Not to derail this thread, but what's with the comments about radio static from the flourescent lights? Is that really a problem? Never heard of that before.

[Grigg]

1. Could not live without?
Forklift, didn't know it till I lucked into one and it's been extremely handy from the day it arrived.
2. Wouldn't miss?
dust and dirt
3. Missing from your current garage that would make it absolutely perfect?
A Rotary or Bendpack (undecided) ~12,000 lb two post lift would be great, but would still be a long way from "making the garage absolutely perfect"

Wouldn't miss anything that didn't belong in there (once it's built).
Make it perfect. A Mig/Tig welder.......no wait, a blaster and blast cabinet.........nope, a lift............then again hot and cold water and drainage would be nice.................and a bog (loo, WC, John, crapper).................a box of cash that never runs out..........
