I'm going to eventually drop in a couple of mini splits, so hopefully they won't get that hot! I'm sure the HVAC guy will tell me the best spot to put the evap units. I'd assume he's going to want to go on opposing sides of the garage.

Good looking setup. How much room were you going to have if you put it in the other bay? As it sits I'm going to have about 29" from the post to the CMU portion of the wall, the outside portion of the ramp will be about 45" from the CMU portion of the wall. I think that'll be enough room to...

Thank you, and it's kind of a dream attached garage setup for me. I'll eventually build a detached behind the house, but this one will be great for now! You make very good points and it makes me feel better about my initial thoughts! This lift is 110" from outside to outside of the posts, so...

It’d be easy enough to just put 220v outlets in the ceiling above those two spots. I wouldn’t think that’s a common occurrence but it’s a nice failsafe.

I did get ramps, but it’s just the stock ones. I’d like longer ones, and I’ll likely have my local fabrication shop make some for me.

I'll likely grab the race rams, or have my local fab shop make some aluminum ramps. I'm for sure not paying 1200 bucks for ramps! The rolling jack is going to be the big addition to the lift.

It does not come with the caster kit. That kit is rather expensive, should I quit being cheap and just buy the darn kit!? Lol. As far as what car works with what, the power wagon is the limiting vehicle. That's the only thing that won't fit under the lift, everything else is pretty low...

I'm really hoping that's not the case! I enjoy driving the car. I've also thought about this too. The truck may just have to live outside!

I will have the side mount garage door openers, and the electrical/controls wires are already run to where they will be. The doors will be tucked as close to the ceiling as possible. I've got an awesome construction manager, who knows and understands exactly what I'm trying to do, as far as...

The CMUs are laid out as the total dimensions, ramps included. If you look, there is one brick towards the wall, that is where the other post will be, lol. Sorry, I didn't expect that picture to be analyzed!

The garage is deep enough to have the ramps installed, and still have about 4.5’ in front of it. I don’t really want to push it up to the wall because I’d like to walk the if possible.

That's the plan, I just didn't know if someone had a good starting point, or had been through these pains before!

Hello all, long time lurker here, finally going to have a garage worth discussing, ha! I've got a dilema... I'm sure that this has been discussed, but I can't find my exact question. So please humor me! I'm having a house built and it's going to be an oversized side load 3 car garage with a...

Just read the entire build thread. What a garage and what vehicles! I'm active duty Navy and we sadly don't have many of those types of vehicles running around anymore. Just "commercial" fords and chevys. I'm truly jealous of your garage. I wish I could have something like that. Maybe when...
