We bought a new house many months ago, and the house needed a ton of work. The "house" part of our remodel is almost over, and now I'm making plans for the garage. I actually can't believe I haven't but more thought into this yet as one of the primary reasons we (or I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) liked the house is it has a big 2-car garage AND a big 3-car garage. And a big yard. Yay me.

Without benches or storage, I think 10 914s would actually fit in the 2 garages (tandem).

So... What do you think of my layout plan? Any other ideas below. The most space I've had to work with before this was a 22x20 2-car garage.

1. LIFT - We have to do some concrete work in the garage now anyways, so I think I may put some type of scissor lift in the floor. The ceiling is flat and only about 8.5' or 9.0'.

- Any lift recommendations?

- What needs to be plumbed into the lift? Just power or ? (I'm just starting my research now)

- Do you think the center position is the best for the lift?

2. BENCHES. What do you think? Benches as I drew along the top, or benches in the bottom stall? That closet has to stay there.

Any ideas or inspiration? Thanks!

-Steve
