The city code requires brick, masonry, or stucco siding if I do a metal building. Or I could just build...

    Industrial style shelving

    Has anyone used the husky brand shelves? Think pallet rack style, but not as big. Home Depot has the 18” depth ones marked at just over 100 bucks and thinking of snagging a couple to keep boxed parts on and possibly engines and transmissions.

    Lift in short garage?

    Has anyone put one in a low ceiling garage? Mine has a height of 8'1". Obviously I'm not going to be able to walk under a car but to be able to bring it up to high enough to make suspension at chest height would be great. My race car build is 36-40" tall so that would give me about 48" of...

    Anyone here rent/lease a shop space?

    My brother in law and I are out of space for all our tools, cars, and trailer with more to be coming soon and are considering doing this. Cost will be a factor obviously but we both do a little side work that could offset a good chunk of that.

    I'll probably only use it the one time on a couple brake lines so I don't want to break the bank. But I'd like to have it last if I do need it again

But the snap on in priced at 1600. I'd say good overall condition, few scratches and a small dent on bottom right drawer
