Default I'll need a new garage first!...

I always thought I would dig a pit in my garage so I could just walk underneath. Unfortunately, it would probably turn into more storage and I couldn't crawl in there!

Default There's a member of this forum (banditoamigo) who has a four-post lift made by

Eagle and it's nice - he uses it for all sorts of things, including storage since he has a high-rise door that clears a car on the lift.<ul><li><a href="http://eagleequip.com/page/EE/PROD/LI-SS/GLO-7000XLT">Eagle 7000XLT</a></li></ul>
