Good eye, it's a J35A4

Thats pretty awesome, never thought of having it sideways like that. I'd really like it to come off the front of the loft in the middle so I can bring it down with cars parked there. Just not sure how to keep the counter weights out of the way. Got some more work done. I wanted to redo the...

Turns out starting college and buying a house at the same time makes for some slow progress. But progress was made. First things first, never did post any exterior shots. Its a bit rough. Exterior siding/sheathing is rather thin hardiboard material. I'm not sure if I'll have to re-sheath the...

Started working on a model in Sketchup to get a feel for the space. Main structure built, and the two 'big' cars are in... looks like I'll have room. Even have OSB for the loft flooring. And 2 post lift, because in Sketchup land I actually have money.

First time for everything, 24x36 overhaul. Whew, now that the "must do ASAP" list is about done in the house, I can start looking towards the garage. Finding a house with a two car garage in town and around my budget was proving to be difficult, so when this place popped up I had to have it...
