Congrats. Been looking at some all metal garages because my 2 car garage is only 8 feet tall. I'd love to have something like yours.

Thank you, but mine is more like a big barn shed, I love it anyway and I think it will get the work done

I've been chasing the same idea.
What questions do you have? I've looked up lift manufacturers installation manuals to make sure cement is thick enough and of the right density (before). You should probably consider some sort of Air delivery. Weather for pneumatic tools or even to pump up your tires. I would also consider some sort of rafter mounted hose or power cord. Finally, what about a nice rail system in overhead to later pull engines in and out of cars. Ok, so maybe I went a little over with the lift, but it will be in my garage. Good luck. |

^I picked up a little Lincoln wire feed MIG welder with a CO2 bottle probably 8 years ago and Ive used the crap out of it. All sorts of little stuff, but literally HUNDREDS of feet of 4 rail pipe railing for barn; deck railings, antenna masts, etc, etc. Fixing broken tractor bits, etc.
Oh, one thing- people look at some of the projects and say "wow, you are a really good welder" to which I reply "I am a better grinder". You want a 4" right angle grinder, all the usual blades, but also abrasive disks with 'sandpaper fan' type surfaces- it will polish a welded joint to make it look like it was cast. For welders, look for something used - craigslist ideally so you can check it out and make sure all is good. Sometimes a store will have smaller units when guys upgrade their rigs too. |
