Nothing or everything depending on the day and who you ask. I hope to one day get back into the workforce but that could be years down the road. I will no doubt return to some capacity of labor/construction. We currently own the cake shop as well as owning a small painting and remodelling company for the last 20 years which is currently on hold. I will no doubt continue these ventures. I know what your saying about wanting a career or directiom but do not forget that you should put having a good life first and choose a career thats allows you to do that. I know alot of peoe that have a career and a miserable life, hardly seems worth it.

Stop in and talk to the guys with Hilti. -
We had ours at tall timbers. I have heard several others on here who did the same. Let me know if you need a wedding cake.

All the ones on craigslist are more than a cheap walmart one which will work. I will just pick one of those up if noone has one sitting they want to get rid of.

I know weird thing to look for. Had to shave my wifes head last night so now were in the wig stage.. Soon the eyebrows and eyelashes will be gone. Looking for a vanity she can sit at and put on her wigs and fake eye lashes,eyebrows. Needs to have a seat. If I dont find something soon i have one picked out at a store just seeing if I can save a few bucks first. Thanks

I get what your saying about safety. If I set the drop in anchors myself, i would feel more than safe with hilti 3/4 drop in anchors without question. I have seen one of these anchors withstand a vertical lift of probably twice the weight of anything your lift will probably see. With what i assume is 4 on each leg of the lift , i would feel perfectly fine, again of i felt the anchors set myself after setting thousands and thousands of anchors over the years. -

This is merely a guess, someone with more education would be better to answer this but if your going to cut out a section I would go about 2'x2' for each post and dig down to depth of 2'. I would reinforce my opening with rebar (rebar cage)and tie/pin this rebar into existing concrete as well. I would use the largest grade 8 all thread I could and either weld on plates to the bottom or use bolts to hold on metal plates on each all thread. Position these in the opening with wooden guide plate and feel each hole with 3000psi concrete. -

Yes if your just going to cut ,strengthen, pour the floor new in those areas might as well set anchors all at once. -
I hate to sell this as 1. My father in law has the matching pump I gave him as a gift 2. I was hoping to someday put this in front of my own pole barn if/when I ever moved and got one. But things being what they are its for sale. This is a tokheim gas pump. Gutted inside but lights still work and wired on a normal 110 plug. The one I have has a texaco star reproduction globe not the firechief globe I put on my in laws which is pictured. Asking $3200 Obo. Price is high but I have seen better ones go for less and worst shape ones go for more. This is not refinished and in mint shape. It is rusty in places but very solid. It has spent its entire life outside on display. Thanks http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d87/wnaplay/Mobile%20Uploads/CAM00019_zpskazsuka7.jpg

You could core the holes and set/ epoxy anchores like was illustrated above. -

Thats why I asked lol. If you do need it cut in dayton let me know we have a division there and this would fall under a minimum most likely depending on site specifics. -

Worst anchors to use imo. If you can get some drop in anchors and a set tool thats the way I would go. Dont forget to always blow out any anchor hole before setting anchors. Concrete dust even very minimal acts like tiny ball bearings when your trying to tighten an anchor this results in anchors that wont tighten or prematurely fail or loosen. -

Are the anchors drop in with bolt or drop in with threads and nut? Is your floor really old concrete? You rarely see concrete less than 3-4" unless its old residential typically. -

Could have used 1/2" drop in anchors. Each anchor is rated at 5000lb vertical lift which means they are tested at 15k lbs. Are you guys a shop? Most guys I know dont secure theirs to the concrete. We have one in my in laws barn and move it all the time. -
Bump make offer needs to go.

If your only doing a 12"x12" area(4), i would just get a cheap hand grinder and masonary disc. Unless your doing a large area and the floor is way out of level, the machines you rent are overkill. If you priced out the rental of a diamond grinder, the diamonds used would account for the high rental price. -

With a floor grinder especially with an agressive disc the key is to move quickly. A diamond disc will carve into the concrete fast if its left to just sit in one place for a second. Depends on what type of floor grinder they have. If it comes with a removeable weight start out without the weight at first. -

I may be retired but cut more in my 13 years than most do throughout all of theirs. I could still go out tomorrow and outcut anyone they put against me. We were still using middle age equipment and tripling the production of companies with the latest and greatest, hell we designed alot of the equipment guys are using today. Edit, i could outcut people tomorrow, by the following day I would need a wheelchair. -

I have probably cut out and grinded more concrete than anyone in here as thats what i did for nearly 13 years. The weight of the lift should be fine if your concrete depth is what you state. Grinding is very simple with the right equipment. Just keep in mind you dont want to inhale the dust and use water or at the very least a shop vac. For the areas your doing you can us a basic masonary grinder disc. For large areas and if cost isnt an issue diamond disc all the way.
