I had thicker footings poured, but they weren't needed for the hoist. The hoist guys told me a standard footing would be fine. Center inside height measure 12' 6". You could easily do 10 foot walls with a 4 post lift. It just means you will likely not be able to stand straight up under the...

1972. I really like the 67 body style as well. This pic was before my Edelbrock EFI install.

Thanks a lot! Ok your killin me! I am a tech geek and now your just filling my head with more cool ideas. Everything in the garage is on hand held remote turn on. Garage door is controlled by my phone. Security systems and drop cams all on phone. My automatic gate opener will also have a...

Got lots more done today. I am about 85%. Still have to install the ceiling fan, another overhead light, another lighted sign that is coming, compressor, various cords and hoses, my automatic gate openers, radiant heat panel with manifold and some minor touch ups. But its really coming around...

Oh man this was a big boy! More update pics coming tonight...

Looking to get the lift adjusted shortly! Have to address the side gate post I had to remove last night to get it down the driveway. Surprisingly only two small divits from the castor wheels and that was at the point it had grounded. I have some great neighbors. I helped them dig holes for...

I got the lift from advantage lofts. They arevhere in MN! It just came today. I will post pics tonight. I had to take down some fencing and am waiting for some strong neighbors to get home to bring it down. Got lots more done today. Taking a little break time as it is 90+ with a humidity...

Didn't get as much as I wanted to get done today. I swapped out a bad GFI circuit and it gave me fits. Cost me some hours today. I tore down my stop light to make it smaller removing the hoods and surround. Again took a while to modify and then had to re-wire it. I did do some fun stuff...

Got lots done today. Did all my outside work because it was 85 and partly sunny. Tomorrow really Hot!! First thing I tackled was my gutters and down spouts. Interesting doing this as a one man crew. Luckily I have lots of ladders!! This is a roll up down spout! Its like one of those...

Thanks Ben! Welcome!

Thanks. Private message me. You can come over and I can share some info...looking forward to seeing your first thread! Doing a four day weekend to complete a lot on the list. As of Saturday I should have all my gear! Got my stop light all wired up and prepped for paint. Will finish that...

1. It is a standard roofing material you can get at Menards, Home Depot, Lowes etc. It's pretty cheap. Usually it comes in 3' x 12' sheets and runs $12-13 a sheet. 2. Have not put in the winch yet. Going to build in a cross beam over the attic door. 3. I got the flooring through garage...

Thanks! We're going to have to visit each other's garage before winter...

Its amazing when you hit it a little every night how much gets done! I built my new little beefy shop cart. Makes life easier getting things from the upper garage to the lower garage. Got the upper cabinets done and put together and installed. Man they are pretty heavy!! Got the lowers...

Thanks Dennis. You can see it is not always easy...But I am having fun :willy_nil
