New Shop

A 3 car garage within a garage :yay

This is the area where the Camaros will be stored. Full bathroom and get away area is whats on the right. 9' garage doors will be added to each bay.

Good idea separating the stored cars area from the work area like that. I'm anxious to see this finished; it looks a lot like the type of setup I plan to build within the next 5 years or so.
 
Got the lift yesterday and snapped a few pics of where the shop is at now.

First let me say the Greg Smith Equipment was a pleasure to deal with. Greg Smith himself came out and answered all of our questions and took care of us personally. Very honest and super funny guy.

While we were there we picked up a few extras (84" 2 ton tripod stands, hose reals, LED drop light, wheel dollies and an 18 gal upright oil drain).

We went with the Atlas OH9000 2 post lift as it seemed to have all of the features that we were looking for.

Loading it was the easy part, the head scratching came when we were trying to decided how 2 guys were going to unload a 1400lb hunk of metal.

After a lot of thinking and breaking out the cherry picker we had it on the ground. Note we made use of 2 of the wheel dollies.

Now for a few pics of the shop. Still waiting for 10 more of the 8' lights. In all there will be 21 8' lights with 6500k bulbs (very bright).

As you can see there is still a lot more work to do and more equipment to move in including my tool box (big heavy and no fun to move).

The lift will not be installed until we finish the ceiling where the lift is going to be so don't expect to see it up any time soon.

Wow this is nice, can't even begin to imagine how much that cost you. If I had a garage like that, I don't think you could pay me to leave

I like that shop. The ceiling looks a bit low, but in reality it is probably 13 feet or so?

If you look at the pictures at the back of the shop you will see it goes all the way to the top of the building, that's where we installed the lift this weekend. Living in Ohio we lowered the ceiling in the rest of the shop to help with heating and cooling.

Speaking of heating and cooling, are you using a residential type natural-gas forced air setup, or commercial oil burning heater, or...?

So to bring up so an old thread but I gotta know how this place looks now.

No new pics but here is a video I took a while ago. Other than the bathroom and the inside garage doors the shop is pretty much done.
