My parents love theirs. X...

Therma tru sells their door slabs to all kinds of “door hangers” that can make some real lousy frames. I’m gonna guess that’s where the core of the problem is. Making a drip cap from under the siding, over the top of the brickmould and out will help for the new frame you should put in. Also...

The build in my sig matched the house pretty close. Same siding, size and color of trim, even the roof pitch was just about the same. I think with it matching it was easier to sell, especially for "wife" approval. I had to sell my house a second time when the first buyer couldn't come up with...

I want my next garage to have a 2nd floor open to below so I can have a nice view of the cars below, especially when the cars are brought up to 2nd floor heights via 4 posts.

They are made by Highloft https://www.knapeandvogt.com/store/tire-storage-units I have the folding tire loft ones, I've had 4 sets now, and they are great for the money. You can see one up on the wall here. X...

I'm glad I bought a more "generic" brand lift. https://www.bestbuyautoequipment.com/car-storage-parking-lift-car-park-8-plus-tall-8000-p/autolift-car-park-8plusp.htm it had some scratches, the instructions could have been better, but for $2700 with a bridge jack, I am glad I went that way over...

I don't see the big deal of her parking under a 4 post. The wide and tall units have the posts far enough apart that it isn't that hard to park under... My door is 9' x 7' tall, and the posts are almost as far apart as the door X...

Thanks. That is actually me. LOL I understand what you are saying about getting it right, especially working from a clean slate. I am starting to think that some sort sloped approach might help you. If you recess the posts and deck into the floor, you could never park a car underneath. X...

My car scrapes when I go through certain slight uphill corners and even humps across intersections. Anyway I don’t scrape onto my 4 post with 24” ramps X...

Those exterior lights look great! Back on the subject, I’ve used the hot dawg heaters in 2 garages now and have not had any complaints about efficiency of the units. They barely put a dent in my monthly gas and electric bills as far as I can tell. I normally keep the garage at 50F and crank...

This does look awesome and is exactly what I am looking to do in my smaller garage. One question I have is the previous owner of my house (2004 build) had snowmobiles and the floor is all scratched from the sled, will something like this “fill in” those scratches? Also I have a 4 post in...

Check my thread in my sig, the garage is 24 x 32, but same idea. 2’ from the sidewall with the post, and plenty of room for a bench and such. If photobucket pictures don’t work for you, use google chrome with the photobucket “fix” extension. X...

I’ve used AZEK a decent amount. I really like it. The glue they sell works well. They also sell fasteners with drill bits and plugs that fill in the holes you make with the screws. They are not cheap, but from 2’ away you really can’t tell there are any fasteners. Close up From 2’ I am...

Nice work. I grew up like you wrenching in the cold. Since the first garage with heat, I can’t do without now. lol X...

My 4 post sits in a similar spot, the actual smallest footprint is 15 x20. That is about as narrow as is comfortable, but I do have a 2’ deep bench on the one side. All in all I would say you are ok to get one, just keep in mind the garage door height when in the open position. X....

Looks like a lot of fun. I can’t wait until my 3&4 year old boys are old enough for that stuff!!! X...

I'll start with the engines LOL First engine is a 997 Carrera S 3.8L X....

My thought too, thanks! X....

I have the 4 post now, but I don't think it is that easy to snake past it. X...

I didn't know there was such and extention, thanks for the heads up, and the kind words!!! X....
