Cali_KR Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 As some of my TS friends here know, my wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary this past December. And she got me this most awesome gift, a lift for my man cave! :happy feet: Took our son and myself just under 5 hours to install. When I designed the garage I made the end bay with a vaulted ceiling to accomodate the lift. We started construction on this back in 2001, and sat with just the foundation, pad and septic for about 6 years before we got going on the framing. The garage is esentially been complete since 2007. I was suffering from a common ailment during the extended construction phase, its medical term is "lacksocash" For the photo-op, I parked the '08 there, however, my sons project '68 Cougar will be parked underneath. McGuirk is already scheduling his undercarriage detail.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchGT500 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 That looks great, Tom. You are a lucky man. I can't put this in my garage. It is too low with about 8ft4 height. Hope your back will get better soon? Say high to your lovely wife. It is a nice gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
