Mine is just a normal garage, so no pics.

However, with a forum ID like blondebombshell, I think we need pics.

Nice lift... always wanted one of those. Looks like from your garage door rail hangars that you have some height in there to really use that thing.

Thanks bud! I bought this lift at my last house (and only had a 9' ceiling in that garage). I made it mandatory to my wife (the house picker), that I get at least 12' this time. She is a good woman, and I got 14'!

I am working on the door lift kit so that the door will go straight up (and not out). That will allow me to lift all of the way with the door open.

The lift is the best $2k I have ever spent on car stuff!

I'll try to get a picture up. I spent the weekend putting Christmas away and took the opportunity to tidy up the garage.
