I'm movin'!
Were moving into our first house in a couple weeks and I'll finally have a garage of my own! No more working on **** in the alley under the sun! I'm stoked. Thought I would share with everyone.

But where is the lift? Or the hanger? Congrats on your first built for you workspace. Buy what YOU think you need. The best way to build a healthy and long enduring shop is proper tool maintenance. Know where your **** is and put it up b4 you go to bed.

Look again, I have a Handy Lift + another. I also built stands that lift the back of the bike for shock changes rather than hang from rafters (which is not structural sound in many cases).
2.5 CF is enough for 2 six-packs & a couple of 5ths of hard stuff!
Surround-sound & Dolby has also been sufficient but I get distracted with music when I'm doing critical stuff being ADD, etc. LOL
