tsrh.

Typical cheap chinese **** that cheapo-depot and (b)Lowe's sell... not worth the bird metal it's made of...

We did that in our attic when we built the house, the builder very nicely upgraded the joists for the load, then decked part of it out, and even left extra plywood for more decking. :cool: Now to turn the attic stairs around...

I'm sorry, you are not allowed to use the term "lazy" in association with you or your shop, ever. Edit: for some reason, I can't get strikethrough letters to work... :mad:

TSRH. And laziness. Lots of laziness. And don't forget the "anthropological" organizational method: the older it is, the deeper it is. Super-simple method, goes to hell when the S.O. decides to "clean up", or some ****-retentive cook goes postal and puts the tools in the dishwasher, and...

The only problem with this is, when I toss something like that, I will almost IMMEDIATELY need it shortly after tossing. This is a perfect example of Murphy's Law; and that motherfvkker lives on my shoulder!! :shocking:

By the way, Paul: do you have pics or drawings of how you've laid your garage out?? Sicne you've got the same problem I have, I assume you've got to put both cars in as well, and that means any workbench space is nil, not to mention storage, and i'd love to see how you work around it. Again...

But it actually isn't ON the door, if you look closely--so they skirted the whole issue there!! :lol_hitti

Good job on the ceiling lift. To clear some more space (for that pesky SUV, of course!), you could use a jackshaft garage door opener. I got a pair from Liftmaster, that are excellent units, and were able to lift 16'x8' doors very easily, and had a number of nice features. This way, you'll...
