46 days later...
My SVX is back in a garage. She weathered 2 hail storms and 46 days while I built the garage-ma-tall. An 18 foot high, 2 storied 11x19 garage on the existing footers as it is a non-conforming existing structure according to local zoning. I couldn't go wider but I could go up! 2nd story will be the Rabbit room where the 57 Fuji will live while I restore it and will also house all my tools. A nice 880lbs electric hoist is there to get the big stuff up without breaking a back. Only things left to do are install insulation downstairs, cover it with OSB (can't beat the $5 a sheet price so it wins out) install a permanent ladder to the 2nd floor and finish installing my industrial strenth 1/4 inch rubber flooring squares downstairs. Much appriciation to both Subieman90 and Hocrest for their help on the stuff I absolutely needed 2 people for.
Although its small she's definately an upgrade over the termite remains of an80 year old garage with 1 electric outlet and 1 light. I now have a 30 amp service for it with its own box, 14 outlets, 6 worklights with side mounts for 2 more when working on the ground overhead door with opener. Now its time to finish the other 2 projects so we can get back to work getting ready to race in August!

Excelent! take some pictures of that beast! i remember when me and my old man built our garage, 2 story 2car entirely of 2x4, 2x6, 2x8, and 4'x8' sheets of plywood, and lots of nails on a cement pad. Didn't have the insight to put some of the cool toys you have in it though. Congrats on your new build.
