I am getting close to creating a thread in the gallery and want to put in pics of my build along with PDFs of my plans. I had previously used photobucket and the links are always busted. So what is everyone using for hosting pics ?

So I just got the 1st set of plans for my new detached garage project from my architect and was underwhelmed by the slab he specified: 6" gravel + 4" cement with 6x6 10/10 WWM I am not impressed.... By way of background, this is going to be a 30'x56' garage, detached, and insulated space in...

Ok so I was originally thinking of getting a bendpak HD14T because it was 126" wide with a rise of 82"... I have a Porsche Cayenne and a Ford Raptor truck and liked the flexibility of being able to park either under the lift. Truth be told, the lift is going in the Cayenne garage bay so 82" is...
