Write up on a self installed lift.
Saw this on another forum. This is a great write up by a guy who went on a heck of an adventure to put a lift in his garage.

Yeah, scroll near the end and you'll see a smaller image of his NSX on the lift with a bold style sentence or two above it. His son is in the picture above it standing outise the garage. You can roll over it and click on it. It's an 8 MB download.

I finally viewed the video and That garage door opener pulley cord is brushing up against that back of that NSX! I sure hope he strings that thing out of the way next time!

Yeah, mega-long thread, but it was well worth the read. I felt so bad for this guy as I was reading it. But it's so rewarding when you have those long projects come to a positve finish.
I saw the garage door opener pulley too. Hopefully, that cord is wrapped in a MF or something by now.

This one quote sums up a few of my journeys. It's nice to hear that there are others who go through the same thing.

"Well one week passes and no new news. Meanwhile I suffer the endless torture and ridicule of my family, friends, and co-workers. I am hearing from people I haven't talked to in years - calling me up as they have heard I was trying to put a lift in my garage and it wasn't going well. My closest friends know not to even ask anymore. It is all I can think about. It has consumed me and I know I have to figure this out myself, MacGyver style, as patience wasn't something I was born with."
