So I pulled the motor over the weekend. I'll get some pics up later today. Look to doing some more teardown throughout the week.

I also see that you built new stairs and moved the lift back lol. For a second there I thought you moved again or something haha.

When is your expected completion time for this project?

Yea, I decided to finally get it done. Got tired of it cutting into usable space. My plan is to have it back together by the end of next month. Depending on how motivated I get!

Is your garage heated pretty well? If so, is it from the house or do you use a portable space heater or something? I'm looking for a good heater. I have a lot of work to do and not a lot of time.

Eric, I have one of those forced air propane heaters from Mr. Heater. It works good but it's LOUD. It's also will empty a propane tank (regular BBQ size) with the quickness. But it will heat my garage quickly.

I recently bought something similar. Haven't used it yet this year though.

I heard you have to have ventilation for those, and that would make it pointless since you would be opening the door or something for that LOL. I've thought about getting one of those propane ones though. I'd kinda rather stick with electric, but it would be wreaking havoc on my power probably, and it would also suck because I only have the one power grid in the garage lol.

I'll check out that one you have, Frank. I'd like to see how well it warms your garage. If it warms yours, I KNOW it can warm mine haha.
