    Wow what a great place, so much much potential. The loft over shop idea was exactly what I dreamt of in my early 20's! Would have been awesome. Nice of the PO to throw in the appliances/equipment, have you had a chance to do any spot welding with the microwave? (; cheers!

    Adding 2 by 6's to garage ceiling - how?

    No need to add extra rafters, what I would do is add strapping to the existing trusses on 16" or 24" centers to accommodate your Sheetrock. Yes you can remove those corner braces, the strapping and Sheetrock will do the job.

    Need advice on fixing a sagging/drooping roofline

    Derek Weaver 2-post lift...Can I use Trans fluid instead of Hydraulic?

    I wonder if maybe you have a partially blocked or restricted relief valve. Pretty sure it's easy to check. Threaded into the side of your pump assembly under the handle.
