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

Looks like a good way to sneak in a workout for people that don't like working out...but like not paying someone for yard work (I'm pointing at myself right now).

Very cool space, and VERY cool property!

And we got some plants around the stairs [down to the 914 garage] now.

But first, what we started with...

Steve, on my lift I cut a 1 inch wide by 1 1/2 deep notch in the cement with just a skill saw and cement blade. Where the hydraulic line goes down to the lift, that needs to be at an angle deeper to give the line room for movement. Best, MarkAttached Image Attached Image

Looking great! Tons of work in these hot days but things progressing nicely there. I do not know if people mentioned it since there are a thousand suggestions and comments before me, but a nice concrete sealer would help a ton if you are working on cars. Good to seal the floor while empty.

Also, LED is awesome for lighting. Here check out my little 2 door garage area. Installed (4) 4' foot fixtures (2 lights each fixture which brings it a total of 8) and the output is great at half the power output and longer lasting than flourescent.

What kind of compression system you running?
