    My dream come true - lift in the garage

    I have to agree on the lift...one of the greatest investments. I just got a motorcycle lift too that will double as an adjustable height work surface too. Info is listed below in the link to my shop build.

    PEX air lines?

    A while back I seen some blue pex at Menards that was rated 200psi. It wasn't the regular stuff they normally carry that's why I noticed it. I didn't pay close attention if it was Pex-AL-Pex or just regular pex. Just that that it was 200 psi. There are numerous threads on this subject though.

    Bendpak VS Forward 2 post lifts VS ???

    You won't likely be disappointed with the Atlas. One thing that would be interesting to find out is the column steel thickness of the Bendpak. The Atlas OH-10x I have is .1875 but I couldn't find the Bendpak listed. I do like the drive through clearance of my OH-10x. It's about the widest that I...

    Bendpak VS Forward 2 post lifts VS ???

    Yep I would definitely skip out on that Autolift, looks cheap. I wouldn't want to stand under it. I wouldn't have a problem with the Bendpak or Atlas. They both have a very good track record.

    Town Zoning laws

    Yep I agree, don't say anything more than what's needed. Keep your doors shut and windows covered(great excuse for heat and A/C). What you plug into your building is your business. Look up definitions, ordinances, and facts. Call their bluffs and write complaints about the employees. Discreetly...

    Attached shed questions.

    If you attach it to the garage, it has to have a foundation below the frost line. So you have to figure out if you want to attach it or leave it free standing and just run lines through the the walls. Then plan from there accordingly.

    My new almost dream shop 25x32

    I didn't name the trusses, I'm just telling you what they are referred to as. Sorry i didn't measure the height of trusses at each end. I haven't noticed any issues with the walls.

    My new almost dream shop 25x32

    They are parallel chord trusses, roof is 5/12 and bottom chord is 3.5/12. They were just carried in by me and a helper then set on the top plates hanging down then just slid them along the top plates and tipped them up into position. They are pretty light weight, probably no more than 90lbs each.

    My new almost dream shop 25x32

    Not yet anyway, I don't wash anything inside though. The panels would be room temp with the R38 insulation above it.
