The 14ft tall is high enough for anything unless your planning on working on semi trucks or the like. Most two post lifts require minimum 12ft height but 14ft gives you room if you ever need it. As far as some where to put stuff. I was planning a one car with a lift area minimum size 16x26...

Thanks for all the input guys. "psych 101" - Im just pretty beat up about it......... I had researched every waking second about everything there is to know about buying a house and missed the septic stuff. Building the garage was almost more important then buying the house at least to...

Im more informing and sharing information. I believe I'm on the right track on my only options at this time. Ive read a lot of stuff on here already and figured id add to help others resolve if I get mine figured out. So lets say my septic fails like say I flush 5,000$ worth of tampons down...

I might just run that septic stuff to the man made ditch way down in the back of the yard and never speak of this again. Or maybe ill just have to move. Id rather slam my face against a shovel for a month than go through the home buying parade again...What a scam/joke/sneaky/slimy/greasy/...

That is a lot of stuff up there..... I guess my thing is its just unreal that those is my options. Who knew....... Figured id share maybe it will save someone purchasing there first home. thanks, Rob

I am working on getting router rotter to locate the exact location of my field with a gps tracking probe. Maybe I can squeeze a small single car in a corner. I already tried the using a rod.....even got out the shovel....its deeper than 3ft.... I even tried the coat hangers to locate water...

Before that any septic talks with water protection I did explore the option of paying for connect to city sewer. I am in city limits and part of my subdivision is on sewer. Way down the street..... They referred me to the engineer of the department to see if it was possible. The short...

Well I purchased my first home a month ago with dreams of building my own epic garage. I did not know anything about septic systems. I have now read everything under the sun and talked to everyone about septic systems. I am now very aware of my mistake. I have talked to building codes...
