The arms are my biggest gripe with my 10k. They fit my Odyssey and Ram 4x4, but not my Audi. And the Audi was the main reason I bought it.

Added the Craigslist temporary garage doors. I bought them long before I had decided to gut the whole place. I had originally planned one just turning the middle section into a shop and leaving the horse stalls. I need wider and taller door but the budget says I have to stick with what I...

I'll need to upgrade that circuit. I tripped the 20 amp breakers tonight.

Finally got to use it tonight. The onside isn't clicking which tells me the safety isn't engaging properly. Here the the link to the whole project...

First operation of the lift tonight. 4500 pound truck no problem. This project has taken so much more work than I expected. The barn has gone from a 4 stall horse barn to a auto shop. I've move trusses and added two partial trusses to the top of the lift. Next steps... Insulate the wood...

Moved the trusses and put up 16 stringers to reinforce the original 2x4s.

I've been out of town since Monday, so I've been unable to do much follow up. We did get the bases upright last Saturday.

Got them upright. That's enough for today. Next I need to side 3 rafters over then reinforce the roof.

All this time all I thought I needed was 4" concrete @ 3500psi. In the paperwork it mentions pads 2' x 2' by 1 foot thick. I did have pads put in when I poured, just not that big. I did 1' x 1' 5" thick. Wish that bit of information was on the web site.

Lift is in... progress is slow

Got mine in today. 15 weeks on an 8 week quote. So far I like what I'm seeing.

Your are indeed. More work to come.

Concrete in. Waited 8 days to cure. Tonight worked on my car on concrete for the first time in over 3 years.

Im excited for concrete tomorrow. Weather permitting. Wood shop Main shop. Lift is 151" as ordered. Worried the lift I ordered won't fit. Calling Worth tomorrow to see about alterations. Will need to vault a portion of the ceiling.
