Make-over, finally did it.......
Well I have not been on very often recently as the wifey took a vacation with my 2 boys (6 & 4) by themselves. It was planned as I had a 2 page "honey do list" & figured that I could work very efficiently by myself. It's a 3 car garage. It worked.....LOL.
Well the BEST part of my list was I gave my garage a "face lift". I did a ton of research (saw many online pics of cool garages). Well here are the pics:
& the BEST part of the "face lift":
No not the mustang (even though I do like it quite a bit, I added a 6,000lb lift. It is a scissor lift, but more importantly I did quite a bit of research to make sure all fit + this scissor lift had an open middle. It lifts the car on the frame with pads/pucks etc... I built ramps before & after to ensure all cars clear including the vette. The wooden ramps are 2x12x3ft & are bolted to the concrete. I also painted the walls. LOVE the garage, truly a man cave now!! Hope you guys like!

Garage looks great. Could you PM me more info on the lift you bought? Looks like it would work well in my garage since I have only an 8' ceiling.

Very affordable & the company was great to deal with. Set-up took about 1hr on my own. It took longer to secure the wooden ramps than set up the lift.....LOL
And YES, it s the one in the video!!! Good eye Ona Mission.

Wow Mike, it's awesome. Looks Fantastic! That is the only kind of man cave!
Now you are ready to make side money with the use of your lift!
Hope we can get out for a drive or two sometime this month.
