I was saying that my Chevelle and a lift will weigh less than a HD type truck....

no body walked away, builders here (and a lot of places) will buy a piece of land and subdivide, start building houses and sell as they go, this plan will be built dozens of times

Tile?

when we bought the place it was already framed, agree with you though just assumed I would not be getting a lift, then started to think it might be possible.

thanks, that is great information, the inside walls (red lines) are stick built on poured footings, not sure if there was anything else done to them, have not been inside for a while, they have also been completing double shear walls (for earthquake loads?), not sure if these walls were added onto

It is still being built so we are talking on a regular basis, I will ask and see what they say, maybe they will be helpful my realtor (lots of construction experience) suggested i have them pour footings in the basement so beams could be run up and brace directly below the lift pads, probably...

appreciate all the replys below the garage there are two walls dividing (red lines) the space into 3 "rooms" these walls hold up rafters, above this is a plywood pan that the slab will be poured into, no idea about tensioning or anything like that, it was a spec build not sure on the thickness...

Moving soon to a new house, garage is 33x23, three bay across. Finally have a ceiling that is ~11.5' high.... But.. It is a suspended slab, great for storage below, accessed through the walk out basement. I have always wanted a lift and am wondering if a 4 post would work for me. Obviously I...

Scale sketch with Chevelle in the single bay, wifes Expedition in the double. My truck will fit also but to tight to mess with on a daily basis.

In the process of moving about 8 miles further out of town. From .22 acres to almost half acre. New house has a 3 across garage and 200sqft more space (700sqft). Excited to get started. Only disappointment is there is no space on the sides of the garage, talking about 8” on the sides of the...

Thanks I have the SC&C stage 2 kit; lowering springs f&r, adj. top a-arms, tall ball joints and 1.25" front sway bar. I like it so far but it is very low, scrapes a lot. I have not gotten to drive enough to really know how it will handle. I do not have a lift, i think you are referring to...

Thanks for the information, I will not be able to add a window but I am looking into lighting. Definetly next on the list and I do have easy access.

Thanks for the welcome, we just moved from Alaska so we are loving this weather right now. The Chevelle does have a 500, bored to 507". happy to share pictures, once i get a little further on the garage I hope to get back to work on the car.
