When walls go up it feels like the job is really underway. You won't get lost in that big a space Ray? :clap:

I'm chomping at the bit Les. Already shopping for cabinets and designing work bench options.

Looks fine from here, one thing I wished I had done on mine was bury a chain under the floor with a ring protruding.  Used as a dead man to pull dead vehicles inside.  How thick is the floor?

Good idea! Years ago I bought a plate that anchors to the floor for just that purpose -- attach a winch and it will pull a vehicle or anything else across that floor easily. The floor is a standard 4" --

Looks like a beautiful spot mate.

Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Roof trusses are going on as i sit here this morning. The builder says that she'll be under roof and have at least tar paper on by tomorrow. The crew is Hispanic, and I have never seen a faster and more hard working bunch of guys in my life. They are a "well oiled" machine and it's fascinating to watch how they think and work in unison.

Pics to follow.

Another milestone achieved - she’s under roof and waiting for electrical, siding, drywall,  and concrete driveway pour

Getting it dried in is a big step in the right direction. I like the look of it. Very nice.

Thanks Les! The one on the far right has the high ceiling for the lift. Right now I'm trying to figure out if I want a two post or four post -- choices are very broad, but I'm leaning to the four post option. What do you think?

Oh yeah -- it's a big relief, especially right now since a major thunderstorm passed over us not five minutes ago. The power kicked off, but the Generac did it's job. It kicked in when it was supposed to.

Last time I used a lift was back in high school when I worked at a gas station. I know quite a few of our members have lifts so they are the ones to answer that question. Start a thread asking for opinions.
