Continuing my effort to fix-up little issues in the garage, I got around to printing new rollers for my air reel. The reel is only a few years old, so pretty clear the original rollers weren't up for the task. The new ones are nearly-solid ABS and should last much longer -- color coordinated with the safety stuff on the lift too. :)

Sharing my 20x30 garage with a lift. Had this built about 5 years ago. Enjoying it as much as I can, and served as my office during Covid.

Don't know about the Merc but I'll always have my eye on that beautiful 997.............. :angel:

I like the hanging bi-plane a lot too if you ever get tired of it... ;)

Thoughts on the best way to have the missus' SUV thing park in the same spot in the garage? Other than painting a parking spot...

The border on my Swisstrax works in getting my enormous pickup in the right place. There’s always the tennis ball on a string, or rubber wheel locators. There are laser locators as well. Amazon has a million options, non of which I have tried:
