Congrats on the garage upgrade, hope it all works out as hoped for...
I never got round to installing a lift, as I had spent so many years lying on my back under my cars, that any time I had the opportunity to work with a lift it felt awkward. I have to admit that these days I do very little to my cars, other than the usual Morgan service tasks and greasing. A pal installed a lift that fits flush with the floor when not in use which seems to work rather well and the idea of sitting on a stool while removing wheels and the likes really appealed, though I am past the stage of breaking up the concrete floor to bury all the gubbins of the lift.
I did think of buying into the easy lift type of kit, but the weight of the various bits involved either equated to leaving them in place on the deck, or having to drive over them each time I made use of the car, neither of which appealed.... So still rolling around the floor with a grease gun in hand as a sort of self assessment test of declining ability... (-:
My garage was ever untidy with building materials and or car parts both of which included "stuff" that grew and was kept just in case it might come in handy and took up ever more space as the years past. I ever looked at the adverts for ever larger tool cabinets over the years to the stage we seem to be at today where it seems that such kit has grown to more look like kitchen design...?
I ever thought tidy garages were the domain of tool collectors who may not know what half of their highly polished tools were actually designed to be made use of... However, that was until some years back I watched this circa 11 min vid
Nice one Ian I couldn't make the man maths work on the proper jacking beam, but have found low bottle jacks work really well direct off the ramp when it's a wheels off jobbie
