Its up and I am partially moved into my new 26'x30' garage. Unfortunately though a TR6 for a new harness and a 57 Thunderbird has beat my TR8 for occupancy. I do however have the walls covered just to give it that homey feel. A loft is coming and then a 2-post lift!

Where is the insulation and heater? Doesn't Maryland get kind of cold in the winter or do you stop doing stuff over the winter?
Great looking garage.

Cheers

Looks great Mike! I like how you kept the ceiling high. Plans for a lift? My ceiling is only 8' - I've been reading up on what it'd take to revise it. Seems like it's a pretty big job. You were definitely smart to build it that way from the outset!

I am doing insulation and eventually drywall. Two post lift yes! Since the bottom of the ceiling is 13'-3"

13'? Great. I was trying to guess based on the height above the garage doors plus the raised ceiling. It's higher than I thought.

I have 8' tall garage doors and the walls are 11'. I have TWO 240v 8 and 6 gauge lines run out to the garage. I'm ready for the lift, compressor and welder.

Garage looks awesome did you make sure your floor is thick enough for the lift

It's a 5 inch slab with two grade beams 24" wide x 16" deep right where the lift will go.
