Hi,
Mike Hawkins here. Found this site the other day while searching for info on twin post lifts. I am a retired firefighter(since 12/04) and a carpenter by trade. I used to build houses when the economy was better, scaled down to kitchen and bath remodels. I am in the process of adding onto my shop building. The original building is 28' x 56'. I am putting on a 28' x 36' add't to make the building L-shaped. My mechanic son is getting one bay with a twin post lift. I look forward to reading a bunch of the threads here and maybe answering some questions if it's something I know about.
Mike

Welcome to GJ, Mike. I wish my current shop were as large as your old, small, little 28 x 56. Post some progress shots of your shop as you go.

Does your screen name have anything to do with the Pontiac?

No it doesn't. Just a blend of my former occupation and last name.
Just about finished with my shop addition. Trying to make the final decision on a lift. Looking at a Bendpack 10000# assymetrical unit. Seems like the more you read on all these lifts, the more confusing it gets. Here's a few pics.
