What if you built a pole barn of the size that you want and build a raised floor attached to the poles. I'm thinking metal decking with about 2" of concrete. That is how second story decks are build around here and we get lots of frost. When your lease is up, the concrete floor could be broken...

Where are the doors?

If you're planning on storing a third car on the lift, you need 12 feet of ceiling height. I have a 24' wide garage and went with a 4 post. A two post has a post in the center of the floor, right where you want to open the car door H

I bought an old electric golf cart that needed batteries. I cheated and put 3 RV batteries (36v). It doesn't have the jam that new GC batteries would have especially on hills but for my purposes it works perfectly. Electric carts that need batteries go cheap. H

Thank you for all your replies. I was looking on Amazon and for the price of their griddles, I think this aluminum plate will become something else. I have no idea what. Does anyone have an idea for a piece of aluminum 18"x36"x.5". Thanks again H

I live about an hour west of you. what I have done is a rain barrel year round. I put a stock trough heater in the barrel for the winter and when a sump pump with a float. If the barrel gets full of ice, plug in the heater for a day and then put in the sump pump to pump the water away. The pump...

I have a suction screen on mine. It makes quite a difference H

One thing that came to mind is that when you walk by the assy, you should give it a spin so the rollers rotate once in a while. Otherwise the race could get pitted over time. H

The front marker lights on a trailer are supposed to be orange, are they not? H

Much easier to wash the floor as well H

Not entirely sure if a "radiator" would handle the pressure. An AC condenser would, if you can find one with large enough tubing H
