Thanks everyone!

Looking to store. I currently have a QuickJack for working on the car when I need. A lift would be easier, but the main thing is storage. The house is a raised foundation but the garage is a slab. I don’t know what a “continuous foundation” is? It’s an attached garage with three steps up to...
