I ran a 30a 240v circuit to the ceiling in prep for a 2-post lift but I've done multiple engine and transmission swaps on jack stands so a lift isn't necessary, rather a luxury.

Circling back to add some final photos of the loft project. Previous batch of photos shows the structure built, this batch shows how the loft is utilized. Overall I'm very happy with the results. Evan Now you see it... ...now you don't! A view of the layout, ladder/access in the...

Hard to beat at attic ladder if you have limited space for stairs, I like this 60"x30" Louisville ladder a lot. With it's large opening and wider/deeper stairs I can (carefully) walk up or down with items in my hands so it's more like a steep staircase instead of a ladder. As for my joist...

I am following up to share the end product. Thanks to the group for the feedback. I am currently doing the rough wiring in the loft ceiling for 20a receptacles + a lighting circuit, I may add a railing or some sort of visual partition on the forward edge of the loft to conceal stored items...

I will have work benches and cabinets probably in a C-shaped orientation under the loft so I will need the ladder centrally located so it has a landing pad. I also like the idea of having the attic ladder centrally located since when I go up to access storage I should be able to reach most...

Hello all, first time poster but I have spent some time on this forum because I love garage projects and DIYing. I recently moved to a house which has a 3 car garage and the 3rd bay has 14ft ceilings and is 31ft deep. I describe it as a normal 2 car w/ an attached mini RV garage. Part of my...
