Alright...I'll bite....
I built this myself to save ching, I used to do it for a living and carpentry is a hobby...think I have under 20k as you see if, lift, doors, the whole 9 yards...its actually smaller than I'd like depth wise at 24'...my next one is gonna be a metal building as I plan on moving into the boonies some for the room...
The building inspector freaked when he seen the lift, specially in a residential zone...Thats why I never told em I was putting one in...
I use the end bays for storage..
One bay to paint and chit..
One bay to play..
Attic trusses for extra room...blast cabinet is up here..

Awesome garage, rio.
One question, how do you like that rotary lift, and how much did it run you? (you can PM me the price if you want)
My reason for asking is my dad and I built a garage with 10 foot doors/12 foot ceilings over the past year and a half or so, with getting a lift in mind sometime early this summer. There are so many lifts out there, we just don't know which brands are good or not.

That looks great Andy. I hope to have something similar at my house in the future.
Currently, I'm helping my dad build a metal garage. It's 25' x 35'. We are building the 2 ends like the house .... & it will have 12' roll-up doors on each end (plus a side door). We sat the building on a 4' foundation as well. I don't know how tall it is yet .... but the lift we're putting in is like Andy's.
There's a dude on here that has a Mach1, Lightning, etc. I can't remember his name .... but he has a nice garage.

Dan....I researched tons before buying one...Rotary is like the Caddy of lifts and was always suggested...look in most dealerships and Rotary is the brand your most likely to see...I did my own install and its tit...have had nada for issues with it....I pd 2700.00 with truck adapters shipped from the factory...today I think their 3100.00 from the same dealer....Rotary is nice as their much smaller size wise than others i seen...mine's 9000lb capacity and I got the kind you can open the doors with, asymetrical I believe...Prices on these are real good....I think I used Gabbert Supply out of Texas to order/buy it...They dealt with the factory to direct ship to me...
only thing you wanna do is make sure you use good concrete, no Sak-Crete here...

Yea that's no problem about the concrete thickness. My dad did his research on that. Definitely wasn't sak-crete either lol, we had a cement truck come and pour the slab, then a guy finished it for us...the only work that wasn't done by us on the whole project. I'll tell him you definitely recommend Rotary, the other one we were looking at is Eagle (I think that was the name), its the lift that they use on Trucks on Spike TV.
