    Weaver Auto Lift?

    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!

    Attached 2-car auto enthusiast garage

    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...

    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...
