Thanks !
Framming should be done this week... planning on running 200 amp service, get my bendpack rep out here for two lifts.. I am debating whether I need shop air, I had huge compressor in my other garage, barely used it. Air tools are nice, but it takes up a decent amount of real estate, and battery operated tools are just as good these days.

Looking good and with the 14' ceiling a 4 post lift will be perfect. One can never have too much garage space. Every time I go out to my detached garage, I kick myself for not making it a four stall instead of the three stall that I designed.

I justdid pick up a place in north carolina though, on a lake with room for 8 cars without a lift, so I'll have plenty of room to play down there :-)

I just picked up an M18 High Output 12.0 battery pack yesterday. Now I can run the cutoff without stop. Yes, battery tools knock the wind out of having air tanks, lines and all the racket. My Fuel impact hammer never leaves my side now. Until I bought that I did everything by hand. Sure, my hands were really strong because of it but why go through an extra hour spinning small screws off part of the car when you can zip them quickly and safely? Two big thumbs up.

Wow I'm impressed with all of the amazing garages. The view out the back is going to be awesome. Are you sure you aren't going to build a loft on the second floor? 😀

second floor will be for storage / etc. 8 foot cathedral ceiling on the second floor, and lots of windows. :-)
