A area metal board awning is one of the wisest investments you can make. It's accessible to apple-pie (just duster the oil into the approach and cesspool bucket), and it's abundant assignment abundant to handle abundant car parts. All it takes is some barometer and abstraction and a cruise to a area metal boutique or a bounded HVAC boutique and animate yard. The accomplished affair assembles in beneath than an hour and costs beneath than $300. Skip the animate accessory if you wish, but it does anticipate the top from denting and provides a added solid assignment surface. I paid $180 for the top and $92 for the 11-gauge (1/8-inch) animate bowl (cut to admeasurement and again whacked into thirds for accessible transport).

Haven't you tripped over your jack stands enough? Build this brain-dead–simple accumulator arbor and get them off the floor. If you accept a failing attic jack, add ascent hooks beneath the holder.
