Well I finally bit the bullet, emptied the ban account, and built a way better facility for me and my girls. Here is the series of events. Inside work has just started, so no pictures yet.

The foundation took a few days. The garage was a one day build.

Very nice!! Really nice looking space...the stone wall looks really nice too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Gotta ask...is that your Kubota? I'm guessing L25xx-L3xxx? How do you like it (asking because my Dad's looking for a CUT)?

Thanks everyone. Not sure if I am going to upgrade the lift I have to a 4-poster or just stick with the max jack. I can only work on the 914, as I know nothing about the 911 and I think any work on the 911 other than simple stuff, like an oil change, is above my pay grade.

Much of the 911 is similar to the 914 and with so many YouTube videos out there, it’s pretty easy to see what you are in for and follow step by step.
4 post lifts are good for storage but your max jack is better for doing work

I need a garage built at my place soo bad! Had plans drawn up already (a more modest one than you've got), but haven't gone for city approval yet, after the sticker shock I got from the very specific (over built IMHO) type of foundation that's required. It can't be a simple slab, city want's something more elaborate. We have near solid limestone about 1/2 foot down... shoots the price way up.

Your new Garage is Sweet !!! Congrats.

Thanks! It’s funny-we’re looking for smaller, but not too small(have 20,000 lb, 100 hp backhoe now).
