The installer I spoke with in Connecticut (TheLiftGuys) also spoke very very highly of advantage. Suffering from a car disease; incurable and expensive to treat

Funny you bring up the compressed air. It’s also one of the reasons I was looking at atlas. I have a compressor but it seems like it would be a pain in the *** to kick that thing on and wait for it to build pressure just to lock the ramp. Plus one more thing to break. What did you get in the...

Thanks. It is 34 wide x 20 deep. Ceiling at low are 9 and 14 at the center Suffering from a car disease; incurable and expensive to treat

Thanks. And yes, the entire structure - including roof, hanging doors, siding, was one day. Legitimately one of the craziest things I’ve seen. The Jeep thing is actually my own little invention - bought a hoist from harbor freight, a few straps and built the ghetto gantry hoist with some 2x4s...

Oh yeah - taxes are suffocating and trending worse. If I wasn’t so tied down with family I’d have run a long time ago! Suffering from a car disease; incurable and expensive to treat

Seriously! And good god did I argue. I live in coastal Connecticut - about 1/3 mile from the ocean. Code requires all storm drainage from my property to be able to sustain a certain amount of rain per hour - the thinking is that it will prevent flooding of sewage systems during large storms. The...

Thanks all for the information - super helpful and much appreciated. I’m definitely debating between the “safe bet” like a Bendpak HD-9 and something like the ASE Deals lift which is significantly cheaper but being sold by a reputable dealer. Deep down I know that going with the bendpak is...

Interior shots: Suffering from a car disease; incurable and expensive to treat

With walls poured and drainage in, we proceeded to backfill the foundation and grade the lot for my new driveway design - it changed substantially from the original And required engineers from the city, surveyors, planners, zoning - i think Jesus even made an appearance at one point I...

Once footers were poured, the walls with a **** ton of rebar were also poured And drainage was added - lots of drainage including 9 cultec storm water chambers to prevent storm water from entering the city sewer system - only in socialist Connecticut could a 600 SF garage require this nonsense...

Started by moving a gas line - that went surprisingly well and was done in a matter of hours : Then started digging for footers and the nightmare began: One we reached China with the dig, 17 feet of gravel, compacted every 12 inches had to be brought in - then covered with a foot of solid...

Ok, folks - I’ve mooched and lurked on these forums for quite some time. I learned a lot - and it inspired a lot of ideas for my garage build. It’s now been done for about a year and I’m just starting to settle in and think about how to finish (or not) the interior. The build was a nightmare...

I’m also here from Connecticut - I spent a year lurking on these forums before building my 34x20 three car. It is an amazing resource!

I admit it, I’ve lurked and mooched off the wisdom of this great forum for over a year. Today, I come out - to share my limited knowledge with those foolish enough to listen. I’m located in Connecticut and I’m an owner and lover of two Jaguars, a Nissan, a Jeep and a Volvo. I also - in large...

Hi all, this is my first thread on here - you’ve all given me a tremendous amount of knowledge as I built my three car detached garage. I will post pictures when I’m allowed to - currently restricting me for some reason! My question is, do you care about ALI certification for four post lifts...

Only thing I’d offer - consider getting two separate four post lifts as opposed to The double wide. I have a very close friend with a double wide bendpak and he says it’s a pain to move the two cars beneath just to get one off the top. And in your case with other cars parked in front, you’d be...

I put a WiFi mesh system in my home from deco - amazing service now across my home and garage.
