Don't completely seal it up, or there will be condensation issues. It needs to be vented.

Thank you for all the advice, suggestions, and welcomes. I'm definitely looking at going for storage in the trusses. Also going to be putting up a high shelf around the perimeter of the garage that can hold storage bins, etc. Primarily I will just be doing maintenance and minor work. My...

Not really planning on a lift at this point. Probably in the next house. I'm 33 and getting married this year, and have saved to build this garage so i'll be happy just to be up off the dirt and gravel. The 26' deep scenario won't work due to the site layout. I really appreciate the ideas though.
