I got a rough estimate from a concrete contractor today for a 28 X 42 pad with 36" deep foundations at $14,000. This was just the concrete, rebar and finishing. No site prep included in that number. He was using $40 per linear foot for the foundation adn $6.50 a square foot for the pad. The...

I agree with ddawg, there is a lot more that goes into the consideration of attaching to your house. I looked into this before settling on a detached because the additional costs of adding support to the existing foundation so the ground could be dug out for a lower garage floor, roof...

I doubt Chrysler actually makes that hitch, it likely comes from one of the "aftermarket" manufacturers. The information is pretty good on their websites....Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Curt and Valley are a few of the majors that come to mind. I would go directly to their sites and check...

The security light should be flashing if this is the case.

I have been looking at these too but don't have any personal experience yet. I know my number one criteria is that they must be the self-jacking kind. In other words, I don't want to have to use a floor jack or a lift to load the car on the dollies. Other than that, I have been looking at...

Thanks, I'll check them out but I do really like the wheel adapters from Mohawk but Mohawk is very pricey.

milner351, What kind of lift do you have?

I am still in the research stage myself but if I go with long-side entry into the building I am thinking of setting mine closer to the door than the front wall by a foot or two. I will mainly be working around the sides and front of anything on the lift and less frequently on the rear. I am...

Thank you. There are some very well documented builds here and I am going to try to document my process as well. I have never posted pictures to a bulletin board before so here is a try with a picture of the Vette and the tow rig.

Been lurking here for a few weeks, what a great site! Getting ready to meet with an architect to design a 30 X 40 shop with a second story for entertainment. Pricing will dictate how far we go with finishing the second story right now. The shop will definitely be a working shop. Cars are my...
