Congrats!Just got the call. Garage doors will be installed next Thursday, the 15th. Definitely looking forward to that!
Thanks! I'm psyched that it's finally happening. They say it will take the better part of the day to install them.Congrats!
I'd also keep an eye out for pallet forks (and pallets) for that loader also. Everything going up/down should be on a pallet so you don't have to go up/down also.
The loader I'm looking at would fit onto a 1970 JD 2520 row crop tractor, and would be permanently attached. Unfortunately it won't be as capable as a skid steer, which I'd love to have but can't really justify paying for.I'll second this, and when you buy a loader, find something that has a skid-steer type quicktatch system, it will make your life much easier with the availability of attachments for the loader.
I'm actually fine with the floor as it looks now: plain concrete, with a few random embedded dried leaves for accents. It certainly doesn't need to be fancy. I plan to use (and probably abuse) it, and will keep it clean by sweeping. When I spill oil and other fluids, I'll clean it up as I go.In regards to the floor. Do you want something pretty, or do you want something you can use(abuse)? I used Ghostshield and a densifier(pre GS) on my floor and have zero regrets. Shop has been used (and abused) for 7 years now, and I wouldn't go back and do it any differently. Are there some stains on my cement...yes...do I care? No. There are also burnout marks and some paint overspray scattered around.
Museum quality floors look awesome until you drag a metal wheeled floor jack from one end to the other, pull in a vehicle with hot tires and let it sit, drop a hammer or something pointy, etc.
If you're constantly worried about ruining your floor finish, you'll never be comfortable working in your shop.
