new garage taking shape

[northern87gn]

Just finished installing the lift. Now back to the dreaded insulation.

That's sweet !!!! Care to share a little more about your new "toy box"? What are the dimensions, height, roof pitch......what are you using for heat and what ton A/C unit are you using?

With that lift, you can tell your wife that you have room for another GN, for her, with 40,000 miles that she can park right under your's !!!

Nice place. Enjoy

Nice, that is about 10k less than what I was quoted on a 40 x 60 rigid steel building.

Man I'm speechless except NICE!!!!!!!!!

How tall is the lift at the highest point?

right about 12' tall and 12' wide at the widest point of the base. The lift is the wider of two asymetric versions, the standard has 13" less width (and drive thru clearance.)

Way to go! Thats just nice all the way! You really need A/C in Duluth?! It takes alot of will power to stop working on your cars and get the shop built so you can get back to working on your cars comfortably!
