Hello from Tulsa

[Fignewton]

One of my friends from the ZZRBIKES forum led me here. I decided to lurk around to get a few ideas since I am having to redo my garage. I owned an Automotive repair facility here in Tulsa and closed it last week. Another casualty of the economy. I teach Automotive at a local private college and love what I do now.
I am liquidating all of my equipment and only keeping a few things like my Mig, Plasma cutter, drill press, cherry picker, Tool Box, etc.
Now I have to get all of this, my bike, car and before long a bike lift into a standard 2-car garage (two 8x7 doors).
I think I have stumbled upon a great place to help me along this new journey I am embarking upon.

P.S. If anyone has a home-built bike lift I would love to pics and/or specs on it.

Yeah, it's kinda like **** for gear heads. I suppose before long I will be putting some tools up for sale since I have at least two sets of most basic hand tools and don't need that many anymore.

Thanks, I have cousins in Amarillo. Kind of a nice spot out there in the middle of nowhere, haha.

I've started trying to arrange the garage but man what a lot of work. I was a bit daunting at first since all I did was just keep cramming stuff into it. I'll try to post a couple of pics so here goes:

And after some re-arranging, sorting and removal of items:


Still a long road ahead. Who would have thought it would be so hard to put a 6'6" long, 30 inch wide, 7' tall, 2500 pound toolbox up on a FOUR INCH TALL step?
