Mully, Big congrats to you!! That's gonna be quite the man cave when it's finished. It looks great and to see you doing alot of it yourself is impressive. Now you'll have room for more toys LOL..........:thumrigh: It's amazing how garages just seem to fill up so dang fast.

Spend a little time on this site for lots of ideas. It's kinda like FABO, but for garages.

http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/

I have already spent some time over there and was treated like a very poorly. I explained that I was needing info on power, water, and data ran to the shop. Told them(later on in the thread) what three licensed electricians said and the guys on the garagejournal said ite was incorrect. When I made the thread I had not talked to anyone but as time rolled on I did and finally got back to my thread. Long story but they told me to "search for yourself" and "why are you even asking us if you aren't going to listen to us". Anyways I'm done over there.

You MAY want to consider a "loft" truss instead for the roof........Not too much more investment, and TONS more storage.......Boy am I glad I chose them.......I have a 12 by 38 foot room upstairs with a full 7.5" ceiling just by changing out my roof truss design.

A little more cost, a little more steel roofing.......But WOW what a difference.

My roof pinch is 6 and 12 so I doubt there is going to much room up there far as height to work with. Also the roof design is a Hip roof not gable. It needs to be HIP to match my house

Looks good, ever think about a mini-spit for heat & a/c? Friend just got a 2 ton unit from http://www.ac-world.com/?gclid=CPTgsYnG0akCFQgbQgodo1gxNw

I all need for my sq ft of the shop is a 15000 btu so Im going to get the PTAC type with heat pump. I already have the rough opening built.

Just noticed you mentioned a lift, I spoke with a local guy that does all the dealerships and what not. He told me 4" is all that is needed, providing it is reinforced 3000psi stuff. Also has to be, I think it was 8" from the edge or any crack/cut/joint. This was a 2 post lift.....

Ive seen the four post lift and liked it very much. I will check into it however on the price of 3000 psi versus 6". Thanks
