It looks like a really cool house in a really great location. I guess being a "software engineer" is not a bad gig.

The driveway lift IMO is a waste of money. I guess it's sort of a cool gimic that nobody will ever forget, however I would have rather put the money into another secure structure vs. simply a lift for cars out of the basement bunker.

...and what ever I had left over, I would buy a few Corvette Z06s!

I have a velvet picture of Elvis in my garage accented by LED lighting, but I didn't want it to be featured on the show because I don't want my neighbors to know I'm wealthy.

I had been wanting a 2 post lift for the garage but now I need to start shopping at military surplus stores!! Anybody know of any aircraft carriers being parted out?

I want to build a garage with no doors and just raise the whole garage whenever I need to move a vehicle.


On a serious note I did help construct a garage addition for a local private pilot who has a grass landing strip at his home. We installed an aircraft hanger hydraulic door to which we applied cedar siding, residential windows and a walk-in door. When the door is closed it looks like a normal residential room addition. Raise the door, the whole end of the addition, and you can taxi in a Cessna 142. Really cool.
