Lifts sure are handy. To answer your question I am looking at a scissor lift, otherwise I might do a 4 post and not use it to the full height potential. I didn't like the 2 post setup, both for getting on in just the right spot to get the pads under the right part of each specific car, and then...

Glad I could "help". X....

I know the new owner of the old house. I need to make some time to go back and take a look. I'm working on it. I should put together a little "before" and "where it's at now" soon I'm working on it. Perhaps the single and the double will look like the ones you had/have! Thanks, and yes, but...

I like the setup!! Looks like you pay attention to the details. I've been debating what to do in my current house. I have a 20 x 20 single garage with a 9-1/2 foot ceiling (with I beam at a lower height). I think a midrise sort of lift will be the right answer. Seeing your build is inspiring...

Love it, well planned out and organized. I could move right in. Haha X...

This looks great! All the extra details like breaking up the front of the building with the car port, and the wood details on the side with the craftsman door, really nice! I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for updates. x...

Sorry for the delay in posting on this thread, it's been a busy year getting settled into the new house. Here are just a few quick pictures of the house and the garage setup. I don't have any interior shots right now, but I"m working on it. Both garages are 21 x 21, the one just has a single...

Nice build. I like all the finishing touches that make it stand out from a "regular" metal building. X...

Depending on the state you live in, you may need steel with steel frame to meet fire code. X...

Bench looks great! the update comes at a good time, I need to build a new bench. X...

Looks a lot better, good work! X...

Thanks for the kind words. There were many reasons for the pole barn, but most pointed toward the cost. The lower cost in concrete, and the lower impact on the property tax bill. Now that I've gone full circle, I would do the same thing again. X...

Looking good! How tall is the ceiling? A little over 9'? I ask because I am moving to a garage that will have about the same, and I am back and forth about getting a 2 post like I have in the current garage, or a 4 post. X...

Thanks for the quick replies. I think the race Ramps will be the answer. I was just looking for something that works well. I need Ramps to get my car into the 2 post I have now, if that gives you any idea of how low my cars are. I guess it's time to invest in air suspension.... X...

I'm looking into 4 posts right now as well, I have a 2 post from direct lift, and I like it, but I also see where the savings are. That being said, for the 4 post I can't seem to get solid information about the ramp lengths. On the Bendpak my friend has they are only 20" measured from ramp to...

I keep a tool bag of stuff that I would normally use for "house" stuff, and minor carpentry work. That along with an impact driver and a drill. The other stuff stays in the 'shop" x...

Looks great! I certainly hear you on the hiring out for stuff. X...

Thanks! Already brainstorming for then new place. My wife walked in while I was drawing out a rough floor plan and mapping out my options at 1am on a random tuesday, she is now convinced I am crazy. :dunno: X....

Re: Xander's 24 x 32 2 car "garage" build Thanks dubber, the garages are on the same side of the house, the one is a side load, the other faces the road. X....

Bump. It's been a while since I updated this thread. Long story short, this will probably be the last update to this thread. I sold the house and within a month I should be all moved out. I'm going to miss this place, but the journey was awesome, and I'm sure I'll do it again. The new house...
