Where to start. Well we never had a garage growing up so I had a tool box in my room and would work in the street. Yada yada yada, ended up with a 22x14 garage. Happy with where she came from to what she is becoming. Here are some photos along the way.

I'd say this was phase 1. Still a lot of clutter, no overhead storage yet. Still lots of lawn stuff mixed in.

Finally got the walls cleared off a little, put the car tucked against the wall.

Finally did a loft over the garage door, then in the back and double decker shelving around 3/4 of the garage

Then this gave me the inspriation to get a 2 post. I had always wanted one and looked into the bp8000 at that point forward. The bendpak scissor lift worked ok, but didnt allow me to store 2 cars easily.

Future,
Looking to build shelving with a work bench, more useful overhead storage, light up the place with 6 overhead lights, Currently doing a 40amp subpannel to run the new 220v lift. Thank everyone.

Does the outdoor lift make it hard to "drive in" to the garage?

I am also curious if those are two different locations (?) the pic with the outdoor lift has white trim around the garage while the Mohawk lift has brown-ish trim...or maybe a repaint :)

What paint did you use for the arms? Came out great, anymore pictures of the lift in operation?
