Re: New Car and New Garage
This has probably left the realm of competition, since it is about the garage, rather than my new track car. But , responding to the posts. I don't have the lift yet. I plan to get a 42" rise semi-portable lift, but I need to give my bank account a rest for a while. This was all about celebrating my 60th birthday and my daughter's graduation from college (end of tuition), and I'll need a while to be able to afford the lift. Fortunately, everything on the track car is accessible without the lift, except possibly the engine bottom end and transmission. My wrenching skills are sufficiently weak that if that is necessary, I'll have to trailer it to the nearest Honda dealership (engine is stock F22, 240 hp).
I designed the garage using engineered wood beams. So there are no columns. Clear 25 ft by 32 ft space. Had a poly-aspartic/poly-urea floor sealer put down on the slab. There is a loft upstairs that is currently unfinished. No need for the space; this is all about resale value (I think it is better than the stock market). But I will put a ping pong table up there.
