Looks great, I just finished mine as well, I will post picks soon. I noticed you bought your cabinets from Lowes, at least I know they sell them like that. I decided to buy the hard plastic cabinets instead, hoping they would last longer and hold up better, but your's do look great.

Bought a 6 x 8 storage shed around the same time I started the garage project. With the purhcase of several garage items as part of the project, I put my riding mower, trimmers and all kinds of other crap (that use to be in the garage) in the shed. Man, I needed that shed as much as I needed the lift

At first, I opted for another product which was $350 less. And boy did I regret it. After getting 60% of the floor down, I noticed the RED color from the RED tiles was coming off!!! It even rubbed on to the white tiles!
The seller was very good though. Initially I was going to be charged with 15% restocking fee and i was going to be out shipping both ways. That came to $360!!! But when they saw the defect themselves, they apologized and gave me full credit reimbursed me on my shipping. The only thing I was out was the several days it took to install and uninstall and pack. The ordeal prolonged the project almost 4 weeks

Hey Mark,
Looks great - I love the decking.
OK, now fess up on your newest scissor lift ramp solution - I can't quite make out how they are constructed - but they look trick
My scissor lift is going to be in soon and i'm trying to nail down (pun intended) a solution
Thanks,
Chris

Looks great Mark! I want to re-do my garage, too. My wife has given me the greenlight so I gotta start thinking and planning.

Generally regarded as the best scissor lift available - U.S. made. Very nice.
I was going to buy a Norco, but the local sales rep was not responsive and their distribution guy couldn't find the phone.
I ended up buying a Bend-Pak from a local guy.
