Another Classic Weaver Lift! Woo Hooo! I'm the other member Volaredon referenced that PM'd him for some info. I have the AFH-88. It's a "Space Miser". While I didn't necessarily need a "Space Miser" unit with 12' ceilings, couldn't pass up the GREAT price for such a tank like built unit!

Delay in responding as I was on vacation for the past couple weeks (2500 smiles on the Shelby for mountain cruising and Mustang 50th Celebration in Charlotte, NC) Goosman, Butterworth Builders out of Greenville did my build (Excellent work), I chose pole over stick for many reasons - Cost, ease...

bld movs, we may have to start a stang stable topic section as their appears to be a good number of Mustangs here, LOL 07SGT2875 (Black) Bought new from dealer lot in 8/08. 07SGT5529 (White) followed up this past summer. Flood salvage from Hurricane Sandy. Plan is to put in roll cage, racing...

Thanks for the info Mr C. Now that you mention it, I see the ponies! My current stable consists of (2) 07 Shelby GT's (2nd one picked up this past summer to feed my track addiction). They are the primary reason for my build as well.

While I've been collecting some "Garage Art" for some time now (banners, posters, metal signs, etc....). I recently found the centerpiece for the new stable. Was in the sellers BIL family for 30+years. Located 5 hours away, however, a friend of mine lives close to the seller and has picked it...

More framing done over the weekend. North wall is now complete. Also completed a set of stairs for the loft.

Looking good. Did you use the J channel for the ceiling? If so, how did you attach it?

Great work on the shop. Already in the process of borrowing the tailgate bench! I've been planning to do the steel panels for ceiling from the start. Now that my framing between posts is nearly complete, I'm beginning to scratch my head on the installation of J channel for the ceiling? While...

More progress over the past week or so. Ductwork finished up. First of 3 vents for workbench area. 2 others will be 6" round vents when ceiling gets finished. One of the 3 bay vents fed with 8" insulated round duct. (Lighting is temporary) Gas line to furnace complete. Vent Flue in...

Really like the cabinet! Great work on the whole garage. 10 Tandem T-8's, if doing my math correctly, you have 40 4' T-8 bulbs? Still trying to determine my light layout for my 32x40x12.

First off, Nice Pony for the stable! :3gears: As for sharing the HVAC with the house, even if by some odd chance it passes code, not sure your going to want exhaust and other fumes passing through the house! Might also consider a solid fire proof door between house and garage.

My first choice was a smaller load center, however, couldn't find one at a better cost then the Square D. After researching this for months, this one was chosen due cost as well as interchangeable breakers with the Square D units in the house and the pole barn panel. Since it's on the side of...

Thanks for the compliments! Made some progress this weekend on the furnace ducting. A friend came over to show me how to work with tin. Brought along with him the appropriate tools necessary to do the job. We cut the supply and return plenums down to size. That was accomplished yesterday...

Loft Progress Upon completion of the wall framing, it was time to move onto decking for the loft. Since I had a pile of various sized 3/4" plywood stashed, it was time to piece together a puzzle: Then it was time to place the ductwork and furnace. Both are merely in place at the moment...

Progress on Room And now some interior build pics. Started framing the air compressor/storage room last weekend. 6' 6" wide by 13' 4" deep with 2x8's used for loft joist's.

Next up, Pics of inside full of materials. Craigslist has been good to me. First up are some PICS of the Vintage Weaver AFH-88 lift. Next is the pile of 2x4's to be used for framing between posts and wall framing for the room: Lights, and insulation:

Next up installing the 3 overhead 9x8 doors with 30" high rise kit. Initial plan was to have windows in top panel to provide light. After installation, I wasn't sure I liked this configuration. Then came along my next issue/hurdle. After installing, encountered a clearance issue with the...

Next up was electrical. Portion of this was hired out to an electrician friend. Since the house had a 100amp service feeding a service panel that wouldn't be easy to upgrade, it was determined the best course of action was to upgrade to 200amp meter socket, that feeds a 200 amp outside main...

Here is the start of the second coat: Another advantage with this sealer, heavy traffic can commence 12 hours later. I waited til the next day for any traffic: Also did a water test the day after 2nd coat was pplied: While it may look slippery, I can attest that it's not any more...

Erecting the building and cement work was hired out. Other work was done by myself with help from Dad and son. I also opted to hang the overheads myself. The next phase was back to me, floor sealer. While I like the looks of a good quality epoxy floor, I didn't want the expense, the wait...
