Thanks mate. That sounds like a plan. I can't wait to tell my wife the good news (well for me that is) She is not sold on the garage being built, but if we are staying in this house, I need just a bit more space.

Thanks so much LLWillysfan. This is super helpful. I was really dreading having to pour a foundation for the cost reasons. My area drains very well. I'm basically on top of a mountain.Adding that thickened section around the perimeter shouldn't be a major encumbrance regarding additional cost...

I looked through this thread and didnt see an answer so I figure I'll ask here since LLWillysfan seems to be a font of wisdom... I am going to likely build a detached garage next year and will wait until climate is acceptable for a pour. I have been reading and looking at other detached garage...

Stop using that stove. Besides the obvious issues, it appears from the pic that neck has been repaired/re=welded before and a bad job at that. You need to get a professional in there who knows what he/she is doing and either get a new neck welded on, and or have a stove professional inspect that...

I think 4 feet would be the minimum if I was designing a garage. 4 feet infront of the lift is also minimum. I like to have my rolling tool cart near where I'm working so consider your preferences as well as your workspace needed.

OK Sorry. So the answer is NO. A rotary RBJ will not work in a BendPak lift.

Hey man, I have a bendpak hd-7w and I fit mine into a regular 2 car garage by getting a little creative. I went all the way up to my concrete foundations on the one side and was able to get it to fit very snug in my garage. I had to actually take out a portion of my stairs in order to get it to...

My vote is the portable Generator with the interlock kit. I have propane at my house and we lost power for 4 days. I just hooked it up and have a dual fuel 8000w generator, and it works great. I just pull it out grab the cord and the propane supply hose hook it up and I'm off to the races. I...

This thread is super helpful. I was looking into these lights for my garage. I have 12 1/2 height ceilings and was going to install them between the rafters. I was thinking 4, but I might go with 6 as I do a lot of detailing in my garage and would rather have more light than not enough.

Moderators, Please close or delete the thread. I got the answer from one of the forum members via PM.

Agree. Any way you can get more height now, you should do it. I only have 12 1/2 feet in mine, and I really wish I had an extra 2-4 feet. I can store my Challenger in the winter and park my wife's car under it, but I can't do the same with my Lifted GX.

Hi all, first post here. I've lurked for a while checking out garage build threads and also got my ideas and suggestions by searching this forum when I ended up buying my Bendpack HD-7W 4 post lift. I have an opportunity to get some used, but apparently in good shape Rotary 7000 lb rolling...
