Car Lift

My long time mechanic buddy got to old to get off the floor so he had a carpenter come over and coffer the ceiling in his shop, now he has a lift to does his service work. Did not require any concrete work set on a 4 inch floor.
When I built my new shop I also coffered the ceiling up to 13 feet and installed a 9000 pound Rotary 4 post lift.
Can you you pic's I you want a look.
Yes I have looked at opening up the ceiling along with other options but I only have an 8 ft ceiling with 4/12 pitch so still wouldn't have enough room possibility of a metal carport for covering but I would have a hard time getting that by the code cops
