Building a new shop from the ground up

If you don't mind my asking, how tall is the ceiling inside from the floor? By the pics, it appears similar to mine, but like you, I didn't have the height for a two post. My ceiling is 9' from the floor. The style that you have might be an option for me tho. I'm impressed at the height you can get from it.

I went with a 9' ceiling on mine as well. With my car, I can max out the lift and still have a little space between the roof and the ceiling. The total height of the lift at max height, not including the lift itself, is 48" - if it was not recessed into the floor and you drove over it, total lift is in the 50"+ range

Nice Shop, btw!

So pretty much wrapped up the rest of the stuff I wanted to get to in the shop. Air lines are complete and the lift has a removable cover.

You suck! I mean that in a way that hides the fact that I wish it was mine

Thanks, lol. If it makes you feel any better I haven't been able to work on my car for almost a year due to working on doing this 🙂

thats the catch 22. A garage helps a lot. Working on your back in the driveway gets old
