing and repacking each roller bearing before I put the carriages back in.
Once that is done I should be able to set the columns into place before drilling for the anchors.
Hope to be finished by Sunday evening.
Then I either have to buy a static phase converter or a 3-Ph. generator.
