OK, so I am recently retired {35 years old}.
And I have a detached garage but it has become a huge mess of storage since I sold my business. Last week while trudging through the snow to my garage I thought, "man I would like to have a lift in my attached garage" and many times I have been working in my detached in the summer and though "man I wish I had air conditioning in here".
Well I cam up with a solution, I am going to put a lift in my attached garage! When I built the house I made sure I had high ceilings {although small doors 9wx8h} the celings are 13ft.
so I called the gentleman who has sold me lifts in the past and he gave me a price I could live with for a Forward dp10 lift {I like forward lifts for the money, they have treated us well}, $3300 delivered installed with tax included {he came a good distance to install it, I thought it was fair}...
So that is all installed the door guys are coming to install a wall mounted opener and high lift track next week, I am half way done running a 60a sub panel, I bought a 60 ga compressor, and I had a matched heat pump unit dropped off {won't install the outside unit until the snow is gone}.
The last thing I am going to do {should have been the first I know} is going to be to have the floor coated.
I have a central vac unit out there and hot and cold faucets, I am going to also install a hand sink later on too, just haven't nailed down where I am going to put it yet...
Does anyone have a similar setup to what I am doing? Any pics or good idea for something I am missing? thanks
